Trains and tanks discussion general

[inacio 4]

Someone on another forum suggested the addition of trains and, someone else, tanks (because I saw a tank the other day).

My opinion on trains: one train, server-wide, has to be repaired with obscenely expensive stuff, placing something down on the tracks (like fence wire maybe? I'm not sure if something could be made just for this purpose) would stop and break the train. Both the train repair parts and the train-stopping item should be really, really rare (maybe the train-stopping be even rarer so if someone fixes a train they won't stop every 100m).

My opinion on tanks: if there was a way to add one (officially) without ruining the whole balance of DayZ, it should be the most expensive thing to repair, and should despawn if not used for some time, to avoid it being hid away forever. Main cannon bullets should be so expensive you'd cry just to see one.

What do you guys think of trains and tanks on DayZ?

Seriously what purpose would this train serve? You want a vehicle to ferry people up and down the shore line that can easily be obstructed with wire fencing and causing it to break down? Why would anyone bother to assemble the parts for this if it can break so easily and in the first place why wouldn't people use the safer method of travel using their legs to run opposed to a moving, large, obvious target....

Tanks are officially in DayZ, they are INCREDIBLY rare and their components are some of the rarest to find on the map (barrel, tracks etc). All vehicles despawn upon a server restart (every 4-6 hours).

Fast travelling for organized groups. The point isn't having it be easily obstructed, not wire fence either, there should be a way but it can't be too easy or two hard.

I have been misinformed then. I only saw one tank, and people told me it must have been a spawned one.
