movies are just that, movies, but in the game the planes are damn near invisible until within 500 yards and I think this is unrealistic.

sure the paint schemes are designed to make them harder to see but I think its way way too hard to see them to the point of being unrealistic.

never mind your opinions on weather you should be staying on the surface and looking for planes or not, but stick to the question at hand. I don't think the planes blended in any where near as well as they do in the game.

I have seen in person many ww2 planes with the correct paint schemes flying around at air shows and they are not very hard to spot at all even at a good distance.

im thinking the color schemes might need to be tweaked to darken them for more contrast against the sky colors or maybe its a question of the distance rendering of the planes but they seam to be invisible even when you know exactly what direction they are coming from and then they just suddenly pop out into thin air when they are right on top of you.

im not looking for unrealistic neon flashing lights on them, I just want to be able to see a plane at distance the same way it is in real life

opinions and or files to mod suggestions to correct this issue please?
