Hi Adam, I took my time and placed all available armored vehicles, helicopters and boats (vanilla) and tried to reproduce my issue.

If your player unit sits on the pilot seat of following helicopters,
you are able to fully use all kind of weapons of the remote controlled unit (switching through firemodes and shoot the weapons):

-AH-9 Pawnee
-PO-30 Orca

In following helicopters you will have following issues:

-WY-55 Hellcat - no firemode switch, but able to shoot your weapon
-WY-55 Hellcat (unarmed) - no firemode switch, not able to shoot your weapon

All the other helicopters pilot seats will not allow you to use the pistol, rifle or launcher and switch through the firemodes of the remote controlled unit.

If your player unit sits on the driver seat of following armored vehicles,
you are able to fully use all kind of weapons of the remote controlled unit (switching through firemodes and shoot the weapons):

-AFV-4 Gorgon
-AMV-7 Marshall
-MSE-3 Marid

All the other armored vehicles driver seats will not allow you to use the pistol, rifle or launcher and switch through the firemodes of the remote controlled unit.

Same with all the boats driver seats.

I tested everthing with version 1.42.129967 RC
