Developer NUKKLEAR has released the August update for its helicopter shooter sim Comanche which adds brand new content to the game. The new update titled Update 3 adds a brand new single-player mission ‘Bank Job’ to the campaign where players have to lead an assault of ground forces with their Comanche attack helicopter.
In the latest mission, together with a whole IJTF Strike Force, the Comanche will witness a full offensive against the Kude Core’s last stronghold in the middle of the desert. Apart from the new mission addition, the main focus of this update is the helicopter controls. Players can now choose between ‘Arcade’ and ‘Simulator’ controls which differ drastically from each other. Depending on their skill level, players can easily opt for the mode that suits their gameplay.
With the new update, Thrustmaster HOTAS devices are now supported natively with the game and a third-person mode has also been added to the game. Check out the trailer detailing the new update for Comanche below:

The Singleplayer aspect of the game is currently under development and missions are being added to the game gradually.
