Ahem... I can see all 7 fine, because I'm looking at a static screen. Add some cockpit clutter, motion and altitude, then you have to;
1) Hope you see the itty bitty black dots against the ground.
2) Get close enough to positively ID the airframe as Friend or Foe. (yeah yeah radios work wonders locating friends, but not everyone listens)
3) Shoot the con down guestimating range.
Personally, I can do all three of the above, but there are a lot of players in game that cannot do number 1, let alone 2 & 3 shortly thereafter.
No icons is a nice thought, but the reality of computers, the net and varying screen resolutions make it impractical in AH at this time.
Wish I was there to cover y'all
