Does the commander get his own name?

Or is Petrovich basically the other pilot besides you, no matter which seat?

 

I think it would be kind of cool if both of them had a different name, since they're getting 2 separate voice actors.

I think he's called "Petrovich" because its a default name for AI gunners in the Russian sim community.

Yeah, it's possible that "Petrovich" is just the name of the AI, so whichever pilot is controlled by the AI, he becomes Petrovich.

 

But I do think it would be cool to have Petrovich in the front, and someone else in the back, separate voice actors are already a great touch, might as well give the commander a name too

I'm pretty sure that you will be free to call your crew-mate whatever you want. "Petrovich" is just the nickname for the AI code, I seriously doubt that we will hear our character refer to the character by name, in-game.

Good point.   I'm pretty sure Jester doesn't say,  "Hey, I'm Jester... Bandit 6 o'clock"

True, though I'd kinda like him to have an "official" name, it gives it more character, you know?
