In two years of Flying AH, I have seen a train less than a half dozen times.
Question1. Would it be possible to put up a schedule of when the trains are leaving and arriving at bases.
Question2. Now this would be lots of fun. Take a train with all flat beds. Load those flatbeds up with every gun like you have on the PT Boats.
Man the train with about 20 guys to man the guns. Go from point A to point B with guns blazing. Have 4-5 squads follow that puppy around and see who comes out on top. SOUNDS LIKE LOTS OF FUN TO ME!!!! :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

Trains are generally only used to supply the Strats and the length of track is such that they arrive every 10 minutes or so. Fly near a strat, find the track and follow it away from the strat and you'll come across a train every time.
Truck convoys are generally used to supply bases and follow the same basic rules. Barges can be used instead of trucks for bases along the shoreline.

Hmmm virtual train driver anyone? Drive train to raw material supply, pick up load, drive back. Man gun to pick off intruder. Resupply strat. ;)

we already have two perfectly good ways to bore yourself to death, flying c47's and driving m3's.

Back in the day, you DIDN'T want to find a train. The ack on those things was horrendous. Nothing like doing a cool NOE mission and running into a train... An entire mission killed....

Seems like the supply convoys should have some sort of defensive fire too.

When I make AvA-based terrains, I almost always use trains instead on convoys to resupply all the fields. That can be a fun or nasty surprise to people not used to the AvA. :devil

They are modeled after French made vehicles. I'm surprised they don't surrender after the first shot :lol

Trains supply factories and headquarters. Convoys supply fuel and ammo to the fields. Barges can be used to replace either train or convoy.
I believe they run every ten minutes, but I need to confirm that when I get to work.

All are on a 10 minute schedule. I have timed it.

I miss the 47mm ack on those trains like I miss an anal polyp.

You can set trains to resupply fields also. I have proof! :old:

Yes, you can manually set them anyway you like. The default is for truck/convoys to be used for fields and trains to be used for factories.
