When squadrons of combat drones like these do become reality I doubt they will send in one helicopter to take them all out! The fact that Comanche 4 does shows its an arcade game and that its very unrealistic.
If my memory serves me correctly, propped drones are currently being used in combat. Better versions of them are currently in the process of being mass produced, due to the fact they are 'cheap' disposable weapons.
You don't run into standing padded steel girders or tires on the football field during a game... but you may push them down the field in practice to learn the best angle of attack, strengthen your legs and to learn to keep your feet moving without tripping over them. Whatever...
To you - an arcade game. To some flight sim fans... an engine extreme, that with more work, more sophisticated software and hardware..would mix well with the DF missions. To serious combatants able to separate themself from the rock'em -sock'em thrill ride... a way to study an opponents moves and his attitude.
Sorry, but I take the hardline here. Flirting with the idea that everything is 'in fun' doesn't sit well with me. I have fun playing Comanche... but the challenge isn't there. Besides, Comanche isn't really a good game to nurture a teamwork spirit. Fly in ...shoot'em up... who cares ? IMHO, that attitude stinks without serious debate about improvement.
But then, who care's ? It's just a video game.
