Hello everyone, I'd like to put forward the ICE 4 (Baureihe 412) as a suggestion for Train Sim World 6. This train is not just a modern icon of German rail travel, but also a fascinating and flexible high-speed train that would be a great addition to the game. The ICE 4 has been in regular service since 2017 and is the backbone of Deutsche Bahn's long-distance fleet, gradually replacing older Intercity and ICE 1 trains. One of its most interesting features is its modular design, which allows for different train configurations to meet various capacity needs. There are three main versions of the ICE 4 in operation: 7-car trainset (Class 412.2): This shorter version has a top speed of 250 km/h and is used on routes with lower passenger demand. 12-car trainset (Class 412.0): With a top speed of 265 km/h, this is the most common variant, offering a high number of seats for busy main lines. 13-car trainset (Class 412.4): Known as the "XXL-ICE," this is the longest version, also with a top speed of 265 km/h, providing the highest seating capacity for the most-traveled routes. What makes the ICE 4 particularly interesting for a game like Train Sim World is its international capability. The train is certified to operate in Switzerland, running on routes that connect Germany to cities like Zurich and Interlaken. This would not only add a new, highly detailed train but could also open up the possibility of creating a cross-border route, adding even more variety and a unique gameplay experience.
