That sounds a little.... extreme, for what amounts to an armored
sensory isolation booth. Rigging your drones from a dark, quite room on
a comfy bed would grant a (smaller) bonus, by that logic.
A samuria walking through the middle of a gunfight doesn't have
anything distracting him from THAT, but he doesn't get any faster....
