I've been struggling with the Override Functions blocking Azuma.  I can get one done by myself, but often another one shows up, and when I have the first one down to 10% health, the second one wipes me out with awesome Howitzer attacks.  Anyone have any tips for overcoming these guys, or at least withstanding their Howitzers long enough to melee them down?

Any insight would be appreciated!

Generally I use MA with Sneak loaded and go under the platform where Azuma is.  I basically unsneak, move out from under there just enough so that one of the two guys up top see me, then run back under the platform.  They'll come to you one at a time that way and go to where you are.  Just stay under the platform as much as possible.  One at a time is much easier, two I need to use health pills and is a bit of a pain.

They are a bit of a pain. If you can't do the above suggestion by Villemar, another idea is to clear out the previous room with stairs. Then lure 1 of the Overrides back into that room and start smiting.  This way you're far enough.  I did the above with Nicks and Kreis.  Just be mindful about when the regular npcs respawn in that room.

Also, for anyone else reading, I noticed they are sensitive to weapons fire.  If you shoot a weapon nearby, the others will hear.  Silenced weapons get around that
