After reading and re-reading the section on the SIK's, what a SIK IS is sort
of like a extension cable for a smartlink. Say youve got a LMG in the turret
of a vehicle. your going to fire it, and the SIK makes the connection between
where your sitting, (often in a passenger seat) and the LMG so that you get
the smart link benifits just like you were holding the weapon in your hand.
This benifit solely applys to manual gunnery, which is totaly different from
sensor gunnery.
