Some people use very low resolutions to make the dots bigger.

It's true. Some players choose this 'advantage' at the expense of crappy graphics.

People say all kinds of things. Some times they might even be true. If they don't tell you enough that you can check it yourself, the chances that you're just getting wound up for a fool increase.

Other methods... depending on server, "enemy external views" and "padlock" may be allowed, but these fall into the cheat category, and I can't confirm that padlock locks on to targets that are a great distance away.

It's also possible that low flying opponents communicate via teamspeak to the high flyers. On some servers, there are even AI flights, and they use the radio too, so if you know their position, you might get some idea as to where the opponents are.

As for filters, the only filter one should disable is the cigarette filter, and cigarettes too in general. And be sure not to overstress your eyes! Trying to find a dot or lump of pixels that's flying over a e.g. a snowy forest or ocean is tiresome, and you may find that it's impossible to focus your eyes properly after awhile.

A lot of the online wars and campaigns are fought with some of the best hardware set to the lowest settings to gain increased range on "dots" and lowered game settings removes buildings exposing only ground objects to be destroyed in online competitions.

Test it your self

640x480
Set all graphics to lowest settings in IL2 1946 main gui

Perfect mode & 1680x1050


Lowest settings & 640x480




Flying around looking for ground targets on these settings makes them easier to spot and kill, the same goes for aircraft they are like huge bricks rather than tiny dots.

Competition brings out the worst in some people,
but its part of the game and not possible for the host to lock these settings,
so its up to the user to make it look like what he wants.

Whole squads fly low res and settings so they can see enemy air and ground targets easier in some online wars.

Not for me, but then I stopped flying in online wars due to the bomber/log file hack from years ago long before the sound hack then the speed hack and the radar hack etc etc etc
