Description

Everytime the team-leader/squad-leader die and respawn he loose his status as being the leader. This status is passed on to the next in command.

If the player being the new commander dies and respawn then the teamleader often get his title as teamleader back, and regain control of his team. ( but not always ).

I/we also belive the above often make the modules like artellery module stop working since the arma3 do not understand what happen when the team leader function are given to someone els while the teamleader is "respawning".

I experienced this bug alot of times while playing in my clan.

Steps To Reproduce

Make any mission that have respawn.
I belive you need to try this with at least 2 real players and the rest of the squad being AI players. Or even better make 3-4 people play a mission together and then kill the team leader and see what happen when he respawn.

But you can also do the following.

Insert 1 group of soldiers and then try to play the game on a server where you choose to be the leader.

Now run 100m and throw a grenade inbetween your 2 feet, and die.
Once you respawn you should have lost your team leader status and can no longer command your team.

Try to kill the secound in command and see if you regain control of your squad, sometimes the command of the squad are passed on to others before you the player get the command option back.
