Re: Trainz!
 

It would be nice if you made it a "ambush" map. The Germans would have to blow up the tracks or a bridge before a long train with Russian armour passes it on it's way to uhm.. Kursk for example? Russian paratroopers would have to stop the Germans from blowing up the track.

Re: Trainz!
 

What is the map going to be of?

Re: Trainz!
 

hmmm, well I don't remember the story exactly but if you can't have the trains moving maybe have a train station where tigers are being unloaded? 2 spawnable tigers the rest for show on the train, with maybe a workable turrent. The goal is to destroy the train/capture the flag. of the train sation. in a small town I beleive.

Re: Trainz!
 

German armored trains were really the premier and most widely used of the armored trains. And the germans also had.. :deal: ..railguns...including the biggest gun ever made..I would litterally pass out and drown in my own saliva if they added "Dora" into this game....

Re: Trainz!
 

oh god Dora..... but what about Gustav? It holds the record of the biggest rail gun in exsistance, Suddam was building a bigger one in the first gulf war was destroyed before completion. was built between 1937 and 1942 (finished) Fired 7 ton amour peircing shellss and 5 ton high explosive shells. Class name is Kanone I beleive 80 CM calibre, length is about 43 meters with a barrel length of about 32.5 meters. Weighed about 1350 tons. It was seen in Lennigrad and fired about 50 shells. in combat 300 total. *has my book right here*

Edit: I should have clicked the link! lol. I am talking about the same gun. lol

Re: Trainz!
 

Yes, and it never fired at Leningrad. It fired 48 combat shots, look at the site.

Re: Trainz!
 

ah, my book says about 50, and was prepared for leningrad but Zittedele failed. it did fire them on the russian front. On June 5th of 42 to destory some costal fortresses. I think three books would help this team. Great Battles of WW2, Allied Weapons of WW2 and German Weapons of WW2. One gives great maps, the other two give you the normal weapons and special weapons of the war for both sides, air, naval and ground. I like the tiger page the best, and if they wanted to make a tank battle where the tiger can be destroyed in one shot in the front the Sherman Firefly could do it at 1750 meters, though the Tiger could destroy them at 1800 meters.

Re: Trainz!
 

There are several Normandy and Northwest Europe maps in the works so expect lots of tank battles.

Re: Trainz!
 

ah good, hmmm *looks up greatest tank battle in history*

Re: Trainz!
 

That would be Kursk.
