Small issues that bother you?

1. Whenever I'm playing a specific class, then leave the server at the end of round, or for whatever reason, in the next match my selected class is different, if I join an in-progress match, which has caused me to accidentally pick a class I didn't mean to play.
2. Custom colors in the video section aren't saved if you back out of the color wheel, you just get stuck with whatever you landed on last.
3. Loading in a new round while customizing a weapon backs you out of that menu even if you still can't play yet, then again when the match officially starts, if you opened the customization menu again. Also doesn't save any changes when doing so.
4. Not being able to customize which gadget button selects which gadget. Since BF4, maybe BF3, my right D-Pad has been offensive gadgets and left D-Pad the teamplay ones. This is no longer the case and gets me killed a lot, because my thumb naturally goes for the right in combat situations as it's easier to reach.
5. Grand Operations matches come up when searching Conquest in the Server Browser.
6. You can't check class progression in the customization phase before a round even though the button prompt is onscreen.
7. Early class progression has several weapons and/or assignments given out, but none of the melee weapons or sidearms are unique, so leveling up all the classes means for 3/4 classes every other rank above 11 is pointless (as those ranks give only a single item), and just gives you a duplicate weapon in the menu for a while.
I realize Battlefield V has some far more pressing issues to iron out first, but everyone talks about those and I browse this forum a lot and AFAIK no one is talking about these small things that would be a huge QoL improvements if they were addressed. Anyone else have small complaints?

Why can't we just step over these people it's soooo annoying.
That and the hammer coming out when I try to use gadgets.
Some maps are really hard to navigate over, and then the jumping / vaulting is hit and miss too.
Then if you're prone with a bipod the gun doesn't pivot on the bipod but back at your waist so it pans over the rubble knocking you out of ADS.
There's so much terrain that's a pain to get over, like all the little pre-made trenches. Look nice, offer a small bit of cover, but trying to run or vault out normally means getting killed, because you just get stuck.
And the steep right side, at the end of the bridge, of the B flag on Narvik is impossible to run up and you have to make a wide loop around to where it's less steep, leaving you in plain sight of enemies looking down the bridge. Gets me killed at least once a match on Narvik.
The thing about the sidearms and melee weapons did always seem a little odd to me as well. I would like to see some unique class-specific secondaries - perhaps Assault could get a sawn-off shotgun (might be too OP idk), Recon could get a suppressed pistol which doesn't show where you're being damaged from on the damage indicator etc. But whether that would be appropriate I don't know.
Number 3 annoys me as well - there's two different times which this happens, and it's annoying. Just put a thing at the top of the screen saying when the match starts.
A new level cap is coming, presumably with some extra rewards as well. Hopefully they make it so it's actually reasonably difficult to attain max rank, and take into account how much xp people already have over the level 50 mark - presumably the xp tracks and will reward you extra ranks when they increase the cap.
Trying to customise your loadout during set up phase will drag you out of the customisation menu when the countdown begins. Then it does it again when the countdown reaches 0.
Can't customise vehicles/aircraft in game unless a vehicle/aircraft is available to spawn. More annoying since this very issue was fixed in Battlefield 1 and was never an issue prior to BF1.
Tanks don't turn on the spot. They pivot.
Calling in a squad reinforcement vehicle requires you to cost your team a ticket in order to use it.
Can't call in squad reinforcements from inside a vehicle.
Firing your weapon doesn't stop animations.
It's the little things. 🙄
The way the **** animation of the Enfield moves the rifle away from eye line.
You get the feeling that your avatar is checking with the drill sergeant to make sure their first time operating the launcher goes by the numbers, every use?
All BF games I've played I get the feeling that the soldiers would need to consult the operating manual every time they needed to use the toaster.
Having to leave the server to claim an unlock.
Having to wait a round to use a new unlocked gun.
Having to leave the game to change assignments.
Having to go through 5 menus and different screens to change anything.
Not able to fully customize loadout.
Not able to adjust magnification of scopes.
Not able to apply any paint to any part of a gun. Certain paints are tied to certain parts.
Latency when aiming in tanks.

* Number one pet hate atm. I Die, the respawn timer counts down- 5, 4, 3, 2, - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....... essentially a 15 sec timer which happens randomly
*Revive timer sometimes disappears all together whilst holding the wait for revive button. This not being attributed to any burning out, explosions or debris around me. Just randomly happens.
* My squad mate keeps getting errors when trying to join squad or game. Near impossible to just join squad and just get into game. Another gets black screened at the end of EVERY round and forced to restart game.
* Unable to change assignments in game. This is a PITA having to leave a game to change or update an assignments. Especially with the issues my squad mates seem to have rejoining squads or games as mentioned above.
* The UI, it is gawd awful. Unlock new camo, go into weapon, select customize. Page loads. Slight screen freeze, list populates. go down to new unlocked camo. Screen freeze, list repopulates. Go down list again, select camo, screen freeze, list populates. New camo was not equipped. Go back down and reselect, screen freeze. Camo finally selected.
* In addition to the one above, Unlock new scope. Go into weapon, select sights, shows Muzzle page. Exit, select sights, shows Muzzle. Exit, select sights, finally directed to sights page. It takes 3 attempts just to get to the right 'page' then go through the above scenario with selecting camos. OMFG !! It couldn't possibly be made any more frustrating.
FWIW this is on PS4.
Dice fixes a lot of things in their patches, but the list of issues is so long, that many players probably will leave BFV before (if) it becomes a good game, it just gets too frustrating to play. I personally (mostly) like the new direction of the game, but the general quality of the game is just so low that I just don't play the game very much anymore.
