Balloon barrages in late summer 1944 over England

England 1944-09.:

 

A section of the balloon defence put up against the buzz bombs. Balloons stretched as far as the eye could see in this barrage, the greatest that has ever been put into the air.

It would be great if something like this could be implemented on the Normandy Map. However, I suspect that this amount of tethered balloons would bring the simulation to its knees?

Maybe a mix of tethered balloons and dummy 'aerostats' from the Moscow map would recreate the illusion w/o compromising performance.
