There are three roles a player can choose while playing Guns of Icarus. A player may change it at any time, provided they are not currently in a match. There currently is a glitch where you can back out of your match and switch between engineer and gunner and vice versa. So, if an issue occurs where your teammate leaves, you can fill their role.
The three available roles are largely identical in function and control, except for their tool loadout, which determines their specialization and playstyle. Any player- regardless of role- can gun, repair, or pilot as needed, and a crew will often be forced to quickly change tasks in order to adapt to the circumstances of battle.
The three classes are easily identifiable by their attire, the pilot wearing noble, expensive clothing, the engineer dressing more practically with pockets and safety equipment and the gunner wearing more battle-oriented armor often made from salvaged enemy wares.
