why not add barrage balloons to the game? add it to Gv bases, ports, TT, and cities.

i'm not so sure about airfields cause our own airplane would be caught in it taking off....

just a wish.
be nice to see some noob fly through it and get his wings ripped.

the balloons would just rip your spit apart or any thing you're flying.

think of it, a bunch of ballons flying through the air, maybe a clown who twists them so they look like poodles!

They are possible to make in AH.

The picture above is from my buggy concept testing h2h map few years back..

IMHO
As far my limited 3D design skills are going, the balloon design is easy to do, but the collided, logically visible and destroyable wire is impossible / difficult to do with tools what HTC give to us: Terrain Editor/Object Editor

I really think the balloons won't arrive anytime soon.

Still think it was a sweet idea. That's why I hung onto the pic for so long. Wtg!

I wouldn't mind seeing them over cities, but not vehicle or air bases.

Just my .02 cents

They were used over London... Cities would be the perfect historical scenario.

Sounds like CT to me.

My thoughts, too. You could probably use them over factories, GV bases, and ports too, though definitely not over airfields. There are of course practical issues within the TE, as well as functional problems within the game engine (re-spawning them for example). Cool idea, though. Definitely would like to see them in Combat Tour.

Loosely based to the Hindenburg

It's a excuse for the mid-air spawn in my air- & track-race h2h map.

Although the version I have there's a bug with the collision tag on the face, so we fall through the sign, instead of sit on top of it.
