I haven't seen it outside events for some time now. Even in events, its been awhile. :frown:

I saw a train in one map. I was returning from a strat run and saw some rounds go past my bombers as I was flying NOE. So I turned the flight around saw the train and marked the spot on my map. Went back in a 190 (as I love killing trains) well long story short I looked all over a two grid section and no train.

Saw one the other day shooting up at some low cons but usually don't see them or the truck convoys much at all. The visibility for those items has always been kinda lack luster.

I don't believe any of the AH3 special event terrains have trains.

Trains, truck covos and barges at ports would be a nice return. When i first started hunting those down kept me busy and alive longer.

I don't know what map was used but it was a Germany vs USSR event and I talked my squadron to participating in I-16s so it seems likely it was an FSO. Apparently some 110s were tasked with shooting trains. I'm not sure if we were tasked with protecting trains or just shooting down German planes (likely the latter). Anyhow, there they were, below us. I shot down two and lived to make it back to base (minus an aileron). (The train, of course, went its merry way.) We had no allowable fresh mounts so I took off missing thar piece. :)

I remember an FSO frame long ago that involved killing a train. Long enough ago I was CO of the Damned SE Squad so that's been a long while. Want to say it was a secondary target. I'd taken screen shots of the station (ternimal technically) it came out of and the route it took, set up a patrol to find it, etc. Think we were in Typhs so made quick work of it.

I believe that was in AH2, one of Shifty's FSO's if I recall correctly.

The newer maps have trains..... 2 that I know of are Riftval and Northco...but I only see them up where the strats are all bunched on the maps....I think bustr remarked in the past that Hitech wanted trains and maybe convoys on all the new maps that were created....go out to a strat on a map and look for train tracks that would supply it...if ya don't see any tracks..chances are there are no trains on the map.
