CAGE mode does not switch trigger control to air-to-air weapons

[SgtPappy]

I wasn't able to find a bug report for this exactly, and maybe I misunderstood the function so please correct me if I'm wrong. 

However the manual states that:

When the cage condition is present the following changes happen:

• Air-To-Air light in the rear pit illuminates.
• Trigger control is transferred to the air-to-air weapons (including when ARM and TV are selected)
• Optical sight switches into the A/A mode.
• Computer Automatic Acquisition becomes available.

 

It appears that the second point is not true. I am unable to fire any air to air weapons using cage mode if my weapon selector is in TV mode. I was able to fire just the gun with ARM selected but Sparrows and Sidewinders do not fire. Oddly, when I press the trigger, the weapons system just cycles through Sidewinders without firing when TV or ARM are selected and WRCS set to either off or direct.

Please see the attached tracks. I am able to reproduce this every time.
