dumb idea: RC crewmembers

Stale

basically its a crewmember with lower heath and a computer model instead of a human model

they are smaller and easier to fit in places for the cost of instead of buffing firerate/reload speed/engine torq
they debuff it slightly while also allowing you to use bigger engines and bigger weapons

the hydrolic pump moddel would be for driver and the computer model would be for gunner (if you do it this way)

and the driver will make torq and rpm a bit worse but alow oyu to use large engines without a human driver

.

this will make it be worse than the human counterpart but it will be able to have more space for components and make it harder to kill crew

one rc driver : 15% reduction in rpm and torq
two rc drivers : 30% reduction in rpm and torq
ect

I think it could be improved further:
This would become the way to deal with RC vehicles, however:
1. still need jamming methods (unless we use a cable)
2. needs way more cons compared to existing crew: worse stats
3. look at the idea of having a potential control delay, like 0.1 second for all the inputs like engine, gun and such. or maybe have it dynamic, if we come up with radio communications.

Actually, maybe we should work on radio communication system, idk

Could always put engine and armament limitations
For example if using RC modules no weapons above 60mm except for missiles
And 200-300hp max

This was kinda what the driverless and gunnerless limitations were for
