Description

If it's not too much trouble, Myself, (as well as warmachine and possibly BtA) have a use case for fighters to shoot down bombs that are chasing them. Currently the AI doesn't know how to use it's primary or secondary banks in self defense against bombs or interceptable missiles that it is under threat by.

Ideally, this flag/option would allow fighters to shoot at pursuing interceptable/bombs under certain circumstances, some examples:
if the fighter has no chance to evade,
if it is already directionality facing the bombs,
if it has long range weapons and the bombs are far away thus giving the fighter has enough time to turn around and shoot.

Additionally, allowing the "glide attack" move (as documented in `$Glide Attack Percent:`) to be used to target a pursuing bombs when the requested feature is active, would be very swell and greatly appreciated.

How feasible would this be? Please and Thank you in advance.
