Depends, if you are going to have them over everything, then no. Not if they trigger the bombs to explode. As long as you can kill them and all they do is keep you from dive bombing untill they are dead or unless you are an AMAZING pilot and can dodge the ballons all while aiming.

Depending on the number of ballons up, I could probably dodge them, but not while aiming my bombs....Not a chance in hell.

Ever consider what those balloons would do to frame rates for 50% of AH Pilots?
