Ahhh, but these are multi-purposed vehicles. The recon part is two-fold, to
provide a target for enemy gunners (ie, not aiming at the other troops) which
is frustrating to hit because it is too fast, driving the enemy to distraction
("I will kill that thing if it's the last thing I do!") whilst the good guys
sneak up from behind and slap them with a codfish. The other part is to find
out where the baddies are - fairly simple.
The medic part is also two-fold; to provide medic support for the good guys
(ie my troops) if they are winged, and to provide nasty ways for the baddies
to die (lethal injections, cooked using the portable X-Ray machine, donating
vital organs to needy good-guy troops - brains, hearts, etc). These medics are
higly trained in hand-to-hand combat, using blasters of course.
The fact that you need to divert energy to attempt to destry them means that
they have fulfilled their role, diverting your attention long enough for me to
deliver the killing blow. If a few of them (hang on, I've only got two... oh
well) get munched in the process, too bad. They're cheap to build, and in this
kind of warfare, where getting hit by something usually involves scattering
body parts over a large area, training to be a medic isn't that intensive.
Errrr... like every good Batman episode I've revealed my master plan whilst
placing you in an incredibly slow, easy to escape from toe-nail remover. Time
to think of something else. Ha... Ahaha... Ahahaha... Ahahahahahah <cough
cough>!!!!!!

Cross or cross-eyed? ;-)
