Delay in weapon reticle switching in jets

Hi fellow soldiers,  

I am not sure if it's a known thing or if it's just on my end, but lately I have noticed quite a bit of a delay between me pressing 'F' to switch the weapon in the jet and the targeting crosshair of that weapon actually changing on the HUD. The weapon itself switches instantly in the bottom right corner, so it's kinda weird. This was not the case at launch, so maybe a patch messed it up or idk?

    M7-StriX​ That kind of sounds more like the weapon swap is going through, but the HUD reticle is lagging behind it.

    Since the bottom-right weapon icon changes right away, can you try a few things to help narrow down if this is input-related or more on the HUD side?

    See if this changes anything.

    1. Try switching weapons with F, then try mouse wheel up, and see if one has more delay than the other.
    2. Try using 1 and 2 directly for primary/secondary weapon selection.
    3. Reset your aircraft keybinds, then rebind only the switch weapon and test again.
    4. Try a different jet loadout to see if it only happens with certain weapon combos.
    5. Check if this happens in every mode/map, or only after joining a live match.
