barrage balloons

[CAP1]

i was just watching the video in this thread.......http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,251730.0.html


decent video in there. something caught my eye though. whenevr you see any video of the (invasion?) fleet, there's barrage balloons(i think that's what they were called?) all over the place.
 anyway, considering the lancstuka problems when a fleet gets near enough to a base to cause a nice fight, what would be the general opinion on having the possibility of these on the perimeter ships?

to take it a step farther, how about putting them up around some of the foward bases. this would aid those stubborn types that refuse to launch from another base and fly 1 or 2 sectors, to get there just in time for the vulchers to auger.

just a thought......and would be pretty cool  i think.

It will not make any difference.  They can still drop bombs from below them.  If they do it from hi alt, the bombs come in on an angle anyway.  It will only prevent the attack planes from dropping vertically as they should and make them use bufs instead

my intention with that suggestion was to prevent the "lancsutkas". they'd get torn up in the cables. the idea is to almost sort of force the aggressors to use level bombing.

 one other side effect i only just now thought of, it would help keep good gv battles clear of low bombers too, for the same reasons.

Would be nice if barrage balloons were ever introduced, they'd also have the explosive charges mounted on cables like the most of them had.
