Default New Objects Wishlist

More Balloons: Unless there is some reason why they shouldn't exist, it would be useful to have:

Barrage Balloon 100 m - To represent barrage balloons just being launched or which have been hauled down, as shown here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:N...upply_edit.jpg

Barrage Balloon 300m - representing very low-flying balloons, as was sometimes used to counter V-1 attacks.

Barrage Balloon 900m, 1500m & 1800m - to fit in at 300 m intervals between existing barrage balloon objects.

Of course, what would be really convenient is the ability to set the altitude of Barrage Balloons in the FMB, at any altitude between 0-2400m.

Observation balloons at higher altitudes - 300 m, 600 m, 900 m, 1200m, 1500 m, 1800m, 2400m.

Assuming observation balloon doctrine was the same during WW2 as it was during WW1, observation balloons usually operated between 1,000-1,500 m and could go higher (about as high as WW2 barrage balloons).

If you wanted to get fancy, a winch truck object could be added to the base of the barrage balloon or observation balloon objects, with the option of hauling the balloons down under certain circumstances. During WW1, the rate of descent was normally 2-3m, but up to 10 m/second in an emergency.

Anything British and Italian. We have a great Med map now, all that's lacking is the British and Italian objects. Well, armor wise we are good, but ships, artillery, vehicles. Any of that would be greatly appreciated.

I would love to see more British and German ships: destroyers, cruisers, corvettes and torpedoboats.

If it is for asking, I will ask for deploying/undeploying barrage balloons

For the Channel Map:

Floating Luftwaffe Airman -
Luftwaffe Airman in Inflatable Raft -
Floating RAF Airman

Floating USAAF Airman in Winter Dress
USAAF Airman in Winter Dress in Inflatable Raft
Large USAAF Inflatable Raft with multiple downed aircrew



"Ski-shaped" V-1 preparation bunkers

Concrete V-1 launch ramp

Walled Norman farmhouse complex - this would save a lot of time populating the map and would make the Normandy sections look a lot better.

https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...7U5A5jB-gLUbug

(also see the farmhouse in the background in the illustration of the V-1 site)

French site with pictures of preserved V-1 launch site at Douval Val Ygot:

http://www.jean-maridor.org/francais/ardouval.htm


Norman "Bocage" Hedgerow - basically, big earth embankments with trees on top. These provided serious cover for the German defenders and made attempts to land (or crash land) in Norman fields quite tricky, even ignoring all the other anti-landing devices.

https://theoldtopographer.files.word...file.gif?w=584

Norman Bocage Hedgerow with breach caused by "Rhino" tank fitted with Cullin device:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...inhedgerow.png

"Rommel's Asparagus" - poles set into the ground with wires stretched between them as anti-glider measures and poles driven into the invasion beaches at an angle and topped with anti-vehicle mines. Extremely common defenses in Normandy in 1944. For simplicity, these could be made as "patches" of poles which could be placed quickly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rommel%27s_asparagus

Thames Estuary AAA Forts - These were serious deterrents to late-war German raiders attacking London or shipping in the estuary.

http://www.bobleroi.co.uk/ScrapBook/...GreatNore.html

Luftwaffe Rescue Buoy - These were deployed along the French coast during and after the Battle of Britain. They were commonly used by downed airmen on both sides, and were checked on a regular basis by both British MTB and German E-boots.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_buoy_(Luftwaffe)

RAF ASR-4 Rescue Buoy - These were converted launches which were moored along the coast along typical flight paths of Allied aircraft. They were first deployed in 1941-42.

Various lightships, beacons and buoys. There were many of these during WW2, and they were used as navigation aids by both sides - at least during the day. At night, they were either blacked out, or just had low intensity direction lights visible. Lighthouses were also used as observation posts.

Railway Marshaling Yard Objects, such as Round Houses, Engine Repair Sheds, Yard Towers, and Railroad Spurs. French Marshaling Yards were sites of some of the most intense bombing attacks of the war in the months prior to D-Day. Likewise, Allied aircraft devastated Italy's marshaling yards. On any front, they were natural targets for tactical bombers and fighter bombers.

Bomb storage bunkers

Every airfield in the UK would have had one or more bunkers for storing bombs and other ordinance. The Luftwaffe had similar facilities but I haven't yet been able to find pictures.

Not really an object but I would like to see Vichy France added as a playable nation if possible.
