Changelog

NEW

• Added ability to start a votekick for squad leaders and commanders of your team via role/squad select menu

Press the Red X next to your Squad Leader or Commander to start a vote kick – All other eligible voters (Squad Mates / Team Mates) will then get a popup similar to the Team Kill Forgive/Punish screen where they can decide if the Squad Leader or Commander should be removed from their role.

This is just a first pass at the feature and improvements, including to the UI, will be coming in the future.
