Vehicle Reload/Exit button mapping is bugged

The mapping functionality of the vehicle Reload/Exit controls are bugged.  (XBOX controls used as example)

BACKGROUND: In previous titles, a player would TAP the X button to RELOAD a vehicles weapons (driver/pilot/gunner) or their personal weapon (passenger), and HOLD X to EXIT the vehicle.  NOTE:  This was not an issue in the open beta, only in the release version of BF6.

ISSUE/PROBLEM/BUG:  In THE CURRENT BUILD OF BF6, this mapping is REVERSED.  While playing, TAPPING X causes the player to EXIT the vehicle, and HOLDING X reloads.  NOTE: The in-game button mapping description (attached) displays the CORRECT/EXPECTED behavior, but when playing the game the button mapping is reversed.  There is currently no way for a player to correct this themselves in the mapping menus.
  This issue happens with all vehicle types and all vehicles.

WHY IS THIS BAD:  Players from previous titles experience unexpected behavior when using vehicles, which can result is exiting aircraft unexpectedly while trying to reload the weapons.  EXAMPLE: While in the gunners seat of the attack helicopter, TAPPING X to reload results in EXITING the helicopter.  Players who examine the in-game mapping will be further confused because the description does not match the behavior.  This is especially troubling for veteran players of previous BF titles who have built up 10+ years of muscle memory.

  • I can't stand why they they combined two completely opposite actions in one key binding but they also have a separate key binding for also exit enter so why did they have to include exit vehicle with reload makes no sense
