Supple Idea

[skippy]

How about trains that transport supples and that can be destroyed. Have a rail system spiedered about each countries territory ect...complete with flak guns on some of the cars.  Maybe some have ammo  some fuel  ect...

trains were always the most visually spectacular to watch get hit by air attack.

I'm sure many fighter bombers would have a joygasm and go on a straff fest upon seeing these apear in AH  

[juzz]

Just how is this idea supple?

Joygasm?

Straff fest?!

LOL!!

[funked]

Trains!  Convoys!  Stuff to shoot at on the ground!

[Duckwing6]

yea .. we have factories, so there should "moving" supplies to the fields !

Trains, trucks, ships -> All that matters is MOVING!

Yes, Trains would add a lot to the gameplay.
Even as someone said, after I suggested this a while ago: "be to easy to blow up the tracks" and "Traintracks are hard to make"
If Train for supplies where added, there would be a whole lot of more strategic play into the game.

maybe if trains connecting all these new strat items at the City HQ factory level are hit for each train destroyed 1 min added to its destinations rebuild time

[Citabria]

say you hit a train at the top of the supply chain it ripples down in effect...

2 min at destination
1 min at destinations assigned supply destination etc.

all in all very cool way to give a connected feel to the whole works

imaginee a train yard to straff!!

JOYGASM!

[juzz]

Hmm, there would be one major problem. All the trigger-happy-joygasmic-train-wrecking-jabo-pilots would reduce the entire rail network (friendly AND enemy) to worthless scrap in a matter of minutes.

[Gh0stFT]

easy answer, just dont alow the rail-network
to be shoot down, only the Trains & Wagons.
And give the Trains massive Acks, this would
give all alot fun!

i think thats a good compromisse to reality/fun.

ah i forgott, it would be cool to man the
flak guns on Trains too!   just like the
Gunner positions.

the current ack gives me fits... I'd rather have a clean shot with only interuption from halftracks that are riding along on *light bulb goes on* flat cars!!!!!

yeah halftracks on flatcars with guns!!!!!

have a vehicle hanger depot right next to the train departure point! if the player wants they can ride along and try to protect the train.

hehhe

remember that Helicopter Game comanche? you could actually land the helocopter on a flat car and go for a ride! the train cars would actually sway back n forth to the sides a bit and was even a clickety clack dsound effect
