last Train i saw was chugging along a 90 degree angle halfway up a mountain, got to a certain point then turned straight up the mountain and over the top , i heard this strange sound of "i think i can i think i can" as it crested the mountain

short answer is if you want to see trains you must go to the city where they are still supplying the strats within.

as far as I am aware HTC wants trains to be left for strats.

Thats a shame. the trains would be a nice touch if they ran to the towns

trains are definitely still there..... I went train hunting on the uterus map the other day in a T34....... took about 15 minutes to get to the train station where they spawn........hey when youre bored listening to bish whine and cry to HTC about gettin smacke around, what else is there to do

:)

they were running at 3 minute intervals on Sunday...... on Monday they were back to running at their normal 8 minute intervals..... found that to be a little odd..... wonder if that has something to do with the % the strats are down

New strats look pretty but suck for gameplay.  Just saying.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

when strats or bases are hurt, resupp runs happen faster. and yes, the new strats arent really the best in gameplay experience bald. agreed 100%

I miss the trains too :P

The random death from the flak on them was always fun too :P

Now I'm stuck shooting at convoys :/

I have never ever seen fields being supplied by trains on any MA map.  :headscratch:

Trains had been exclusively used to resupply factories. Our old factories are gone, so are the trains.

Good old LTARKilz. He showed me the finer points of GV farming with attacking the trains and strats.
 I would sit at the strat where train chugged in, in ostie with supplies, wait for train.
Train showed up, blew up. Wait ten minutes or so, rinse, repeat. Of course can only do so many before it got boring, but
still was a good way to get gv points.

Yeah, me and a couple friends used to smash strats with osties and M8s, and then camp the trains. Oh the memories.  :)
