Yes, awesome tip. I would love to see it.Nexarius wrote:Maybe a flat wagoon where we could build stuff like turrent on.
Either gun turrets or laser turrets + accumulator.

a train in this case.Point-defence is the defence of a single object or a limited area, e.g. a ship, building or an airfield
So the idea/suggestion is "a short ranged defensive weapon system which enables trains to fight biters who are on the track physically blocking the train and biting it - in close quarters combat". It is not "allow trains to engage targets at ranges beyond that of other available weapons". A WWI railway gun (artillery on rail) was able to fire 27-36 km. Modern small artillery (M777 howitzer) has a range of 20-40km depending on shells used.Artillery is a class of large military weapons built to fire munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry's small arms. The only combat in which artillery is unable to take part in is close quarters combat.

I'd like to second the idea for a flatbed car to transport your smaller vehicles.FerMod wrote:That would be a good idea, a wagon to defend the train.

Vehicle flamethrower? Doesn't the tank have one already?PacifyerGrey wrote:Man I just want to see a train raining bullets and fire all around while it moves. This is already in the game basicly (with vehicle equipment slots) and should be added to vanilla. And vehicle flamethrower inside! Omg how I want this!
