OLEG WROTE: Perfect answer really....

I would also add for all, that we can't track the size of pixel for the different physical size of monitors with the same resolution in pixels.
For example I have two monitors with the same pixel resolution at home... both full HD, however one is 13 inches of high end ligth weight carbon noterbook, but another is 24 inches standard monitor... Cheat? Definitely cheat speaking about size of the dot in this case !

Go play il2 on some closed pit serve at 1600x1200 - and I guarantee that after an hour you will be angry and frustrated to the max, because time and time again you will not be able to see that you're near an enemy who will about to shoot you down.

Please read THIS thread - its all about equal opportunities to spot the enemy!

Thank you for the greatest laugh of all time on this forum. LOL Honestly. Comedy doesn't write itself as well as that. Ohhhhhhh the irony.... the IRONEEEEEEEEEEEY

I currently play Il2 at 1920X1200, Obviously the dots are a little harder to see especially against terrain, but they can be seen you just have to look real hard, which i imagine the most successful fighter pilots would be good at. In fact I have found that sometimes you can see the dot but when you zoom in you lose it, I have also found that darker dots tend to be the enemy and lighter ones are usually friendly, as anyone else noticed this?

Instead of increasing the 'dot' size under higher resolution, how about we decrease the apparence of dot at low resolution?

I say we have the dot (1 pixel) gradually fades into the surrounding depending on distance. This way there is no apparent advantage by having lower resolution.
