Usean continent has a history of completely unmanned full-sized combat aircraft with ZOE, and it has a degree of success even though they still can't defeat a human ace. It could be an improvement. A half unmanned aircraft. A human pilot still controls the plane, but the work of a WSO is taken over by an automated AI. With a skilled pilot, it could be devastating. It could be a downgrade as well. ZOE planes didn't have any pilot on them, so the planes can maneuver however they want without worrying about the pilot losing consciousness from excessive G. A half unmanned plane would still have to consider the human pilot, so their performance would be just on par with a full manned aircraft, maybe even no change at all.
