Nature of missions
 
I hope in career mode that even if you don't achieve the stated object, that you still are able to continue with the next mission as long as you survive. Continued sub par performance should result in no promotions, assigned inferior equipment, and lastly returned to training or dismissal. Sometimes the task was too much for anyone no matter how skillful, and not every mission allowed for a kill(s).

Oleg did say yes to this a while ago. That ROF windsock is very well implemented with the gusts etc.

The balloons are tethered by steel cables and placed on the approaches to important targets, with the intention of interfering with bombers and spoiling their bombing runs.

some had a parachute attached to a cable designed to break away when struck
grab hold of the plane then act as a drag on it
you know the outcome of that

Some worked like this and some had a fixed cable which dragged the plane down.

This lead to some interesting German experiments in cable cutting!
