What's this we stuff Nico

Funny he asks for the stuff to get made and I get to do the e-file

Only kidding a flak train would be awesome

Actuully what would be awesome is different armored trains for the major powers. They could keep the same stats, but at least have different icons just for eye candy.

(IE: T-34 and or KV-1 for the commies. A flatcar w/ .88 on it for the nazis..etc)


Speaking of the e-file .I will be starting the e-file it tonight,have to get the honey-do list out the way

Actually the Vanilla train in the game could be easily modified with Flak turrets, Panther or PzIV turrets, whatever. And the same for a Soviet train with tank turrets. In the case of the Germans, they mostly used the captured equipment turrets to put on armored trains and not the more valuable Panther or PzIv turrets, but not always. Cannot imagine a more devastating defensive factor against infantry assualts than a 2cm Flak Vierling on a Panzer Zug. And to carry this even a further step, the Germans usually kept an armored box car with a light tank (again usually captured) for deployment in the field around the train's perimeter and in anti-partisan duties. The train could take troops and armor into the areas that had no roads and easily deploy them.

YES, a FLAK train would be awesome. BTW, Hitler's private armored train was named "America".
