Oh I forgot to mention there extremem importance when fighting someone with railroad gun stack.I was playing a match in HWW as Spain, and India had a stack of 4 railroad guns with 2 lvl 5 aa units, I tried attacking it with my own railroad guns and they stood no chance and producing a stack of rairoad guns was gonna be too expensive. My airforce was also getting ripped to shreds cuz of his high leveled aa. Besides Aircraft wasnt really my strategy at the time as I was fighting in Africa and building enough airstrips to be able to attack anywhere in Africa was way to expensive. Eventually what I had to do was gather some of my weaker units that were partially dead or just weak, like militia and I surrounded the railroads guns with it, at the time I had full control of Africa except two provinces the Rail Road guns were stationed in, so surrounding them was pretty easy. I then moved all of the surrounding units in at the same time, delayed them to arrive at the same time and waited for his guns to start firing on the ground units, and timed my Paratroopers to attack, I had about 6 lvl 2 paratroopers, they suffered heavy losses due to the aa, but then caused the railroad guns to attack at close range which allowed my ground units to continue advancing. Eventually the Railroad guns were destroyed, 2 paratroopers survived, and some of the ground units.
