Single player career mode Ships, Trains or Tanks?

[Junkers188]

Hi, 

   I was wondering if anyone has found any ships, Moving trains or moving tanks in the single player career modes for 1 or all 3 Bos, Bom and Bok Careers. I have played many hours on all 3 and have purposely flown deep into enemy territory looking for  these items and have yet to find any. I have only found 1 train and it was stopped at a station. Before the 3000.1 upgrade I used to see them in the original versions of these games but, not since the upgrades. Is it possible that the ships and stuff didn't up load to my computer or do they just not have them in  the single player career mode anymore?  I always see that my AL squadron mates that flew the same missions with me show they have made Ship kills and tank kills after a mission but, I've never seen a single one. Any ideas?

        Thanks in advance.

Hey Junkers. I believe there are no moving ships and trains. Recently I did get a mission were I had to attack a tank column. I didn't get to fly the mission because my pc crashed. But by the description it would be the same setup as the moving truck convoys I think.

I play career on Hs-129 now, here Tanks a lot (as convoys)! ?

The career mode does not include ships or trains yet I think. I really hope they come in a later update. Train hunting was my favourite ground pounding mission in old Il2, with anti-shipping a close second. 

They really will need train-hunting missions for Bodenplatte, it was a huge part of the air campaign in northwest Europe, to the point where Allied pilots joked that being an engineer was the most dangerous job in Germany. They would apparently often buzz the locomotives before attacking to give the engineers time to bail out of the train before shooting it up.

I’ll have you covered there.

You’ll have to do what your flight leader says, but he’ll be on the case.

Thanks for everyone's help. I used to play the older version before the updates and I also loved finding a moving train. I just got pretty good had hitting them when the game changed. I guess they also did away with the level number on pilots I got up to level 20 but, I still don't think I am good enough to battle on line yet. Now, that you mention it I do remember coming across a few moving tank columns when I tried my hand at the HS-129 too.   I'm best with the JU88A so I tend to fly that more often. Can't wait till the BOB is fully released. I would love to see them do one with Night Fighters over Berlin 1944-45. I keep hoping they'll add at least a JU88C at some point as well.  Thanks again for all your help.

    Happy Holidays everyone,

There aren’t any transport aircraft flying behind the lines either.  It would be a good feature if the Mission Complete objective spawned distant aircraft and objects so you could go free hunting afterwards.
