Armored Troop Trailer. Who gets the experience?

[Daddy Kon]

If you put a gun and cannon on the armored trailer, it won't shoot with nobody inside. If you put troops in it, the cannons start to operates. If I have 5 squads in it when it's getting kills with its guns, do all 5 squads get exp?


Thank you.

What I have noticed is that troops inside armored trailers don't seem to gain xp at all. It might be a visual bug that clears if they exit the trailer, it might not. I don't use them often so I don't really know for sure. (I think heavy turrets are a better call if you want stationary defences)

I agree about the heavy platforms. I was just wondering if you could mass train troops in the tailor.

yeah, was wondering the same thing. but im convinced that they dont get any xp at all because i checked the xp bar and it doesnt increase for any unit inside it.

Well that sucks.

Yeah, I also didn't notice their XP going up. There are some cases where XP bar does not update after kills, but in them it's only visual bug and it updates if you deselect and the select the squad. But this seems not to be the case for squads in trailer, which is real shame.

There's also some weird behaviour on plasma recoilles on the trailer - it rarely shoots vehicles on its own for some reason. Every other gun shoots normally and plasma recoilles works fine on other vehicles, but here its like 30% that it will shoot without order on vehicles in range.

After finishing all other mission except galveston i realised that i have been using the armored trailer very badly:)
It's supposed to hold ambush infantry like rpgs squads, snipers, heavy weapons, ENGINEERS or anything that can plant a bomb or mine.
With a Tow, rotary cannon and plasma heavy machinegun on the dozer it's a menace for everything that moves.
It carries 5000 ammo wich means it can move around the objectives and map to plant mines or occupy strong buildings.
Give it support from a plasma machinegun humve and howitzer light platform and it becomes capable to destroy anything except tanks.
Anyway, you can get really creative with it. It's also great to safe keep depleted squads or to use with squads that have smoke.
Imagine deploying smoke with the rangers and then deploying 2 infantry squads to capture a strong building.
The big downside is that i feel like every shot in the armored trailer magically always hits the wheels, it gets imobilised so often it's frustrating to move in some missions:)
