Barage Balloons

These things would be really cool for WWI arena, we need them because none of the planes carry bombs or anything of that jazz.

Barrage Balloons were used in WW2 also... mostly by the British if I am not mistaken.

Maybe place the balloons only at the ports?  Make it a bit more challenging to take a port when the CV isn't there.  +1

barrage balloons wouldn't stop level bombers, or dive bombers. It would just stop NOE strafers or low-angle bombers... Maybe. I think it might be cool, but overall as far as AH goes I don't think it would affect gameplay much. It would add depth, though.

It also wouldn't stop GVs  :neener:
