« Games - Recoil / Level 4 Train

Before X-Bomber the Game is done, there needs to be a big train set created for the inside of the space fortress...
In Zipper's futuristic tank shooter: Recoil, there is a mysterious train in level 4.

It's very difficult to get a close look at it because it's faster than the player vehicle and can't be damaged by your weapons, requiring you to collapse a bridge in order to destroy it.
The train and each of the three carriages are armed with arc sabre weapons that rapidly drains your shield if you get anywhere near it.

The youtube playthrough videos weren't showing me what I wanted to see of it, so I used a save game to get really close to it to capture some screenshots; the BFT player vehicle getting destroyed in the process.

I also found that the game has an overhead view mode (press "G"), which was very useful for getting a top-down view on the train.
The VTOL aircraft that transports the BFT between missions looks better from above than it does from below.
