Default Could we see PAC defenses being implemented in SOW?

Hi all
Haven't posted here in awhile, time i got back into the fray.
I've been doing a lot of research on BOB and other WW2 battles, and one thing i've recently learned about, and think would be pretty cool to have implemented in SOW, is the PAC (parachute assisted cables) defenses which were used with minor success during BOB. These seem pretty elusive to find pictures of, so far i've only found a few refences to them, but no pics.
The Brits introduced these during BOB for the first time. Basically, a cable fired straight up by rocket, which then released a parachute at the apex of its climb, and the cable would then slowly drift to the ground. These would be used as air defense, as bombers would have to divert around them. if snagged, another parachutw would then deploy at the bottom end of the cable, producing a nasty drag on the ensnared plane, which generally resulted in a quick plummet to the ground. They were later also modified to have a mine attached, with obviously nasty results for the bomber...
So, is this idea feasible/doable for SOW?
Personally, i thnik it'd be great. Although they didn't claim more than a handful of planes, the main aim was to act as a deterrent, similar to barrage balloons, etc.
Thanks in advance...
