Barrage Ballons What Do You Think
« on: October 05, 2007, 02:31:56 PM »
I know this idea has come up before, but I have a thought on the subject...

Imagine if we had Barrage Ballons over fields, it might make for an interesting flight for high speed field porkers (not that I have an issue with how someone plays its their $14.95 so please dont turn this into a flame thread)

and imagine a low level furball over a field with balloons

I dont know if the lads and lass at HTC would model the collisions with the Cables (if they were ever to include Barrage Ballons) but again I think it would be fun....

Anyway just an idea what do you think....?

Should have searched the "Wishlist" forum ... I have seen this discussed before.

Would be cool, but don't think that we will see it until/unless they model it for Combat Tour.

balloons?  I don't think a plane will explode because a balloon hit it...  the balloon would just go *pop*  and the pilot wouldn't know what the heck happened....  :huh


Oh...  BALLONS....


What are those?  :p

If you want to know where the party is just look for the balloons.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

How high up did barrage balloons go?  The ones in that screenshot appear to be about a mile up, if you consider the runway is about a mile.  A mile would be about 5k alt.  Would that be right?
