Also, do you have to land for re-arming and to be awarded your kills?

That confusion about not knowing who the enemy is and who your friends are is called the "fog of war" and because this game is a simulation it is something that WWII pilots had to deal with as well.

There are zoom/wide angle keys that will help with identification but after that you just have to be good at identifying aircraft/aircraft markings quickly.

Personally I just stick with servers that have icons
