AI ignores hard deck

[CrispyRoboChicken]

Hello and happy new year!

I am currently in the middle of the campaign and just finished Mission 5. It is super interesting to see how those trainings were structured and I already learned a lot about the MiG-21. 

One thing, that is a bit frustrating though is, that the AI ignores the hard deck completly. If I manage to get behind my enemy they just dive to the ground and the fight is terminated, when I hit 12.000ft. This might be a limitation with DCS or maybe it broke with some update, but it just feels unfair and unrealistic, especially when everything else in the campaign is so well done.

Is there a way to fix this? If not you might want to think about offering the option to ignore the hard deck via the F-10 menu like
1. Offensive BFM
2. Offensive BFM (No Hard Deck)
...

Yes, this is annoying. The other BFM campaigns (Maple Flag) just remove the hard deck, which is much better if the AI cannot behave. They still occasionally crash into the actual hard deck
