Its incredibly dated and clunky. Flight sim games are few and far between so I am usually willing to overlook a lot, but this is a bit too much. Move on.

There arent options for throttle, pitch, or roll, and I was hoping to use HOTAS. :( Beware if you have a joystick. The only movement controls are basically raise/lower elevation buttons and move foward, back, left, and right; might be good for a controller. Wasn't able to get into it 'cause I was disappointed about this.

Good game. I like it's fast-paced gameplay.

In fact, I think this is an exciting flight shooting game. The player doesn't need to avoid enemy radar detection. The only thing is how to avoid incoming missiles and destroy the enemy!

I really enjoyed this game from my youth, and when i got it i was happy to relive the experience, and it was not very great.
There is only one problem i have with the game, and it's a big one. I have a modest computer which should have no trouble running a game this old, and yet every 5-10 seconds there would be a frame rate stutter that would last around a second. Very annoying, and i do not know if it is my computer's problem or wether it is just not optimized... or something like that.

Actually there was one thing i didn't like about the gameplay. I get it, Comanche is a fast stealth helicopter with powerful weapons, and the game is not supposed to be very easy, but alot of the enemies (in later missions) all have these super powerful anti air missiles that takes just 3 seconds to lock onto you and not even the Flares will save you. but actually this is probably just my problem for wanting to go in guns blazing vs modern military force because it worked so well against Pirates with terrible weapons.

Aboslutely love this game, lots and lots of childhood memories right here. Easy controls, fun to fly around and destroy everything, can even turn on your team if you want to. Graphics aren't the greatest but what do you expect from a game this old? Classic. Great game.

Doesnt work for me says my graphics fails its test. (gtx 960)

It got old, and it was not so good back then.

I first played a demo of this game which came with a GeForce 4 graphics card. I thought it was fun back then in 2002 and I kept playing it occasionally even in 2008. Now, 13 years later, I remembered this thing existed and found full version of Comanche 4 on Steam.

Pros:
1. Militaristic feel to the game. Still somewhat immersive.
2. Explosions looking good.
3. Distant explosion sound travels across levels, that means you don't hear explosions instantly when they happen a mile away.
4. Elevation toggle control and stuff, pretty solid controls.
5. Diverse missions.

Cons:
1. Only few 4:3 resolution presets. No custom resolutions support, not even using .ini tweaking. This is fatal. I can stand dated graphics, but playing 4:3 on a relatively small 16:9 screen never feels good. I could use scaling though, but I doubt I can accept stretched visuals nowadays.
2. You can't see much beneath you and can't shot what you don't see (unless you've locked on a target, but you need to see it in order to lock on). This is not how helicopter cannons work, m8. They should point atleast 45 down, but in this game it's limited by tilt and vertical FOV. This forces you to fly on low altitudes which is not what I'd expect from a game like this.
3. All intense fighting equals "rapidly clicking right mouse button to lock on targets and shooting down the targets with the corresponding weapon".

Will I recommend this game? If you are OK with playing on 4:3 resolutions and not afraid of ♥♥♥♥ ripping hardcore missions, this might be waht you seek. Otherwise, it's a thumb down.
