Hello, im new to the Game however i have at least 3 years experience in flight Sim and i never saw such a bad Spotting. I dont know if it is realistic or not but its definitly annoying. I tried MSAA, it didnt worked. 

 

I don't use max MSAA because human eye can spot moving jagged pixel line better than just moving perfect stable pixels, another thing is that blending outer pixels by AA  to background picture pixels is worst that contras pixels. Sharpen is also helpful.

Many people in my squad say, spotting is much easier in lower resolutions and no AA, your eyes spot unstable jagged pixel formation much easier. Most have better results with 1080p. I am really unhappy about that, because I want to make use of my 2k capabilities and expensive hardware.

 

I also have the theory that monitors with good contrast/ black capabilities helps a lot. Some of us see planes all the time, while others are always blind.

I'm using native resolution 3440x1440@34"IPS Acer Predator and do spot contacts usually first. 

My Pixel Pitch is 0.2316 as 27" 2560x1440 (1440p). But better is  32" 1440p with 0,2767 , same as 24" 1080p 0.2767.

S!

 

The sweetspot seems to be 1440p on a 32" screen as Husar pointed out due pixel size. At least on CloD works very well.

Without AA I can't see anything. The contacts flicker in and out of view like crazy.

Yes I use it too but not at maximum scale.

One problem in diving in on a bandit that is much lower than you is as you get closer the plane needs to re-render to a different size to match the fact that you are getting closer. I've noticed that during re-rendering of the new size the plane may disappear for a second. Also as a has-been real pilot spotting other aircraft is very hard.
