*WhatAnIdiot: Literally EVERY P.O.W VEHICLE PILOT EVER!!!! They are SO idiotic because their vehicles are sitting RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. They could literally just jump in their vehicle and wreak havoc on the objective area, BUT NO! They'd rather wait for a Battalion to show up and help them out! The only time this Trope is Averted is in the BWII mission "Incursion" Where the Solar empire is smart enough to seperate the Legion Gunships from their actual pilots. Other than that WHAT THE HELL!
