F-35s with AARGM-ER not firing all missiles

I have a strike mission where 4 F-35As with 6 AARGM-ER missiles each have a strike mission against an S-400.
- WRA is Weapons per Salvo for "Mobile Target - Hardened - Mobile Vehicle(s)" is set to "Use All weapons against this target" and Shooters per Salvo is set to "4 units"
- If I understand correctly this should have each F-35A launch 6 AARGM-ER missiles for a total of 24 missiles.
Instead what happens is 2 AARGM-ERs are fired (leaving 22 on the squadron), then all 4 F-35s fly to the S-400
- Weirdly, as soon as the F-35s reach the S-400, the number of AARGM-ERs they have drops from 22 to 10, however I can't see them being fired, and there are no indications in the log that they hit the ground.
- The F-35s then fly over the S-400 until they reach Bingo on fuel and RTB.

the attachment shows only the F''s already in RTB mode, can you add the scenario at time of start of the sim?

Ignore the F-35s landing, they were from other tests that I didn't delete. The mission I set up has 4 f-35s launch at 22:50:00 Zulu.

This bug also happens with other aircraft:
- The attached save has 4 F/A-18Es with the heavy AARGM-ER loadout (4 AARGM-ER per plane) on a strike against a S-400.
- WRA is "Twice as many weapons as the target's Missile Defense Value" and Shooters per Salvo is "Fire from enough to fill salvo requirement".
- The F/A-18Es take off, fly to the launch point, and only the flight leader fires 4 AARGM-ERs. The other three aircraft in the flight do not fire, and fly towards the S-400 while the flight leader RTBs.
- The 3 planes don't fly all the way to the S-400, instead they turn around about 70 miles from the S-400 and 50 miles from the launch point listed in the flight plan, and start trying to catch back up to the leader.

Is this still happening in the current public build ?
