Impressive! I also started playing about 8 months ago, but still prefer to play with icons- mostly to relieve eye strain. Although I switched of map icon as those kill the suspense/surprise factor for me

Another aid with target identification would e a button that when pressed would prompt your (obviously all seeing) AI wingman to report the position of the enemy- as coordinates on a map ( eg " enemy in square Q-10"), an also its relative position (eg 3 o'clock - like its currently implemented in IL2) and its altitude. The main point is for this to happen ON DEMAND from a player eg at a press of a button, or at least to have that option.
