Some kind of setting conflict between airplanes and helicopters?

When you use a helicopter without any laser-guided pods, you cannot turn your laser on or off. Whether the laser is on depends on whether it was last able to be turned on or off. For example, when I use the MI-28NM, my laser stays on and cannot be turned off, because when I played the Su-30SM2 I had it turned on. When I use the Su-30SM2 again and turn the laser off, then the MI-28NM’s laser is off, and at this point I cannot turn it on. I’m quite sure this is an existing bug rather than just a display issue.
