According to the documentation, SpyPlane.Mission= on a Type=SpyPlane SW allows to customize the mission that the aircraft called in by that SW is assigned to.

I've tried various entries here (though I can't say I've tried *all* possible missions), and it seems that they have no differentiable effect - the aircraft will always act as if on an 'Attack' mission, except if set to SpyPlaneApproach or omitted entirely, which works as expected.

Is this intentional, a bug, a limitation? Is attacking just what aircraft does, on any mission? Are there any missions that produce different results?

I can confirm this. At least, setting the mission to just "Move" makes the unit fire at the target as it does in the "Attack" mission.

From what I understand, the SpyPlane-spawned aircraft can only flyby (for scouting, shroud reveal) or attack. What other behaviors did you expect?

Well, considering that the Ares documentation explicity lists Move and Guard(!) as options, I would have thought that their behaviour would differ from one another, and differ from Attack, too. What I would have expected aircraft to do on each of those missions, I'm not sure - perhaps Move to cause the plane to simply land at the target location.
