Votekick for inactivity

This has been a growing problem playing Axis in Tunisia lately- tank slots are getting hogged by some kiddy in an AB-41 that’s either hiding in the back of the spawn doing nothing, or driving around in circles in the back of the spawn doing nothing. Either way they’re hogging a vehicle slot and being a detriment to their team.

To solve this, we would need 3 things:

  1. a system for identifying teammates so we know who’s causing problems
  2. the votekick system to be expanded to public battles
  3. a safety system to prevent groups of players from wrongfully votekicking someone just because they wanted a slot or wanted to troll.

My suggestion for #3 is for votekicking to only be possible against a player who’s spent a certain amount of time since their last death in the greyzone (wouldn’t need to be consecutive, just total time), or if they’re in a plane, if they’ve gone a certain amount of time without getting any points.

Only teammates should be able to votekick teammates.

Thoughts?

Then in RS2, votekick system is extreme toxic.

Yes, for similar reasons: I played a match in Tunisia on the allies side once, and some cu** made his mission to build RP with barbed wire all over. It then waited for allies to spawn with his flamethrower, spawnkilled the whole match. Obviously it was an axis main pissed that the player base was all in Normandy.

Point is: the report system is absolutely worthless, as the whole team reported it and the tiny di*** dumbass didn’t get kicked. We would have greatly benefited from a vote kick feature this match.

Maybe 2 separate requirements then, so that even if someone isn’t inactive, a very high number of votes will kick anyone.

That needs be REALLY high number so it wont be abused.

I bet whole opposing team want vote kick enemy tankers/pilots that are constantly bombarding them, mean while some teammates might also want kick those players so they can use planes/tanks themself and do exactly same farming

I put in the OP that you should only be able to votekick your own teammates.

Likely AFK, Base XP is earned just from time spent in game. If that tanker squad is fully upgraded it might be a decent amount for being AFK while watching YT videos or whatever because the entire crews earns XP for time in Battle.
Lol, maybe block him with hedgehogs, then after a few minutes, he might possibly be kicked by the game for inactibity.

By upgraded I mean rank….and yes, troops earn base xp from just time in the battle, even if they have zero score.
