Has anyone been able to get German WW2 fighters to attack B17s head on?

I've been messing around in  the editor for a while trying to accomplish this, but they always fly right past the bombers to turn and slowly approach from the rear, getting torn apart by machine gun fire from the formation. 

Can I use the ME to set up a historical head on attack?

i vaguely remember that you'd need to put the fighters on highest skill level for there to be a chance of them trying a head-on attack.
also this might only work on open beta at the moment, since i think this was only added recently.
maybe i'm wrong though...

AI skill level does not seem to have any effect.

then i'm out of ideas unfortunately. maybe the feature is not in yet. try again after the next update perhaps...

Yes, I was finally able to figure it out. Turns out you cant have the AI set on a CAP mission. You need to set the AI mission to Intercept and then set an Attack Group task specifically on the group of bombers.

ok. good to know. i think it should also work with CAP: @NineLine maybe check if this is intended behaviour or simply an oversight?!
