But seriously it can be tough to pick them up. Usually I use the Mk1 eyeball sensor to pick them up in the distance then switch to guns or binocs.

I've never bothered to find them visually. As soon as someone yells out about an aircraft, I never bother to find out if it's friendly or not. If he's friendly, he can't land nearby and shoot the breeze with my crew, and if he's not friendly, he's definately not going to shoot the breeze (he'll be shooting something else). As soon as they're spotted, my left index finger hits the C button and we pull the plug for an hour or two.

I only had one aircraft warning this patrol, pulled the plug, and stayed down a couple of hours, he never spotted me. Puts
