Title: Barrage Ballons What Do You Think
Post by: mussie 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

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?

Some were also equipped with explosives so that if it didn't cut your wing off, when the cable and balloon separated (as in, the balloon hit the top of your plane as the cable slides underneath), it would detonate and ignite the balloon on top of you.

Just what we need, more "uber" barrage balloons!!

1st we need to fill the "gaps" in the earlier balloon sets!

And if we do get them, of course they would need to be perked!!

Shoot down barrage balloons.  De-ack field.  Continue as normal.

What purpose would they serve other than another target?  Stop vultching?  I think not.
