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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew "G" wrote in message news:38320686.C24EEC11@interact.net.au... > > > Andrew wrote: > > > Comanche software is written in Ada.
