So if you fly the Defiant in WW2 it has a weird feature where the armament is " 1x Dummy (2147483647) "

The Defiant does not have forward firing guns, it only has a rear turret gunner firing 4 .30cals, though the Defiant AI fights like a fighter plane, jinking and maneuvering and pursuing enemy fighters.

In the Jet age, the AI will not engage with an only missiles load out, the plane has to have a gun also.

For instance the F-4 Phantom has to have the gun pod to engage other fighters, they will use missiles also, just not very aggressively.

There was a possible fix floated by someone of adding a "fake" gun to the plane.

How easy would it be to add the  " 1x Dummy (2147483647) " to something like the F-4 Phantom to get pure missile to missile engagements?  Would they use missiles with this?

I was shot down by MiG-25R more than once. It doesn't have guns, as I remember.
