Rangefinding Exploit With AI Restrictions Enabled (Tank Crew MP)

[Pinguim]

Context: Tank Crew MP with AI gunner commands restricted by the server.

Current behavior: Commander attack orders are disabled. However, the 'report object to platoon` is enabled and returns instant, perfect rangefinding.

Expected behavior: With AI assists off, it's up for the players to do the rangefinding, so there's no command available that instantly returns perfect range.

Reproduction steps:
- take the commander position
- enable the commander marker and click on an enemy ground unit.
- choose 'report the object to platoon' command. it will give precise range whether it's SP or MP, with or without AI gunner restriction.

Why it matters: In multiplayer, this option deflates the importance of the authentic sight markings that are offered ingame, the skill involved in rangefinding (to which there are image guides even ingame), and dulls any kind of long-range gunnery duelling. It becomes more arcade than other arcade tank games. Not only that, such exploit is not evident, so new players won't be aware.

Proposed solution: Disabling the 'report object to platoon' command if the server disables AI gunner commands. I'm aware I'm just a player and I don't know how simple it actually is.
