I have no idea why but... changing the weather fixes this issue.

I'm trying to reproduce this issue over Caucasus but I can't...

"Overcast and Rain" 1 and 2 presets are even worse than "Overcast and Rain 3": 3 Harriers abort the mission.

It looks like they RTB because they lose sight of their leader... but AI units are not supposed to react to clouds yet... I tried using a closer formation, but that did not change anything.
