Multicrew ATGMs will not launch with player gunner

With a player gunner the missile tone disappears after pressing launch ATGM, the Missile loaded/ready light goes off but no missile launches. If I switch to the gunner seat while player moves to the back seat or door gunner, I am able to launch missiles. This was reproduced with multiple players from different regions.

I tested this with a friend as well. The tricky thing is that it worked fine when I was CPGing solo but didn't work in multiplayer.

In order to test this I placed 4 Mi-24 slots, each with 8 AT-6 and 2 rocket pods. Each slot had a different control priority. We only tried "equally responsible" and "pilot only".

I could view and manipulate the sight and systems. Everything worked except the ATGMs themselves. My ATGM fire button is located on my joystick. I know the joystick worked because I was (unknowingly) flying the helicopter during the first flight and I also use it to control the sight's axis in subsequent attempts. Just to be sure, I bound it to my keyboard as well with no result. When I got tone and held fire nothing happened or the tone stopped working. This is especially abnormal because prior to the update I could fire even outside of tone in many cases.

In the track file I am the CPG and we (my pilot and I) attempt to use the ATGMs, first in an Equally Responsible helo and then in a Pilot one. We first targeted the fuel tankers and then a treeline. No missiles were launched in either case. The other armaments (gun, rockets) worked.

I have spent a good bit of time in the CPG seat so, for what it's worth, I am confident that this is a bug.
