Am I just having bad luck? Has anyone else seen many Echos out there?

Man this board is quiet! I didn't hear anything from anyone so I started doing some checking in the campaign files. Turns out there are no Echo IIs in any of the 1984 campaign missions at all. I added them in for myself but not sure if I did it right!
Devs - Was this an oversight or is there a specific reason why they weren't included? The Echo IIs didn't start getting decommed until the early 1990s, so while not top of the line units in 1984 there was still more of them around than all other SSGNs combined.
