Or maybe it could just show some kind of symbol next to the playername in the playerlist for those who use poor gfx settings.
btw I have to disagree with bravery and panicking: bravery is bad, panicking is good. There's always a reason for panic. Discretion is the better part of valour etc

Yea, but from what I've understood about the game settings and visibilitysettings is that at low resolution, the bogeys in the sky are much more noticable at
longer distances (the infamous dot range phenomenon in IL-2)
How would you enforce medium settings that way, you would have to have some kind of resolution fix after all? To make it so that the low resolution doesn't gain ridiculous advantage in spotting ability.
I was watching history channel dogfights and there was an interview of the Israeli ace pilot Giora Epstein. He said that an average fighter pilot would see an enemy (jet fighter?), at about 8-12 miles distance (presumably nose-to-nose)
Epstein also said that he himself could see bogeys far away in the distance of about 24 miles. (he was acknowledged to have
extraordinarily sharp eyesight, by the standards of fighter pilots)
