Disclaimer: This is what I could observe as a player, I have not looked at the scenario design.

In the scenario I am currently playing, the computer AI launched (what I assume to be) a strike mission against (I assume) my carrier. The strike mission included 5 Phantom IIs and 4 Mirage F1s. My 4 Harriers easily wiped them out using AMRAAMs and Sidewinders but what I noticed was that as far as I could tell none of the enemy fighters ever fired back. They attempted some basic evasion but other than that it was just 9 easy free kills.

Is that how strike missions are supposed to work?

Yeah we need to see it to tell you exactly is going on.

In general though escorts will fire if a target meets the parameters to firing a weapon. If the opportunity fire ROE is set to on they will be more aggressive.

Sorry, I don't have a save* and I don't know how the mission was set up by the scenario designer. I was just wondering if, in general, AAW capable aircraft that are part of strike missions, will defend themselves when set as strike elements (not escorts).

*The game has been rock solid on my computer so I tend not to save a lot.
