Question Spotting enemy aircraft (online)

Recently, after flying many bomber missions, I've decided to try out the fighters, for some change. And after getting somewhat comfortable with the Hurricane and with the Spit Mk1a (both 100oct), I set out to get into combat on the ATAG server.
However, I find it quite hard to spot enemy aircraft; bombers in particular. Yesterday, I encountered several Me109s (and got pretty much outclassed by them ), but, I've yet to meet one or more bombers, be it AI- or human-piloted. I followed Vectors from Chain home, looked for AA explosions over the RAF's home territory, but nothing so far.

I don't want to cry "Bug!" on this, but did I do something wrong perhaps? Could it be the same issue as it is with the tree setting, where you have to change (and, optionally, re-change) the setting in order to have the trees displayed properly? Can I get some additional hints on where flak explosions are mostly positioned, in relation to the plane being shot at? Has someone had similar experiences? Or do I just have to look harder?
Reminder: I'm talking about online play now.

P.S.: I run a resolution of 1920 x 1080

P.P.S.: I remember actually getting visuals on AI bombers on the ATAG server quite some time ago... I believe it was in the timeframe of the second-to-last patch.
