In Reality, until quite recently, not only did you not know reliably 
where the enemy was, you didn't know where friends were either.
Even now, Blue-on-Blues happen.

Multiplayer games, with each player physically separate not just from 
enemy, but from friends, adds a whole new dimension.

Back in 197-x, I was involved in a "Rolling Thunder" air campaign set in 
the skies over Route Pack 6 (Hanoi area). I was the NVA commander, and 
managed to cause the USAF and USN all sorts of grief - a pair of Mig-19s 
 coming in by surprise could easily cause a whole Yankee Imperialist 
multiplane package to jettison ordnance and abort the mission.

The next time, when the Migs got bounced in their turn by the F-4 MigCap 
and the F-105s continued, this time there were a dozen Mig-17s, and some 
21s to go on afterburner and actually shoot some loaded 105's down.

Lots of head games.

How the US actually managed to do as well as they did given the ROE, I 
have no idea.
