Balloon Bombers
I wonder if anyone would bother trying to use balloons as bomb delivery vehicles during the Twilight War, after aircraft are grounded by lack of fuel and/or spare parts. The concept goes back at least to the 1940s. Both the British and the Japanese used balloons to deliver bombs and incendiary devices during World War II.

We also have this thread, dedicated to other tactical military uses for balloons (as observation platforms, AA obstacles, etc.): https://forum.juhlin.com/showthread....light=balloons -
