Pluto,

You need to include Airdefence AI, see FG28_Kodiak post

Additional you need a Airdefence AI, so your Searchlight will get active if enemy planes are near.
Sample Mission added.

AA in train - manual method:

In FMB select any train - ie the first of list show bellow - define waypoints, etc.



Save mission, ie. TrainAA

Go to C:\Users\User\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\Single

And open TrainAA.mis file with notepad, an look in these lines:

[Chiefs]
0_Chief Train.57xx_0-6-0PT gb <<< train select in FMB
[0_Chief_Road]
S 2119 17 0.57 5.00 P 77708.77 181632.91 0 2 11.11 <<< waypoints
S 2119 11 0.17 5.00 P 76609.93 181532.02
[Stationary]

Change - in [Chiefs] the select train to one with open wagons - you see wagons only in FMB 3D mode, not in Select Objets windows. ie: 0_Chief Train.C_Class_0-6-0_5x13TFlat gb <<< Loco, tender, 5 open wagon, brake car.

Obvious you can select this train under FMB. This bla-bla-bla is to illustrate.

Result:

[CustomChiefs]
[Chiefs]
0_Chief Train.C_Class_0-6-0_5x13TFlat gb

Then, in front of train name, add: /tow03_00 1_Static

Like:

[CustomChiefs]
[Chiefs]
0_Chief Train.C_Class_0-6-0_5x13TFlat gb /tow03_00 1_Static

And under [Stationary] add the Bofors.

[Stationary]
1_Static Artillery.Bofors_StandAlone gb 0.00 0.00 0.00

Save and play the mission. You see active AA over the third wagon after loco, include thender.



If you add /tow03_00 1_Static /tow05_00 2_Static
and under [stationary]

[Stationary]
1_Static Artillery.Bofors_StandAlone gb 0.00 0.00 0.00
2_Static Artillery.Bofors_StandAlone gb 0.00 0.00 0.00

You get a train with Bofors over third and fifth wagons.



Now strafing trains is a bit more challenging.
