    What about this:

    When there starts an air raid on an field and the tower will be hit.
    Won't it be realistic that the pilots in that tower would be killed or badly wounded bij the bomb blast? :D
    (a few minutes after the attack we could suspect that they have found cover into a shelter)

    and this:

    Can we get Balloons over the air field against low flying planes? :D

    Balloons were used by ships to actually bring down planes.

    These balloons had high tension wires that could easily slice any part of a plane off if it collided. Made assaultig a landing craft MUCH harder.

    why not make pilots die (get sucked into a black hole) when they fly off the map?

    everyone knows the world is flat, and that you fall into space when you pass its limits! :D
