SEAD packages not following ROEs

[LetMePickThat]

Hi all.

I'm having a hard time setting up SEAD missions. When tasked with SEAD, and with specific groups to target and expand all ARMs on, the aircrafts still go for target of opportunity despite being in RoE "Only designated" ("engage only the enemy group designated as the target for the action"). This results in very inefficient strikes.

What I have tried so far:

• Change "attack group" orders to "attack unit" orders: no difference,
• Force weapon allocation: not respected by attacking unit, still going for TOOs,
• Place the "Attack group/unit" orders and ROE setting on the inital waypoint, instead of the weapon release waypoint: no change

Is that expected behaviour? If so, how can I get SEAD missions to unfold as planned ?

Thanks !

I brought this up not too long ago because I also found the SEAD task logic to be......illogical. Basically to get them to attack designated targets and ignore TOO, set their task as Gound Attack (or just keep SEAD task and disable the SEAD action), then set attack group/unit and such as desired.

I was suspecting something like this was at play. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to restrict a SEAD package to given targets, but hey, at least there's a workaround.
