Anyone finding their driver defaults to pistol when disnounted?

Been noticing it a bit - when I dismount tank or m/c crew - the one I’m driving with - be it commander, gunner or driver - dismounts with pistol in hand, not their main weapon - which is usually a SMG.

Wondering if it’s something I’m doing or if others are seeing maybe a bug report.

does not happen to me.

despite having pistols AND primary Smgs, they hop out using primaries:

Must check settings then - it’s not always, and it is only ever the one I’m controling - never the others

Figured it out - and I think it is a bug…

Try this - drive the vehicle using one of hte slots that is not the default driver - I’ve been finding this with hte premium m/c squad and driving as position #3 - the engineer passenger.

then dismount, and change to the normal default driver.

When I do this on the m/c squad the default driver is always using the pistol and not the SMG he also has.

The tank squad for Tunisia is OK, and so is the Jumbo squad - haven’t tried hte others.

Did a wee video on the practice field - it’ll take a couple of minutes to finish uploading:

i see.

well, might as well report it.

i’d be best if the whole behavior of AI soldiers change.

like, they should always give priority to the main primary weapon ( if they have one ) instead of using the secondary ( unless has no ammo for primary ).

it would be fine as it is if secondaries wouldn’t be next to worthless due to low damage.
