Its very annoying when you get to the reload point and you can't reload ur current mag, you have to fire all the rounds off to get that extra mag.

I would like a right click function or something to expend all the ammo in a mag. That would let you fully reload and not have annoying half reloaded mags

I never noticed really (barely ever play APCs though)

+1 shouldn't be too hard to do

It is very annoying...can't think of any unused buttons though for the gunner...pop smoke maybe?

cant it just be made so you can reload the current mag by pressing R, or am i misunderstanding the topic?

Unlike infantry weapons, in APC's/IFV's you cannot just reload the mag and lose the rounds in the current one. In these vehicles you must expend all the ammunition in the current mag before switching to the next one. As such they usually have to shoot off into the sky at the repair depot and expend the rest of the mag to ensure max ammo when returning to the battlefeild.

IMO, when pressing R, you should reload your main cannon, instead of the coaxial, as it is now.
