"reload" action is missing from vehicle keybinds

This was an issue in Battlefield 2042 at launch too. Some vehicles (such as the Attack Helicopter & IFV) have weapons with multi-shot magazines whose reload action can be triggered by a key. This key appears to be "R" by default, but cannot be changed because its entry is missing from the key bindings menu. Basically, this action is locked to R and cannot be changed right now.

This is a problem for me since I use R for something else. This has gotten me killed repeatedly while flying the Attack Helicopter before I realized what was happening. 

The keybinds menu for ground vehicle driver, heli pilot, and jet pilot appear to have an action called "Reload/Exit Vehicle(HOLD)". This is not the same thing, and is itself also useless as no sane player will ever use it - since using it means risking accidentally exit your vehicle. I don't know why this is even an option at all, but most importantly, this is not the simple "reload" action which is currently not listed at all under the keybinds menu.

Please add the reload action to the menu, so I can change it from "R" to something else.

Thanks

    same problem here, and i want to add that in the IFV and all vehicle in general  is exactly the same ; hard coding a keybind is not a good idea when ppl can t play with default setting

    I have the same problem. I keep pressing "R" out of reflex every time, which is really annoying.

    Noticed the same issue.
    ESDF Player here, wanted to rebind reload but it seems that it is hardcoded as R.
    In the settings there is only an option to rebind a combined Reload and Exit Vehicle(HOLD), but not Reload separately as it is for soldier keybinds.

  • Everyone' decent at DICE must"ve left cause new team their keeps inventing problems. Prime example giving us two exit vehicle keys and only half a reload vehicle key. Just give us a dedicated binding only for reloading the vehicle like every other battlefield I don't want to be jettisoned out of my vehicle cuz I tapped the reload button a hair too long and the game thinks I'm holding it. COME ON! COMMON SENSE
