I think dots are a good idea in principle. At the moment low aircraft are just too difficult to spot compared to real life. Icons really do look awful. So dots are a good compromise especially as they sort of suggest reflected light off canopies etc. But I agree they need more work such as more variation to give a better idea of distance whether by size or transparency. I also think they should be optional, maybe even for the various object types. And they definately need to be obscured by intervening clouds and land. Also not so keen on white dots in sky.
