The Comanche Commander is the Tier 5 upgrade for Path 3 for the Heli Pilot in Bloons TD Battles 2. It permanently calls in 3 powerful mini-Comanche helicopters. All Comanche Commander helicopters, including the parent helicopter gain +2 damage for all dart attacks, 2 damage for mini-Comanches and 3 damage for main helicopter.
The mini helicopters will initially spawn under the main helicopter. Due to the mini helicopters being considered sub-towers, they do not receive Alchemist or Overclock buffs. The main helicopter's movement speed increases by 25%, now traveling at 50 units/second. Unlike its Bloons TD 6 counterpart, its mini Comanches have Normal damage type for its missiles, and the base Comanche does not have its missile attack anymore due to it being removed from MOAB Shove. It also deals 3 damage with its darts as opposed to 2. Darts from mini-Comanches are shot every 0.15s.

1.1.0
50k XP → 25k XP
1.5.0
No longer requires 25,000 XP to unlock. Players who have unlocked this upgrade before the update will not receive a full refund, as well as unlock all Tier 5 TowerName upgrades.
Comanche Defense and Comanche Commander are the least used tier 4 and 5 Heli Pilot upgrades respectively, plus Heli Pilot in general is not particularly known for being great at pure damage but plays a more supportive role with its abilities. Therefore, we felt like the Comanche upgrades were in need of a buff to be more on par with the top path.

3.2.4
Affected by MOAB Shove slowdown reduction to ZOMGs nerf
The mini comanche’s missiles have incredibly high pierce (100) but it would very rarely make use of it all due to such a small blast radius. This minor change should help it out a little bit, not increasing its DPS potential but allowing it to perform slightly better in a lot of scenarios.
