investigating "Reaction to Threat = NO REACTION" does not work

See attached tracks.  AI bombers act defensively despite NO REACTION being set in editor.

I can't remember if this is shown in any of the tracks or not, but an additional bug is that the wingmen in an AI flight with the task "Carpet Bombing" will drop their bombs along with the lead, regardless of if they are at the correct drop point or not (if they are avoiding AAA, interceptors, etc.)

I've just tested the only tracks which don't require the A-4E mod. I agree both Tu22M3 and Su-24M don't follow the "NO REACTION" order.

When I replace them by B-1B, they follow the order.

Update:

 

This appears to be tied to any ability of the subject aircraft to defend itself with air-to-air weapons of any kind, to include tail guns or internal cannon.  This is why the B-1B works fine; it has no self-defense armament.  Setting "Restrict Air-to-Air Attack = on" in addition to Reaction to Threat = NO REACTION causes the Tu-22, Su17, and Su-24 to act as expected.

Nice find.
