I was playing as a gunner with a friend playing as the pilot.
After a while we decided that I should try to take control of both flight controls and the weapons. After I had assumed weapon controls as copilot I tried to fire with the the key boud to "Mi-24P Copilot-Gunner -> Weapons -> Release weapons", but nothing happened. I then tried to manually click the button on the cyclic with my mouse cursor and the gun fired.
We figured it was useless to have to move my hand from the stick to the mouse to fire weapons so the pilot took the controls back for both weapons and flight. When he was flying and shooting I was looking through the controls to see if something was bound wrong. They were not. However when doing this I pressed all my bound buttons a lot to see if things responded and all of a sudden the helicopter fired it's cannon. It turned out that I could fire the gun from the front seat even though the rear seat had weapon control.
We also tried having flight controls in the front seat and weapon controls in the rear seat. When we did that I could both fly and shoot from the front seat, but I had to rely on the rear seat to switch weapons and fire rate.
It's as if the game is mixing the "Mi-24P Copilot-Gunner" and the "Mi-24P Pilot" controls.
This was on a server on my PC with just me and my mate on it.
