Well personally, I can make out dots against the sky background which disappear if I zoom view them. However I simply cannot see planes beneath me against a ground background, even if I'm chasing them. Against a sea background it's a by hit or miss. It's a little easier if they have a yellow nose but 90% of the time I lose sight of a contact even if I'm on it's six....if only camouflage was as effective as this in real life.

The Mini fix seems to have made this worse for me - except it is the same for all the fighters. Dots are no problem but at the 3d rendering they vanish.

I don't have the Beta patch yet but haze is my biggest bug-bear. i have 2560 x 1440 monitor running max resolution GPU, finding aircraft in haze is impossible, otherwise if fairly clear then finding aircraft below is difficult until you see it move, then you have to keep your eyes on it otherwise .. AARRGGH! i suppose that's real life? When the enemy is level or above they are far easier to see. i've trained my eyes to recognise aircraft at long range. A returning Hurricane i call "stiff legs" because the wing is straight like a person with stiff legs, A Emil has angled wings, a spit thin wings.
