AI Flights do not employ HARMS

[Gilligan]

I really enjoy this campaign, especially the SEAD missions, 2, 4, and 8. however I cannot seem to get my AI wingmen to engage SAM threats with the HARMS reliably on missions 2 and 8, and on mission 4 the Springfield flight of F18's tasked with SEAD fails to engage as well and just RTB's after flying a lap of the combat area. Also noteworthy that the 2nd F16 flight (COLT 2) will not engage the south SA-2 site on mission 2. They exhibit the same behavior as the Springfield flight during mission 4, and fail to engage anything. 

whether I tell the whole flight or individual wingmen to "engage mission & rejoin" they never really do anything aside from fly to each waypoint. They all acknowledge the command, but don't engage anything. The other missions with bombs or mavericks they engage (my) targets just fine, and abide the other commands (engage air defenses, engage ground targets) just fine. However more often than not they will fail to shoot their harms at anything. 

I understand they will prioritize defending or engage air threats, however this behavior is persistent regardless of air picture.

Over multiple replays, one time one of the wingmen engaged an SA2 search radar with a HARM (mission 2) after I used the "engage Air Defenses" commend. I have been unable to reproduce this when trying the "engage air defense" command in lieu of the "engage target and rejoin" command to get them to engage their primary targets. This is the ONLY instance in several flights of these missions that I have seen the AI use a HARM at all. 

Looking at the mission planner, I did notice that the advanced waypoint command for the IP - "Search in Area & Engage" - that the search area is too small and the target sam sites are outside of the search area, however increasing the area radius or moving the area to cover the target sites doesn't seem to have any effect on their behavior either.

I'm not sure what changed, but AI flights now employ harms as directed/planned.
