The balloons are red from a distance
The tangle cables do need to be reduced

Okay, if you have enabled the test patch, this is good news actually: it means that the LOD model is used already, without need of any special setting.
You can disable the patch now; should we experience lagging in the vicinity of some dense barrage balloon fields, I will further reduce the number of their vertices

I will reduce the picketing lines (i.e. the lateral wire cables) to a length of about 100 ft (30m): this is the altitude at which balloons were secured before being deployed. As for the central suspension cable, unless there is a special reason for shortening it, it will be bended but not reduced in length, so to allow a realistic max operation altitude of about 4,500 ft (1,370m).

Yes - the LOD was working
for lag, I need to test in a larger port with some ships and perhaps an air raid or two

In any case, they should not affect rendering smoothness more than the previous balloon model did. Despite the feeling of better detail, the new meshes have a smaller number of vertices, edges and polygons, and the LOD model further reduces these numbers to about one half compared to the main model
