I like having the trains as well. Was fun to go find them and bomb and strafe them.

Please bring back the trains

IIRC, the terrain designer chooses which type of re-supply each field gets.  So as the maps rotate, check for them.

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.

I believe I saw a train last week on an island. I forget the map name.

A couple days ago I saw and killed a train near factories on the OZKANSAS map.

I would like to see them resupply fields. Maybe they should resupply the large fields?
I think it would also be cool to be able to destroy the railroad bridges. It would add a bit of strategy to the game.

Just an opinion.

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.

Hunting trains with a P-38J in 20th FG markings was some of the best non-dogfighting fun I ever had in AH. Especially if you went low and clean, just strafed 'em. Quite fun and challenging, especially when they could shoot at you from inside a hill. :)

Ya know... i'd love to see more trains again so the 20th can actually pull primary secondary missions again. primary to escort and shoot up the trains while rtb in a 38 :t

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.

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%

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.  :)

+1  :aok   on trains running to towns.  I really enjoyed low-level train hunting and miss it alot.    Added variety to the game.
