This is ultra annoying from day one.
Let us disable it. Nearly every time when i want revive someone unfortunately i swap my kit and this drives me crazy.
Please provide an option to disable it.

It's always been a Battlefield problem. Too many actions assigned to the same key.

Agree. Good post.

I dont understand why this swap is possible even when the downed player is not dead :D
But i would prefer to have an option to disable it completly or assign an extra key so this unwanted swap is not possible then......

Meanwhile FEW MONTHS PASSED AND NOTHING HAPPENED !
Give us finally the option to disable it.
Many times died unnecessary because of this stupid kit swap!
I just want to revive someone...geeeeezessss........ its that really so hard to implement a damn switch in the options or separate this function to a another keybind!?!?!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥..... DO IT

Please don't let dying troops drop their kit. Only dead ones.

They simply need to look at BF1. To change kit you need to hold R instead of pushing E

Seems to be ultra hard to implement some changes.....

Allowing a separate keybind would solve this and shouldn't be hard to implement either. This is just bad design at this point.
For whatever reason DICE love abandoning good, working mechanics of previous titles and then introducing them back after they've gotten enough negative feedback and player numbers start dropping.

FIX THAT ♥♥♥♥ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fakkn annoying so bind this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kit swap on another key !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How often we need to point it out. DO SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks to the consoles for this unnecessary double assignment of a button due to a lack of controller buttons
