lol just another day flying ROF I just said that I have to clean my monitor.............no more long dives for nothing  LOL That's happened to me a lot in Il-2 and CoD. Long range visibility being what it is, I find it really easy to get confused... Cheers Nico

Maybe a corollary of that should be "If you haven't ever done that.....you ain't tryin' hard enough!" LOL I first heard the "hard turn into a fly speck on the canopy" on the History Channel years ago during a lighthearted exchange between F16 pilots. We are not alone.

In the SYN server, those bloody ships sat in the middle of the channel sometimes confuse me. They look like the lowest altitude group of 111's I've ever seen. I'm finding that on a sparse server (say < 15 people player) then just finding people to get killed by is becoming a problem. I've had entire 45 minute 'combat air patrols' of just sitting up there without a whiff of a target. Picking out aircraft looking down onto a city, or those moving waves, or those trees  is quite hard. Plus the AI 'ghost groups' that appear/disappear on MP are driving me batty too.

Although, having said that, I never have...... ..never done that for a speck of dust, but I did make a panic break from my radio aerial on the 109 casting a shadow in my cockpit...

yeah, rather annoying, and i know why now   It's worse when it looks like a formation of planes, but as you get closer it's a bunch of limeys hovering in wonder woman's jet.

Rumor is that Ubisoft made them put in a SpitGuy graphic, for, you know, equality reasons.. Which gives me the opportunity to point out, that this close encounter was COMPLETELY HARMLESS (except for the crash after take off) and that SpitGuy´s right fist is ONLY helping out with the fuel cock... ...erm, I gotta go...

I've actually found finding planes on the Syndicate server really easy. Even with just 1 other guy on the server I found him quickly each time. On other servers less so. I guess Syndicate have a different dot setting?
The Aussie server that was up recently had a map were the front was in France and I found it really hard to see dots on the ground and everybody was ground hugging. However on Syndicate over England I found it easier, although you have to learn what to look for first. Maybe I'm just getting better at it?
I've actually chased debris before, some debris after collisions etc. seems to just hang in the air, I've seen entire tail planes just spinning around lazily at 3000 Metres and in no rush to fall to the ground.
Yes the ships, the barrage balloons and the radar towers all look like contacts from a distance, the barrage balloons drive me potty as you go back and forth on the map being fooled each time as their distance is hard to judge.
Also if you have a contact on the ground and you are following him, if you check your six briefly (with a bit of yaw, pitch and roll to check the blind spot) you have a 99% chance of not finding him again when you level off and resume tracking.
