I appreciate it. Actually my biggest problem is making out the bad guys. I have color vision problems (often called color blindness) and its hard for me to see them without the tags against the ground if they are below me. I wil keep at it though..the AvA theatre just seems a better place to play fighter pilot.
ok.....one of the tricks to spotting them if they're low......you need to be co-alt, or slightly below them. when i go into a low(below3k) alt fight there, i head in skimming the tree tops. if i'm in an area without trees, then i'm cutting the rabbits ears off with my props. this lets you see that little black dot before they see you(hopefully). at that point, as you get a little closer, you can decide if you want to climb, and be above, or co-altr, and go from there.
one of the keys, is that once you're in the fight with them, do not let them get more than D600 or so away. that's the point where you're likely to lose sight, as the camo works extremely well.
in my sig line there's a link to the ava website. there's a write up in there by dawger with a LOT of helpful tips for flying in here.
