I have read ww2 pilot accounts recalling that attacking trains could be very dangerous. When making low strafing passes, if the boiler blew while a pilot was within a couple of hundred feet it could well be the end of him.

HT when that boiler blows make it REALLY blow! +)

Munitions were also an issue. I wonder if these twists will be modeled. Blow up a boxcar or engine too low and have the occasional 1,000 pounder-style explosion go off and ruin your day. It would be interesting

Maybe when they put in the blast radius for the bombs, they do the same with building when they're distroyed.. only certian ones.

secondary explosions in ammo dumps, fuel tanks, train cars, ships, and some buildings would be cool.

Some trains also had flak cars.
Wonder if HTC models an AI or human controlled flak car on the train.

And you could also mount a 50 cal on them.

S!

The Quad 20mm and single 37mm's mounted on the Flak cars were more of a concern I think....
