Night fighters on day missions?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Night fighters on day missions?

You can set a Pe-3 equipped fighter squadron to day missions, but the system won't let you assign them to bombing missions and they don't seem to want to intercept. This is a shame, since they have the best range of any Soviet fighter. Is this WAD? Experimenting with the Germans, it looks like their night fighters will fly during the day if you set them to day missions.

For me I don’t bomb cities as Russian and spec not on long range, I find it useless, and nightbombing total
Airfight intercept air ground near the frontline
Of course I do my air supply and recon

As the Soviets, I tend to strat bomb rail centers to limit the Axis ability to redeploy troops. I'd think with the reduction of Soviet rail capacity in 1.12 this would be a good idea for the Axis as well.
