can someone tell me how exactly the highlighting works in air rb？sometimes it simply doesn’t work even when the enemy is 6km from me
The funny part is, it doesn’t work! Too inconsistent for enjoyable gameplay.

Its hella bugged
Clouds, crew skill, relative altitude and relative position to the sun can all affect spotting range. The way they affect them is wildly inconsistent however.
Clouds are client side, so it’s nearly impossible to predict whether you’ll be unspotted to an enemy or if an enemy will suddenly disappear as soon as he enters a very light patch of moisture in the air.
Altitude difference also varies hugely. Sometimes it reduces spotting range very slightly, others it will make aircraft invisible until 1.5km if they’re at ground level and you’re above them.
On some maps spotting people coming from the sun can also be tricky because the actual “area” that affects is is visually inconsistent with the actual sun you see in game.
