Summary

0004514: Apache AI gunner doesn't switch back to gun after to laser Hellfires being selected

Description

While playing some missions like Dynamic Combat Ops on single player mode with the Apache (player as pilot and gunner AI) and ordering the AI gunner to change/cycle weapons which happens on this order:

Gun (default weapon) -> Laser Designator -> Radar Hellfires -> Laser Hellfires

and when the Laser Hellfires are selected and after ordering the AI to (again) change weapon, it won't change back to the Gun.

My current "fix" is to select "manual fire" and manually change the weapons, in where a strange thing happens:
- When selecting "AGM-114K LOAL-LO" and "AGM-114K LOAL-HI" modes there's no missile available (while there's indeed missiles loaded on the helicopter) and the player must press the reload key ("R" by default) in order to have missiles available for both LOAL-LO and LOAL-HI for the Laser Hellfire. I don't know if this issue is related to what I'm reporting here but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Initially I though that this issue could be related with the mission itself but then I tried to play this same mission in multiplayer (creating a LAN server on my PC) and then I had none of the problems described above.
This mission can be player either in single player or in multiplayer but again, in multiplayer mode it doesn't have the reported problem.

Steps To Reproduce

1- Download the "Dynamic Combat Ops" mission. Here's the mission version on Altis Map:

2- Play the mission above in single player mode. When setting the mission Select the player's faction, a faction what has the Apache like for example "USA (Army-D)" and the Squad Vehicle as the "AH-64D".
All other settings shouldn't be important so select as you wish.

3- Once on the mission, board the AH-64 as a pilot and place an AI in the gunner's position. Takeoff and order the AI to change weapons. It shouldn't be able to select from "Laser Hellfire" to the "Gun".

4- Play the same mission with the same setting in multiplayer mode - for example create a LAN server on your machine and repeat the steps above. The related problem shouldn't be present.
