Unmanned Ground Vehicle (unarmed/armed)

I think it would be sweet if they decide to add this small UGV & UGV armed w/TOW or Hellfire or MK-19 or whatever they, dev, decide to add in WINSPMBT. Using an UGV in order to probe around without to using our “expensive” MBT, LAV or infantry/scout to probe around.

Our objective: minimizing casualties/maximizing battlefield intelligence/information. ;)

OPFOR will not know if they are spotted or not by UGV. If OPFOR see UAV fly by, they will know they are “spotted” right away

Not sure its doable with the current game engine. All vehicles need at least 1 crewman in order to operate or they start the scenario destroyed. The UAV is probably an exception due to it being aircraft but not sure.

UAV require crew 1 or fly in crashing as well. All units require crew 1 to be functional.

IIRC it was handwaved as the crew being the drone's computer.

Though as you'd want a UGV incorporating TI and good spotting ability it will become quite expernsive in the game as well.
I think a working approach might be to make it a late game arty spotter unit with small size.
