Armored train
- "Don't get overconfident. That train's got some wicked firepower."
- ― Marcus Lampert
Armored trains are trains outfitted with weaponry for use in defensive roles. Armored trains have made sporadic appearances in the Ace Combat series, starting with the Japanese version of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere.
History
Strangereal
During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, the Estovakian Army deployed several armored trains during the Battle of Bartolomeo Fortress.
The armored trains were set against Warlock Separate Battalion, taking positions on two large bridges to halt their advance. Their firepower prompted the ground units to request backup. However, they were subsequently destroyed by the Emmerian Air Force.[1]
In one version of the Intercorporate War, some science equipment was stolen from the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization. They scrambled the Special Armed Response Force to destroy the train that was carrying the equipment.[2]
Infinity universe
Armored trains were utilised in limited numbers by the USEA Federation during the UNF's Operation Eternal Liberation.[3]
