Question regarding aircraft recognition in Sim

[baldwin8]

Well I have only tried the sim in the tutorial and can't seem to find those Messerschmitts that are supposed to be there. But in most air battles in wars I think you will find only a few aircraft took part with just a few aircraft and usually either side had just one type. Such as Fw190s against Spitfires. (Now I am sure someone is going to come along and try and correct me).

I did read a good account of a fighter pilot in Second World War state he came within seconds of shooting down one of his own aircraft, and seriously thought to himself how many times their own pilots were killed by friendly fire. I suspect it happened many more times than we would like to think. We all have a much too jaded view of warfare as it really exists.

So back to your point. You have to get very close to confirm the ident in a large battle. This is something that I don't think is very well portrayed in the game.
