Jester AI - damage model

[ET22RULZ]

Hi,

I'm wondering if Jester AI can be in any way or form damaged or destroyed (A2A/AAA fire, shrapnel etc.)? Can it experience G-LOC?

I think you meant to ask 'can the RIO be injured or incapacitated in any way?'

In which case - I don't know.. fairly sure it's been asked before, but I'm sorta doubtful that the DCS damage model allows for pilot injuries in the way a certain WW2 sim does. I just don't think that shrapnel is modelled to detect specific fragments and whether or not they would penetrate the cockpit.

Your copilot and door gunners in the Huey can be killed. They slump over in the seats and don’t shoot / aim their guns. Jester would be infinitely more complicated but I think the mechanics of it are there.

And so does the pilot. If you fly the Huey as the pilot and get killed, you have to continue flying as the copilot (provided he is still alive). Getting killed inside the cockpit is actually the number 1 reason I get shot down, as it often happens to me that I get shot dead in the cockpit, while the aircraft is still fine. It happened to me in other aircraft as well, although it's less likely to happen than it is in the Huey. So this would be possible for the Tomcat as well, if Heatblur decides to do so.
