Railroad system

[octodecoy]

A railroad system on certain maps (mainly large maps) would work for any faction.  Could use the train cars to get on/off and have the train run on a timed loop.  It could also be destroyed.  Just an idea.

Honestly that sounds cool . Straetegic railroads could get troops to whrere they need to go and could be blown up

But its probably not going to be implemented b/c it changes core gameplay .

Idea like idea.

But have you ever seen railroad unit in CoH (not static object)? I don't know also that it is possible to put it to CoH engine. So right now it won't happen.

Would it be possible to re-skin..lets say a jeep..and link em on a set course.  the tracks could be added later.

[Pac-Fish]

I think that would be hard to animate . Also I dont think there is a train model yet and having 6 rifleman on one jeep looks.....weird?

[octodecoy]

It wouldn't have to be a jeep.  I guess I am just asking if it would be possible to link together multiple units on a path, with graphics for tracks added later. 
  Also, it wouldn't have to disrupt core gameplay, if it could be implemented in a future beta. would be nice to play with.

With scar it would be possible actually. I think Joint Ops used it once but not as a "transport".

[Mad hatters in jeans]

would be very interesting.
"get to the station the last train is about to leave and the enemy are approaching, aaaggghh tiger!"

The train thing could be a map function on a specific map. Like those maps that have other game-modes.
Won't work?

This would be intresting to see, I assume this train will be neutral? But may be took over by any faction and then used as troop transports along the rail?

please don't drift out to men of war... 

[Mass Killer DL]

Tbh I haven't played Men of War, it reminded me of a mission on C&C Generals

[Monos]

USA mission on Generals 
Would be cool to have a special train map

[Pac-Fish]

I think it might not be implemented. Like the mortar bunker on Minsk I never got to try . It was special bunker that was removed for those of you that don't know.

If this is implemented in EF, it will be on a new gametype, similar to Angoville challenge and not in any normal map.
