Guys, where exactly is the problem?

At max distance the plane has the size of 1 pixel - that's the same for whatever resolution.

But on a 1024x768 screen this poor lone pixel has roughly twice the size(in milimeter) compared to 1680x1050.
...which makes it easier to spot for the human eye.


I play at 1680, and even if I spotted the enemy earlier it wouldn't help me a damn as I have to get a whole lot closer to identify it first.

So what tactical advantage do I get if I spot the enemy at a distance of 8km vs 6km?
Sure, you could use those extra 2km to climb like a bat from hell, but...

Wait: You guys dont have icon and plane ID on, do you?

(Btw, being a marksman is worth about twice as much as the pilot skills, imho)
