Skidz Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 evrywhere i fly the one thing i dont see is barrage balloons on both sides,and i know there were balloons in the big cities and,special areas,is there anyway they could be implemented in the il2 series<? thanks. 1
56RAF_Roblex Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Thay do exist in the BoX series. On the KOTA server they are over Anapa and also over Kerch I think. 1

If you are just flying in the QMB, it is a pretty barren and desolate place. The QMB is just meant as a sandbox for fast action and testing and such. Career mode, single player campaigns and missions usually have a lot more ambient objects and action going on. There are also some very good campaigns and missions made by users as well. It is generally up to mission designers to populate the area with objects.
56RAF_Roblex Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I am guessing by the fact that they are only used in a few places in a couple of MP servers that they take up a lot of resources.
Skidz Posted March 21, 2019 Author Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) ive noticed in il2 battle of britian blitz when you fly over London there is not a single barrage balloon,its a pity really,i have all the il2 games but they are not showing up on my profile,maebee because i got some from steam,but in multiplayer i would also like to see barrage balloons,the il2 series looks odd without them, in such a brilliant simulator series,it is very odd not to see barrage balloons,especialy in BOB Blitz when you fly over London there is not one barrage balloon to be seen.

They do exist over Dover mainly, but mission makers leave them out over London to save on performance. I think they eat up a great deal of processing power, so they are left out most of the time.
RedeyeStorm Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 In SP career mode you do see barrage balloons over Moskou.

I have (nearly) run into barrage balloons on KOTA, so can confirm. Can't recall if I've seen them in career mode, I think I've seen some over Stalingrad or nearby on my fighter career though...
unreasonable Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 They are in the editor as ground/aerostat; I suppose our tactical battlefield maps just do not call for them often. So no need for a mod. Presumably we will get an observation balloon for FC soon as well. Trying to shoot them with rockets was about the most fun thing about RoF.
Juri_JS Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 The barrage balloons we have in the game are intended to be viewed in the distance over Moscow. They don't have a damage model and they don't cause any damage to planes. 1

You cannot parameter the height or cable length. They will be all at exactly the same altitude which is not realistic. They are not influenced by wind. You can use them and they are nice to see but that's all.

You just have to put in negative numbers into the object hight settings if I remember correctly. I'll have to check... @Skidz But I do agree I would like to see more of them. I really miss the observation balloons from RoF. I'm kind of fascinated by war-balloons in general. Their kind of an underused asset IMO. I love sharing the sky with them.

LizLemon Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Collision models are very simple. It should be possible to add one to the aerostat.... 1
