That would be a house rule, right?
I don't know the details of the tactics specialisations in WWII, that you
have mentioned, to say if it can be done with thoose rules.
AFAIK there is no official and universal AI racial package, and so it
would be a setting decision to state that they have a disad that gives in
certain situations a penality on tactics.
Yet an other direction to consider is that AIs and humans play different
roles in the same army. Like humans are infantry and AI's are tanks.
A lot of humans could die to take out one AI. I want people to shine.
If you assume analysis of pictures stays a computer weakness, humans may
stay valuable for scouting for instance.
Or humans in the command tent and AIs on the frontline. But then where
is the risk for PCs?
If jamming is very good, it might be difficult to transport much data
(such as many high resolution pictures) out of a combat zone, so humans
might need to be actually there.
