OK, again to the nub of the rub of the issue.
Observer drones; pretty useless really.
Simliar as a number of other ideas.
Artillery vehicles: Semi guided rockets (MRLS style), or good old fashioned cannon.
Gunner either needs high HC reqs, but can clearly only shoot things he can see.
Or, droners can launch observer/scout drones from inside the vehicle, in the gunner position (not combat drones, that would be silly). Clearly the droner can then target things out of LOS of the vehicle.
To make sure it's not to obscenely powerful, all munitions are dumbfire, not homing, otherwise you could be bimbling along in the WL and suddenly you explode in a hail of squishy bits. Rounds land where the recticle is pointing (a bit like a barrel). Would be interesting for OP fights and hunting.
Range from drone to landing point: max 100m.
