Radio Damage Modeling

[Fluf]

I've always thought that radio damage should be modeled such that when you take hits in the area of the plane's chasis that holds the radio equipment, you no longer can use the radio.  This would prevent people from making calls from chutes, etc., and would add the experience of being verbally isolated from
your flight by chance battle damage - at least until you RTB.

Of course RL pilots used hand signs at close range. And we could finally do something concrete about all that foul online language - just hunt down the perpetrator and shoot out his radio  .

I can see this in action:


"Delta6, CavemanJ, come in...."
5 minutes later... "Delta6, CavemanJ, come in...."
10 minutes later... "Delta6, CavemanJ, come in damn it!...."

"CavemanJ, Delta6, sorry I got hit. Had NORDO. Wanna up again? over..."

P.S.: NORDO = No radio.

Two words: Roger Wilco.

With RW failing too?  I can hear it now...

"Copy, this is Zi-<static>Zzzzzzz...shot down again by that fu<static>zzzz Torque with the mass furball of friendlies he flies in , I'm going to kill that <static>zzzzzzzz...then I'm <static>Zzzzzzzzz"

Someones would still find a way to bypass that, I'll be sure of that  

Roger Wilco 'cheating' is common in Rogue Spear like games where you can't talk to living ones after you're death (and they warn living ones about dangers that they see from the eyes of death people and where they got hit)

Of course idea would be very nice but easily bypassed unfortunately...
Though, Rogue Spear community is a *somewhat* more corrupted than Aces High community

Yeah, there are probably even guys that can find a way to play way past two weeks without even having an account.

Now where did I put the signal flag instruction booklet  

Didn't find it yet, but have found the Smoke Signalers Gov't pamphlet, "How to make a meaningful Fire".
