Assault troop transport

The Assault troop transport (or assault troop crawler) is a second-generation troop crawler developed by General Shin Fai.
==Background==
Like the regular Troop Crawler, it is a reasonably fast wheeled APC, already coming with eight Mini-Gunners on board upon rolling out of the War Factory, with stealth detection. It has firing ports for the infantrymen inside, superior armor and a small propaganda tower to heal other friendlies.
==Upgrades==
	Subliminal messaging	Increases the effectiveness of the Assault troop crawler's speaker tower by 25%.	Purchasable at any Propaganda Center center for a cost of $500.
==Game unit==
===Strategy===
Although more expensive than its predecessor, the cost of the Assault Troop Transport covers the expense of the eight Mini-Gunners (as well as saving $400) and it is much better equipped for battle. If some of the Mini-Gunners were replaced by Tank Hunters the Assault Troop Transport would be well-equipped to take on all comers. In the event of the vehicle's destruction, its passengers would survive to fight on, albeit with reduced health.
Hijackers, in particular, are useless against Assault Troop Transports, as this variant retains the original's stealth detection, allowing units inside to eliminate them easily.
===Counters===
The Assault Troop Crawler has better armor than the regular Troop Crawler but is still quite poorly defended against heavy weapons, especially rockets.
A Nuke Cannon firing Neutron Shells can empty the entire vehicle and open it for capture. Jarmen Kell's Sniper Attack could also achieve it, but only removes the driver and must promptly eliminate all of its passengers before any of them occupy it again.
==Changelog==
*Zero Hour patch 1.03: 
** decreased heal rate to 2% (non-upgraded) and 4% (upgraded)
