Which would've meant a lot more if we saw literally any Huntsmen that weren't Beacon staff or Drunkie McIredeemable. My point is that if the Atlesian army hadn't been there things would've been far worse. Sure there wouldn't have been killer robots, but there also would've been a fraction of the number of blaster bolts flying at the Grimm.

The proponent that the fleet made people uneasy is irrelevant btw, considering that the breach was ultimately caused by the disgust, fear, and panic caused by the Tournament accidents. So yeah, we could've had way less people and ships on hand to ferry people down from the Vytal Collesium, resulting in dozens of deaths from the released Grimm, because the number of Huntsmen and their locations wouldn't have changed. Were there, though? Those "blaster bolts" were turned on the citizenry at a pretty rapid pace, the transports would have been there regardless for the festival, hell the WF was partially able to get as many Grimm filled transports in the area because so much permanent air traffic was in the sky, likely the only part of the fleet in general that helped was the WF base clean-up crew that was miles away on a wild goosechase. The robots were shut down eventually and therefore not actually helping... just not killing anymore.

Atlas didn't have a large amount of man-power assisted by robots... they had an assault force of robots assisted by manpower. Saying they were helpful at all is like saying that nuke you brought was helpful after it was detonated by the largest terrorist assault force you've ever seen in one place at a base near suburbia because it killed most of terrorists along with your forces and the innocents.
