Is this game about a Comanche helicopter or am I playing a drone simulator?

In the first "real" mission, after almost every fight, I am bound in some way to do something with a drone (which the Comanche can spawn in infinite ways). In most cases, I have to fly through some ventilation shafts and "hack" a panel. It's also immediately noticeable how "stupid" the AI behaves. In one case, you have to infiltrate a base with the drone to open a gate. However, the soldiers are already waiting for the drone in a kill corridor, but don't move an inch and behave as if they have no intelligence and can simply be eliminated. Even the soldier AI from Comanche 4 in 2001 (which was 23 years ago!) was better than this. They didn't even bother to give the copilot a full model, the poor guy only has an upper body, not even arms. I noticed that within 5 minutes in first person...

What also always pleased or interested me about Comanche was that destroyed vehicles, helicopters, boats etc. with their destroyed model were still present in the game world, here helicopters just explode and that's it. To come back to Comanche 4, even here it was the case in 2001 that destroyed boats / ships, even helicopters left oil stains in the water. In Comanche 2021, they sink and that's it.

Sorry, but the game is being returned. For me as a fan of the Comanche series, even 5€ is unfortunately still too much. It might be fun for some people that are just looking for a quick way to have fun, but for people like me, who have played the older titels this is not it..

Would be better if you could buy the old games on GoG without having to struggle to get the games to run on modern systems.
