Balloons

I would like to do some balloon busting! I can find no balloon targets on FC map! Because of internet problems I use single player off line option. Do I need mods selected?  Would some one give me a specific FC map location. Do balloons have a icon?

Might try the Syndicate mission generator, or PWCG.

I've done some balloon busting using PWCG. This was part of a coop campaign, but you can certainly find balloons at the front.

I’ve seen balloons when doing the quick battles before, not at my computer to confirm, but don’t seem to remember them being marked on map.

Balloons don't have icons in FC, as they did in RoF.

Lucky they're big b*st*rds.

 

S!

If you do a quick mission there is one hanging out south of Arras proper. Somewhere in vicinity of:

I remember the RoF version of WildBill was like a balloon.

Only one dammit! In quick missions you should be able to adjust the number of balloons, like with EA, so that you can have waves of balloons coming at ya after each is popped! A swarm of balloons on the attack, binoculars blazing!

Some of the training maps that people host have respawning balloons like that. Think no.20 has a setup like that.

wildbill, I've not had much luck either, not that I've looked that hard. But @US93_Talbot actually gave those directions. Maybe he can offer further assistance.

Balloon max height is 1500m I think, I've seen them in the qmb.

Isn't it just that the balloon is quickly Ai-pulled back to ground level when an enemy plane comes near?

In quick mission, balloons are tied to artillery ground target, so you have to have artillery enabled as a ground target and a balloon will be above them.

Guess shooting balloons can be tricky anyway:
