It's not a key binding or keyboard issue. I've check both of those. It happens even when I don't use the mouse wheel to zoom. And I tried the notepad thing and nothing happened. And it started right after one of the recent patches.

So I've been having this issue over the past couple weeks. Can't remember when it first came up(since I don't play gunships very often), but I want to say it was post Rise of the Emperor. When using the Quarrel/Mangler I have the slug as the primary and ion as secondary. So what happens is that I switch to the Ion. If I zoom in and then zoom out again, it automatically switches back to the slug. Others I have talked to are not having this issue. So I was curious if I was the only one, or if others were experiencing the same issue.

This mount shows "exceptional protection against being knocked off." before you unlock it. And after it's unlocked only shows excellent. Not sure which one it should be, but this discontinuity should be looked at.
