I am going to propose a little thing that would help contact visibility somewhat, especially against lower flying opponents:

 

Glinting.

 

Having a planes reflection of the sun make a small, glistening dot appear would help tremendously in distinguishing contacts at long ranges, kind of like how afterburner glow already helps a ton.

 

It would be realistic, I presume, and would put lower flying planes into the disadvantage they could supposedly have. Higher flying planes tend to be between the sun and the onlooker, so reflections cast into the sky would obviously help them stay harder to spot visually...

 

Not sure how easy or hard it would be to implement, if it should be a global effect that just happens OR in fact be determined by sun position.

 

But what do you guys think? Discuss!

Striker: "Copy, say Altitude?"

GCI: "....Deck....it´s a SAM site..."

Striker: "Oh...."

Fighter: "Yeah, those pesky russian build, baloon based SAMs."
