oke, so i have done some testing and looking around on the discord and steam. It looks like the AI can only use those aircraft from carriers and Airfields. AKA the AI doesn't do CAP and stuff like that. It should be fix by the devs within a week or so. I didn't know about this when i made the mission so i am sorry. -_-

That is weird ill see if i can fix that, they were working for me. thanks for telling.

Fun scenario! Not sure if it was just random chance, but for me the Soviet Carrier never launched anything other than AWACS and all of its helicopters. Made it very easy to hit it with the carrier wing.
