Train Gunner
« on: September 30, 2013, 12:43:19 AM »
Somebody suggested something in the MA last night that I have never heard wished for before, but I like it.  Why not have a manned gun position or two on the train. 

People are always complaining about how they never get to see trains, and even if you go train hunting, they look so small from the air that you cant really get a good look at them.  If you try to land near them or take a gv near tracks, the autoack gets you (unless you go fly to your own strats and land near one).  So this would allow people to see the trains, and also be a way to defend them perhaps a little more effectively if you knew they were under attack. 

It is not something that would probably get used all that much perhaps, but it seems like it would be so easy to do that it wouldn't really take away from efforts elsewhere.

Anyway, I like trains, and gunning on one of those would be less boring than sitting in a field gun (I think I have made like 2 kill in field guns in all the time I have played AH (since 2001).

A minor wish, but I think it would be easy to do and very cool.

I agree DurrD. I will also add manned guns in towns, strats, and HQ.

If we have something to show we will & do post shots, if we have nothing new to show we don't.
