Hi, i am sorta new to sim, but have played the base game of warthunder for a decent amount of time, and i struggle a little and would like some advice, i was playing 7.3 to 8.7 but the sea vixen is cancer, so now i just play props, but i am wondering, how do people seem to spot me so easily in sim? i’m playing with a friend every time i have played and we are constantly on discord VC relaying as best as we can our position, flying low, flying high, using vehicles that have appropriate camo like the italians in the desert as an example, and it always seems the enemy can just so easily spot and pick apart our team so effectively , leading to most people who aren’t bombers just leaving, i know obviously about the air trails at high altitudes but i actively look out for that, and say engine smoke from cooking the engine (thanks italian shitcans) or even the wingtip trails, trying to reduce visibility as much as i can, but it never seems to work, whereas , even in a full on VR setup, i can barely spot people at all, scanning low, high etc?
i am guessing maybe it’s just people with a large amount of game knowledge they can kinda just sense where people are, but even when i try avoid objectives with the main goal of beaing sneaky, they whip around just as quick as i can get my sight on em.
thanks
