Heavy tanks' flame-throwers do not work

Product: Battlefield 1
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Summarize your bug The flame-thrower in heavy tanks don't work. Every time i use it, i find myself unable to shoot no matter how hard i try.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Spawn on any heavy tank that has a flame-thrower.
What happens when the bug occurs? The weapon doesn't shoot.
Please select your region Other
In what game mode did the bug occur? Conquest
AMD or Nvidia Model Number
Enter RAM memory size in GB

When i use the flame-thrower in the heavy tank, it doesn't work. I tried all of the available solutions on the internet (holding the fire button for more than 10 seconds, re-spawning on a different tank, changing my class then re-spawn on the same tank, etc...), but non of them worked. Seeing other players using it, and being killed by one is really frustrating. However, i once read that i need to buy an air pump in order to be able to use the flame-thrower in a heavy tank, but i don't know where to find it.
And yes, i did unlock the heavy tank that has a flame-thrower!
P.S: the flame-thrower worked just fine only once, then it stopped working. and by the way, i noticed that when i'm occupying the fifth seat, for example, i find that number 6 is written next to my name. If i'm occupying the third seat, number 4 will be written next to my name, and so on. I hope that this little piece of information will help EA in fixing this bug.
PLEASE, HELP ME 😞

I TRIED CHANGING THE CONTROLLER AND IT DID WORK!

My old controller works just fine. I use the R2 button in firing weapons and it works just fine. It even works with other games such as Fifa17.

Just try playing with a different controller and check if it works or not.

Playing as a tanker, I used to use the third weapon on the list and the flame-thrower didn't work. Five minutes ago, i used the default weapon, changed my controller, spawned on a tank, changed my seat, and the flame thrower worked! I killed myself, changed my primary weapon (the tanker one), spawned on a tank, changed my seat, and still the flame thrower worked normally. I changed my controller and used the other one, it stopped working! Then i changed my controller back and used the new one, it worked again!

Just try my steps and tell me what you think.

    I had the same issue on PS4 and was corrected with a new controller. It seems that the ability for the L2 and R2 triggers to detect different pressures is the culprit. I'd have similar issues with sniper rifles and the boats too as they required a hard pull instead of any pressure.

    About how to find it, is you can click on "Costumize" on a Tank symbol in your Base. There you can change to the Loadout with the Flame thrower, if you did that what's need to be done to unlock it and then buy it with War Bonds!

    About your Bug, you'r sure that no enemy has desabled the Flame thrower weapon of this Tank where you was in? Because then you can't use the Flame thrower!

    If it's a Bug, best way to share it with DICE is via the Battlelog Forums. So feel free to post this issue there!

    I've already unlocked it. And i'm 100% sure that the weapon is not disabled.

    Anyways, thanks for your help mate.
