Can Flight / Wingmen attack mission targets?

[DimSim]

Just started the campaign and am enjoying it.

Some of the missions have had F10 menu options to direct the flight to attack primary or secondary targets. When I've tried this, I hear an acknowledgement, then nothing happens. Not once has my flight attacked anything that I know of.  Since map symbols and external views are disabled, I can't tell if they are even trying. Perhaps this is a bug?

I would like to let the flight attack, partly to help out, and partly to use their weapons if I've only destroyed part of a larger target group and am now low on ammo.

If using the F10 menu it will only be at moments I've scripted for (note please make sure you are using the F10 option within the radio menu not the F2 wingman option - a common mistake), you'll be notified on a message in the top right if wingman commands are available.  If you're using the correct menu and have any specific examples of an attack not working let me know and I'll take a deeper look and make sure all is working ok.
