thirded. I honestly have very little clue how the vets of IL-2 are so good at that. ONLY using sight on what is nothing close to the resolution of the real-world is mind-bending. Honestly, those IL-2 Aces should be in the sky right now, defending their countries

I dont think they see their enemy, they feel them.
Or like some guy in "dogfights" said: I can smell them.

Because most Jet Jockies nowadays aren't real pilots. (My cousin is in the Air Force so don't say anything). The last of the dogfighters was during the Korean War, when you didn't have to flip a little switch and lock onto some guy with a heat seeker.

Unless I had a time machine, then I probably would try to become a real fighter pilot.

But until then, I'll sit back and enjoy Il-2 on my TV

Years of practice, knowing your plane and learning about convergence. Its actually much easier than a knife style dogfight as your prey usually don't know your about to fire on them so isn't manouvering.
