Wingmen equipped with a gun pod and no internal gun will not use it in air-to-air combat?

[+dtmdragon 2,606]

I am at the latest patch level (unfortunately) and my wingmen equipped with a gun pod and no internal gun will not use it in air-to-air combat, does anyone else have this issue? I am Using the AV-8B II Plus but have removed the internal gun and replaced it with removable gun pods linked to the gun pod nodes so I can have LID’s instead of the gun pods if I want etc. The LID’s are from the GR7
