If EA doesn’t want to “KICK” people
maybe they could rename it “REDEPLOYED”. That probably sounds nicer and won’t hurt feelings. You’ve been redeployed to a new team 👍 (one that doesn’t wanna PTO) Also, why does my tank pull extreme...

We're not here to "help" uncooperative players PTFO we are here to PTFO. I can't say what I want about this because I'll get reprimanded, maybe banned. There is no better and direct way to promote PTFO then with the discipline of kick/ban. I don't want laze around players on my squad. What kind of nursery school is DICE trying to run here?
- @DaveTheBrave_USA Agreed.
I would not want a team mate camping on a hill behind lines in a tank or sniper doing his own thing, whilst the rest of us are trying to do objectives etc.- @Hudson1531

Absolutely right. In the past titles there always was the option to remove those non-PTFO players from your squad in the hope they get replaced with others that do try to win the game instead of doing the lone wolf thing. Basically the kick functionality IS promoting PTFO while not having it does not. Just because you can't kick those hillside campers will definitely NOT cause them to PTFO.
Another proof -- if ever one more was needed -- that Dice definitely does not understand their own game (most likely because those making the decisions do not actually play it and the dev that does has no say into the matter).
We can still do that now, but we have to create a completely new squad and have the other squad mates join this one then. Which works for us as we are in a clan and will always be communicating using TeamSpeak. So no problem for us and just a rather unnecessary inconvenience.
But for other players that don't play in a clan and that just found each other on the Battlefield, this coordination might not be that simple.I get why they haven't included a kick feature but I don't remember it being too bad in the past games, and I don't think it'd hurt tremendously if it was added.
Been kicked from many a squad in my time, like when there's a friend joining the squad or I'm playing terribly, but I just shrugged my shoulders and joining a new one or created my own. Had to kick people too of course, although I tried to only do that for the "request orders" spammers.
