Fighting against micromachines planes ... ?

It might help if they added some reflections on the canopy so that at distance you might see a glint of light shining off the other plane.

this is due to the fact that the human eye does not work in pixels and monitors do... if you play a videogam the world has to be rendered in square pixels, which can only be one colour at a time. this means if an aircraft is far enough to only take up about 3 pixels, you can only see those three pixels instead of the aircraft, and the don't give away the shape/type of the aircraft.
