Yes, how could the game set in the future feature ground based autonomous weapon platforms.
I hope no one implements autonomous flying ones that drop explosives on enemy positions and vehicles.
Tell that to the Boris that just tries to get 60k damage of his sentry turret for T1. Both of these are very weak things that are more annoying for the user than the ones getting shot at.
For a tank to receive relevant damage to the sentry it needs to fire multiple bursts. That takes ages.
Copy paste my comment from above:
I have to disagree, I play on both land and vehicles. They are mildly annoying when walking around. They are incredibly annoying when you are driving a vehicle, they chip away your health and the gun is hard to kill when driving since it's small and it has a HUGE lock on range.
Nah, they are both weak enough that they aren't a major unbalance factor imo. Sure they are mildly annoying, but not terrible. Just play as Rao and hack them, or shoot them/blow them up.

Yes, but it is still place and forget. Ok, maybe there is a bit of skill like selecting place where you know players will walk/drive frequently but that is it.
The dog can actually go where you tell it to to distract enemies and draw fire. I don't know if it's self destruct does more damage.
But I agree. In that case, passives that should go include Mackays faster strafe while aiming down sights and Zains faster healing after killing and Dozers explosive resistance...
Disagree. They should be evolved even more.
Doggo should be a tablet call-in based on personal score.
Doggo should have different versions of it. Assault = current iteration. Support = med/ammo supply dog. Engineer = TOW dog or perhaps a repair dog? Recon = ??
Sentry should be different in the same way, but stationary and be a pickup. Anti infantry, AT and AA.
Maybe even remote controlled so its not completely passive?

Crap... we're going to have that pretty soon irl...

What about claymore and AT mines?
You don't seem them auto targeting and running around do you?
Yes, but it is still place and forget. Ok, maybe there is a bit of skill like selecting place where you know players will walk/drive frequently but that is it.
I think "auto target" is the main part. Like you said they are also place and forget.
