To be honest I don't have this problem. I did in the beginning (readjusting from old Il-2) but the longer I played, the less difficult it was. It is possible to spot contacts from 4-5k. It's not easy but I don't think it is supposed to be.

From my experience on atag for example, there is quite a few red players at 20k.

True...

I don't know, I just see contacts down below. Not sure if as low as 4,5km underneath but certainly more than 2 km. Often the con is too low to bother. Easier over water than over the land of course, but possible.

I don't know I always meet quite a few friendly contacts at alt.

That is true and a massive issue of this sim imho, unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that, they won't touch the FMs until the sequel. I haven't tested the new patch yet, what is the top ceiling of the 109 - still 7,4km?
