Auto-select first weapon type with ammo loaded or available of a weapon

[michelguenette]

I have outfitted tanks with equipment and loaded the machine gun with piercing ammo. I did not have shells or flamethrower ammo. I drove off to explore, but forgot to change the selected weapon, because it defaults to the first slot, even though it is empty. When I got into trouble by getting too close to biter bases, I tried to shoot my machine gun, but it was not selected. I panicked. I entered the map view. I exited that view. Changed the weapon, but it was too late. I was overrun. The tank was destroyed and my character was killed.

The new 'grab fuel from the character upon entering a vehicle' is nice. This automates a step that was always manual before 2.1.x.

Can we assume that the character will automatically select a weapon with ammo loaded, instead of staying locked on a slot that is empty, upon entering the vehicle?
