The Ice 4 Should Be The Next Ice, Here's Why!

I also had the idea that maybe the summer release this year will be a loco pack. The Thameslink Class 700 was already announced for this summer and from the type of train, the ICE 4 would fit pretty well to the Class 700

 

We have a tilting EMU on Boston Sprinter thanks to the new Acela express, so this shouldn't be a huge problem

 

The Acela heads do not tilt. We have no tilting vehicle with a pantograph in the game yet.
But it is really not the problem. The tilt tech is some bit of math and some animation, nothing less or more. Only the setup for the train is bit different in terms of stacking the components onto the correct parents. A pantograph for example would then be parented to the bogies parent so it stays in the same line with them. The ICE-T has some weird extra tilting mechanism on the panto itself too. That might be a hard one to get running or the information how it moves exactly.

 

so it would be RMN, not SRM

 

the class 412 is a good suggestion, and required for KWG hence as said before it runs there so often, just represented by ICEs of the class 401 since the class 412 doesn't exist in TSW (yet?)

 

I want ICE all

 

I still hope the ICE 4 will be in this year's summer release

 

ТSW 4 and ICE 4

 

that's what I'm sayin'!

 

What's DTG planning to do this summer?

 

increasing prices decreasing quality increasing bugs decreasing length of new routes decreasing amount of new trains per route hahaha ok nvm

 

Honestly your right, even if I hate to say this, but things do get expensive here in TSW and for what cost? More quality, more details and also route length even including the community's wishes would balance everything. There are a lot things that would bring more life to TSW, it should just be done. At least just working together with the community would mean a lot to me, I would still love to see my home route, just like every bode does

 

if I recall correctly
TSW - 25€ per route DLC
TSW2 - 30€ per route DLC
TSW3 - 36€ per route DLC
it keeps increasing

 

man and I thought the 12 car ICE 1 would still be longer (technically 14 cars but the head cars don't really count as they don't have passenger seating areas )

 

Just to throw in some additional information, the 7 car formation which can also be coupled into a double formation with 14 cars, only has a top speed of 250 km/h, but the 12 car and 13 car formations (which are rather not coupled to double formations as they'd be too long for any station then) have a top speed of 265 km/h, which is just 15 km/h more, but still a bit faster.
I've also seen only the longer units when I was trainspotting in Montabaur (surprised that ICE 4 drive there at all, since they don't have an allowed vehicle top speed of 300 or more km/h), but no 7 car units, which makes sense somehow because they are possibly only for 250 km/h routes.
I do hope we get a longer unit, we could still (sorry console players) make mods for reduced length units, or an enhancement pack could do that like the ICE 1 enhancement pack, or DTG could just do it so everyone's happy but idk honestly

 

The 12 and 13 car trains are currently being upgraded to 265, but DB does not seem to be in a hurry there. Most units still are limited to 250, I have so far only seen a single ICE 4 that already has the upgrade.
