The number of missions was more than doubled. The original four campaigns with 8 missions each were classified as 'Silver Missions' in the main menu, while the five new campaigns with 8 missions each were placed under the 'Gold Missions' section of the menu. Additionally a bonus campaign consisting of 6 missions was created by a former U.S. Army Liaison to Boeing Sikorsky, Major Allen Sakcriska[3] and were included under 'Special Operations' option in the menu. Overall Comanche 3 Gold features 78 missions in addition to the training missions[4]). Weather effects were added such as rain and snow. A mission editor was added and players can now choose their helicopter's loadout before each mission.[5] Comanche's wingman AI was improved and the player can now give orders to the wingman. New vehicles and structures were added, AC-130U Spectre Gunship, M167 20mm Vulcan AAA, HAMC (Eurocopter) Z-9A (China), electric power generators, different bridge structures, Mongolian rail yard among others.[6] NovaLogic matchmaking over the internet was introduced.

Reception

The result is a title that gamers will love, although hardcode flight-sim freaks may have some things to grumble about."[2]
