I remember from the Mig Alley sim that it was often the canopy reflections of enemy airplanes which would give you an early indication that there was something 'out there'. Apart from engine contrails at certain altitudes, of course.

Perhaps this could be modeled as well in a future CoD patch, that canopy reflections can be a bother, but may also help you spotting bogies (and vice versa)?

In WW2 werent like 80% of fighter on fighter kills made when one party was not aware of the enemy before they got shot down? I mean most kills resulted from people closing in and hoping the other pilot is distracted (I would be if I was sitting in a plane for 6+ hours, after a few hours I imagine your nerves calm down and you lose concentration).

Only problem is of course the AI doesnt operate based on sight which makes it a bit unbalanced.
