  1. Honestly manless turrets are just a bad idea personally. You have no backup to operate the primary weapons in case to remote systems go offline for whatever reason. T14's biggest issue is it has s remote turret but all the cameras to operate it are exposed... very exposed. Meaning even gunfire could disable the T14's ability to use it's primary weapons. Most crewed turreted tanks have backups to the electronic suites inside them. Manual controls, old glass/mirror optics etc etc. If one system fails the tank doesn't become useless.
