Mission Summary & Rapid Solution TL;DR EXECUTION

Do not chase the moving train. Lead the train by targeting Railway Chokepoint Waypoint 3 (18.50 km / 142.0° / 4 charges / 55.5° elevation). Fire 18 seconds before train arrival.

  • ✓ Track armored train speed and project railway waypoint intercept time
  • ✓ Target fixed Chokepoint Waypoint 3 with AP ammunition
  • ✓ Eliminate both heavy armored gun emplacements
  • ✓ Coordinate War Horn signal with friendly ground assault

Intercepting Moving Rail Targets

Attempting to track the armored train dynamically will result in missed shots due to turret traverse latency and projectile flight duration.

>Frequently Encountered Tactical Problems

Q1How do I lead the moving train?

Calculate the shell flight time (approx 18s at 18.5 km). Watch the train pass Waypoint 2 on the teleprinter ticker, wait the delta interval, and fire at the fixed Waypoint 3 track.
