Hey Wildboar,
Excellent description, brings back some memories here too! Couldn't believe how anyone saw anything when I started to play in the mode, and yes it can be frustrating. I guess for some new to this mode it stops right there, getting hammered all the time.
Here's a few ideas how to pull through:
- play simulator in training mode, the AI aren't as cruel as RL players and you can practice spotting a lot
- have your HUD turned on fully - this will give you a dark spot on the screen when the enemy is far away from you
- check your map and scan accordingly
- when scanning, develop a relaxed gaze into a sector of the sky/landscape, don't focus on anything particular, that way you will detect movement much faster
- give each sector you're scanning a couple of seconds, then go on
- and probably best, practice sim with friends or experienced people who are willing to give you an easy entrance - look for people who have the compass banner in their signatures, like me
Good luck with your next steps!
