OTOH remotely controled vehicles may be handled more aggressively in combat situations, doing things a crewed vehicle might not simply because the remote crews a$$ isn't out there hanging in the breeze and sometimes aggressive action is what tips the balance....or get you killed but if your ten miles back.....c'est la guerre ..... different story than actually being there....

Now imagine these being employed with dedicated armed Drone support.......that makes finding that control vehicle a top priority
