SpicyMiG Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I would like to know if the RIO can be killed without the game considering the aircraft "dead". For example, if the RIO is killed by gunfire or some other means, but the pilot is fine, can the pilot be left RIO-less and still attempt to fight or flee? Or will death to either crew member just mean the aircraft is considered dead as a whole? Hopefully I'm making sense, this is not the most articulate article I've ever written.
Cobra847 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Yes. The RIO can die. It disables RIO functionality as expected :) Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

Jumbik Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Yes. The RIO can die. It disables RIO functionality as expected :) The rear seat will be blocked when he dies? Or are you able to "cheat" your way to the rear seat as a player and use Iceman while doing so?

Good question, but not sure it would make sense to allow for that.... you could probably reach some functions in the other seat in an A6... not F14... 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT

That's why I'm asking it. I would of course prefer the real deal thing where you are done and should return to the base if possible. :) Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc.
Random Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Is it only Jester that is killable? Or a player RIO too?
Jumbik Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Is it only Jester that is killable? Or a player RIO too? Especially in multiplayer. Just imagine that your RIO is killed, exits the game and then some random guy joins you, looks around and says "nice bullet holes you have here" :D Do, or do not, there is no try. -------------------------------------------------------- Sapphire Nitro+ Rx Vega 64, i7 4790K ... etc. etc.
Random Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Im imagining using Simple Radio for intercomm... suddenly getting no response from the backseat etc....

Lieuie Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I can already see people trying to kill their RIO once the Tomcat is out. I am fairly certain that someone will make a video at some point.
meloco Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Yes. The RIO can die. It disables RIO functionality as expected :) everytime you respond confirming a feature it makes me realise how good an investment this was !!

Random Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Now just to find someone who is a REALLY good shot. For science
Cake Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 I'm fairly sure we lock the rear seat if the RIO dies. Just an idea, but is it possible the RIO could be incapacitated, but not killed? 6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT
Cobra847 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Just an idea, but is it possible the RIO could be incapacitated, but not killed? IIRC, yes. Sorry- we implemented this in January at some point and I can't recall the specifics. Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
iRocco Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 If he dies, you should not be able to switch seats.
