Did a little flying in AvA last night and got my butt kick very nicely. Need more PRACTICE. Here's the question....is it normal for the enemy planes not to have tags in this scenario? I noticed that all friendlies had them, but the bad guys didn't. Thanks in advance.

hey norm,
it is normal for there to be no icons on enemy planes. generally icons are on friendlies only 2.5k to 3.0k.
it generally takes about 4 hours or so of flying in this environment to get used to it. there really are only 2 simple differences between no icons, and icons. without icons, rather than looking for the big red "shoot hefre" banner, you look for the little dot(much the same as another aircraft looks in rl at that distance), and you have to learn to use your gunsight and judgement for shooting distances.
you'll find that once you get in close and tight, it's best to stay there, as camo really does work.
check this page out...it's an excellent write-up by dawger with some tips.
