There's a much less bastard way of getting rid of unwanted gunners than teamkilling them. You take them to an enemy flag.......set the chopper down and tell them to jump out to help you cap..........then you take off without them.
Usually, however, if I have an inexperienced gunner, I'll give him a few opportunities to prove himself. If he shows that he's just worthless, I change my style of flying to more agressive so that I can actually get some kills with rockets.........rather than hovering steady, setting up my gunner for a perfect TV shot on a tank, and having him hit a building 100 feet away instead. He can stick along for the ride if he wants, but I'm not gonna waste time giving setting him up for TV shots that he'll send into oblivion.
I will say, however, a few night ago, I was playing with a friend on Smokescreen. We had out own squad, and we use TS to communicate and coordinate. We were using one of the Tiger choppers on the Euro side. But, when we died, and would go back to the heli pad..........there was some douche waiting there. Not only was he waiting there, contributing nothing to the team by standing around like a knob.........he would SHOOT AT US as we approached the helipad. My friend and I still managed to get into the chopper.......and then he'd bitch about "waiting our turn." Sorry, but my opinion is, just cause you are camping there on the helipad, and being useless to your team while others are off flying the chopper.......you have not EARNED you turn.
Well, this happens a few times, and my friend and I still end up with the chopper (guess we were better at holding down "E" than he was). Of course.......everytime he'd ALSO make sure that he got TKed when we took off, and would then punish.
But, it happens again......we go down......go back to the helipad.......there he is STILL WAITING. This has to have been 30 mins of him standing around like a dink, DOING NOTHING FOR THE TEAM, yet thinking he's earned his right to the chopper. Again, he fires at us as we approach. This time, however, I end up in the pilots seat, and this jerk ends up in the gunners seat.
At this point, with all the douchebaggery this guy has displayed, with shooting at us, forcing TKs and punishing.......and standing around all game..........I was not in the mood to forgive. I took the chopper up in the air, and started flipping it around in such a convoluted manner that if I bailed, and he switched to the pilot seat, he'd still not be able to avoid crashing. And that's exactly what I did.......I bailed and popped my chute. He crashed.....died........GOT NEGATIVE SUICIDE POINTS........and GOT SWITCHED TO THE OTHER TEAM. He ended the round in the negative, and frankly I think he deserved it.
