* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The use of the RAH-66 Commanche (when it was still under the LHX designation) and V-22 Osprey helicopters puts it as this. The Osprey wouldn't be adopted until 2007, seventeen years after the game came out, while the titular LHX was cancelled in 2004 due to excessive cost and the fact that drones could now perform one of its intended roles.

* DualModeUnit: The V-22 Osprey has helicopter and airplane controls, as it operates a tilt rotor system. The plane controls are difficult to maneuvre, as the game's controls are optimised for helicopters. It's best to line the chopper up in the direction you want to fly with helicopter controls and use airplane controls to fly straight, only changing direction in helicopter controls.
