What the parent comment is describing appears to be downloading of data. Not a software update.
You’re not going to perform a software update after every single encounter with an enemy. You might upload/download data for analysis purposes, mission updates, etc. but you’re not going to actually update the software in such a situation.
I wouldn’t use the term software update to describe those things though.
Nah, after every bombing run I pull out the ol usb-c cord and hook up my fighter jet to my laptop for a firmware update.
I mean, you need to charge the battery so you might as well update it while you’re doing that.
Yeah, it’s so awkward when you run out of battery during a tactical maneuver and you have to fly through enemy air space to borrow a power bank.
How would you describe the upgrade of the software then?
What term would you use? I’m fairly certain software is the correct term. Firmware? Drivers?
