Title: Railroads
Post by: Raven3 on August 20, 2014, 10:58:07 AM: Where and on what occasions do you encounter railroads/trains in the game?

Thanks

Post by: Lusche on August 20, 2014, 11:12:02 AM: Trains resupply the factories. Fly to one and look out for the railroad, Ground Vis Mode (Shift-F4) may help with that. Trains run every 10 minutes.

Post by: Randy1 on August 20, 2014, 11:23:18 AM: Lusche is it practical to knock out all the trains?

If you could knock out all trains at the same time, would it have a significant effect on that country?

Post by: Lusche on August 20, 2014, 12:25:30 PM: Each train car destroyed (including engine) adds 0.7 minutes of downtime to all objects at that factory that are already destroyed.
In effect, you are significantly extending the factory downtime if you are able to block auto resupply by continually destroying the trains.

Post by: Babalonian on August 20, 2014, 03:22:43 PM: To add, idk how practical it would be since destroyed or successful trains will respawn every 10minutes on the track, but as lusche said if they're in need of resupply and you can stop the trains, you'll add a notable amount of downtime. Not enough to keep the down indefinitely, but enough to make the trains lucrative targets.

Watch out for their AAA, happy hunting.

In theory, you could almost triple the factory basic downtime of 180 minutes... that would require to start the moment the factory goes down and keep on doing it without break.

Stay below 3k AGL when attacking trains.

Live longer than you do attacking the factories directly, too.
