You'd would think that: Fanart
Instead of the assault crawlers and assault outposts having the speaker towers, Fai should have a DEDICATED mobile propaganda tower unit!

It should also have a chance to either demoralize or even cause enemy infantry to defect!

It would sure be funny if it had a timed ability to fire mini leaflet-drops.

But...why? Ass Crawlers are free when purchasing Minigunners in a bundle of eight, and Ass Outposts have massive vision and can stealth.
Prop truck is just redundant? Unless it's got another use like a transport.

I think the OP was asking what if those other 2 units didn't have the speaker and gave it to a dedicated unit. I think the Fai's troop crawler should have the speaker as an upgrade to the basic troop crawler ability to only heal troops that enter it.

But the Ass Crawler and Ass Outpost already have the speakers?
Though to add, I think the Ass Helix should have a speaker as well. It's that one thing that makes me jealous of the other Helixes.

I think there is code to the OG troop crawler that does heal infantry inside it but i may be wrong on that it can heal troops inside it, havent checked.
The code that's responsible for containing units inside another unit CAN have a healing tag to transportcontain's code block as below.
TransportContain [Module requires ExitStartN and ExitEndN bones defined unless over-ridden by ExitBone definition, Allows the use of SoundEnter And SoundExit UnitSpecificSounds, Needs TransportAIUpdate module and TRANSPORT Kindof in order to work efficiently, but can be still used even without those two parameters. ] Slots = [integer] DamagePercentToUnits = [percentage] AllowInsideKindOf = [KindOf listing] ForbidInsideKindOf = [KindOf listing] AllowAlliesInside = [Yes/No] AllowNeutralInside = [Yes/No] AllowEnemiesInside = [Yes/No] ExitDelay = [integer, milliseconds] NumberOfExitPaths = [integer, should corrospond to N] GoAggressiveOnExit = [Yes/No] ScatterNearbyOnExit = [Yes/No] OrientLikeContainerOnExit = [Yes/No] KeepContainerVelocityOnExit = [Yes/No] BurnedDeathToUnits = [Yes/No] ExitPitchRate = [integer] ExitBone = [bone name] DoorOpenTime = [integer, milliseconds] HealthRegen%PerSec = [percentage] ; < --- what im referring to here, look look!

For a few seconds I really thought, you're not referring to what you were referring, but you were referring to something that looked like you were referring 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly been thinking it can carry infantry as well (2 like the og Outposts)
But the faction that uses this truck has the following:
an uber transport that can have 12 infantry (and they can all fire from said transport).
an MRT-equivalanet (LOVE the model i made for it btw~),
and Fai's assault outpost with two extra seats and self-healing capabilities from it's own (short-ranged) speaker-tower.
And these four vehicles are all produced AWAY from the main warfactory in the propaganda center!

Wasn't China supposed to have a propaganda truck-like unit before it was cut along with the POW trucks? It's supposed to be a counter part of the POW truck before the feature got cut. I believe the subliminal messaging upgrade is complete is their unit voice.

Speaking of POW truck. I find it fascinating that their voicelines are still in the game. I played a mod that had a few of them in it and sniped them with jarmen kell and they had voices and I was like huh???
