Something I've forgotten to mention is that from what I can remember, the graphics weren't extremely advanced; Comanche Gold is an example of the level of detail I'm thinking of. I'm also fairly sure there were floating powerups/ammo refills one could collect, which games like Comanche Gold seem to lack.

This is another one that has been sitting in my head and taunting me with basic memories but a forgotten name. In this game you pilot a helicopter, and there was one mission I could play (so it might've been a demo). The goal of this mission was to prevent the enemy from crossing a large body of water; there were gunboats/carriers in the water, and tanks on a long bridge suspended between two lands. As far as I can remember, when you start playing you'd spawn on the bridge with some sort of turret shooting at you. If you failed the mission (whether through being destroyed or otherwise the enemy winning), the camera would swivel or pan to show the object or occurrence that caused you to fail, such as a turret that destroyed you or gunboats/carriers reaching your shore. The game is pretty old, no later than 2007-2010 I think.
I've tried searching it up to no avail. I thought it would've been Comanche Gold
- in fact, it comes extremely close - but from checking it out it doesn't seem to match what I remember, so either it's not what I'm looking for or I'm missing something. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me what the name of this game was!
