Regarding Comanche: current system lacks full armament and various sensor
suites. When it's all said and done Comanche will be more s/w intensive then
F-22. Just wait and see. :-)
But as with all military programs it's the politicians who control what gets
done :-(

Armored First 3 I heard is terrible. Go to www.cdmag.com and check out the
Strategy forum. People don't like it. Since Comanche 4 also uses Voxel it
may be in the same boat. That would stink.
