Is it possible to add exp to the work trucks?

Have them gain so much exp when building structures after so much exp get honor bars likes the tanks and other weapons to where it helps them build better than a new one make a reason to try save trucks instead of them being deposable.

Interesting idea, I like it.
Moving back instead of forward
Seems to me absurd

Much like with the idea of giving defensive structures experience, how would we handle recycling truck experience? We probably wouldn't want experienced trucks to be recycled, and then the experience transferred to combat units, now would we?

In fact, even though trucks are unable to accumulate experience points and don't seem to get experience benefits, they can still carry experience. That is, if you recycle an experienced tank, then build a truck, then recycle the truck (even on the next level of the campaign), and then build a tank, the newly built tank will be experienced.

I don't think trucks are disposable. They have a price, after all.

I just think it would add a edge to it to where u can win not only with high level tanks but build a ton of defense with advance trucks then u could build some wall and turreents and bait others to it where the high level truck could repair turrents faster than the lower level tank could take it down.

Would be nice to have trucks get better experienced so they can build/repair/demolish faster. Also, check out Contingency mod (link in Shadow's sig above) which adds lots of truck upgrades.
