Within the past couple of version releases, we (or I) have lost the ability to cycle through targets using the TAB/"Left CTRL + TAB" keys.

Steps To Reproduce
- Fly a AH-99 as Gunner.
- Find some enemy vehicles
- Try to cycle through the targets using TAB/"Left CTRL + TAB" keys.
- Notice the keys act as if they do not perform any action.
Additional Information
I know these keys were working a month ago, or even up until two weeks ago.
- 't' and 'r' keys also do not work.
- Chaff/Countermeasure key/function no longer works when seated as gunner. See Bug #11737
Obviously, we've lost quite a few keys when the AH-99 is being piloted by the Gunner, or even when both seats are filled with pilots/gunners.

I also noticed, if a player maps the weapon cycle targets keys for jets to the same joystick button as the cycle targets key for helicopters, the cycle targets function or key mapping becomes dysfunctional when flying in the helicopter gunner seat.
For a pilot to use this function successfully within both the helicopter and jet for targeting, they likely need to assign a separate key or separate joystick button to the one or two cycle targets key mappings or functions within the weapons key mapping configuration menu!
It seems quite odd that there are separate keys for cycling targets within the key mapping configuration menu for jets and helicopters! Shouldn't these be combined, and utilized for all types of aircraft?
