I guess some of us were a bit blind-sided by this, I certainly was but I'm not here to promote or critique it, I thought it was interesting in regards to the future of all the Nova stuff.
They've (Novalogic) always included this sub genre, as in commanche 4 etc. so if they (THQ Nordic) carry out the assurances from the CEO that he'd chosen the inheritors wisely and if they're true to form then a groud to air based shooter should be in the works as we speak.
Also notably, the game developers used for this project appear to have connections to real world drone software solutions. There is also a THQ game on Steam that uses real drone controllers.
And so the new Commanche game itself will have a drone escort etc, but this is not unlike the helo ai's already in delta force really.
