You need to do your research before posting, this is like your second post about something that the game already has. Trains HAVE AA guns....

He's asking for the really really big howitzers on the rails................

With that quick, real explanation aside, our other new man Dragunov makes a valid point.  You gotta do some research, tell us why we need it.....  Even though the pictures are real pretty.

as much as it pains me to encourage him, I give this a big +1, I have always had some wierd spot in my heart for rail road guns, they are sort of like lamborghinis, they make alot of noise, they are cool to look at, not very effective at anything, inefficent, but very manly

Other than being able to shoot at Paris from 40 miles away they really didn't accomplish that much.

Granted there were some used in taking out the fixed defenses after the Germans came through the Ardennes. But they've pretty much proven that RR guns were a waste of resources. Man power, material, they'd of done much better to turn that steel into standard 105 or 155mm howitzers or mobile Arty.

The manpower it took to setup and fire the big RR Guns was way higher than the limited results they saw from their use.

do u want manable train guns? also it looks like most of those^ guns only move from up to down and slighlty sideways, easy to avoid.

Cool big guns on railroad cards, that go nowhere near any enemy base.  All rail road currently in game were to supply your own base/whatever.  So maybe wish also for a spawn point into eny bases.
