Here's the problem i have with the floating target dots...
Here the cluster of dots looks like they could be the same range as they are all identical in size in colour.
But here, we see that the dots are in fact at various ranges - 1km intervals.
I'm sorry, but an aircraft that is 4km away is not going to look identical to the same aircraft that's 8km away.
I find these dots kill the immersiveness. They're like these little artificial sprites floating around in an otherwise realistic looking 3D environment. They need to go.
And besides the aesthetics, these dots make it unrealistically easy to detect targets. It's almost like having a radar. It means you don't have to carefully scan for enemy planes in the distance, and it likewise makes it difficult to sneak up on people.
I think the option should be there to turn those off completely.
[EDIT]
Sorry, i guess my pictures came out a little small.
Here's a zoomed in view. Those aircraft are 4km, 5km, 6km, 7km and 8km away respectively from right to left. Yet they all appear to be relatively the same size an colour because of these artificial looking target dots. There's no way that the 4km plane and the 8km plane should look the same like that.
