Is it currently possible to setup a realistic ground intercept?

Is it currently possible to setup a periodic-matched realistic ground intercept scenario for spitfire? For example, player takes off then navigates to the mission waypoint and gets enemy contact location passed via radio?

Which leads to a second question:

How would a spitfire pilot find the enemy in a ww2 scenario? Fly to a waypoint and look for targets? And what would a normal pilot be able to detect at what distance? When playing without labels?

Yes.

I suggest reading up on "rhubarb" missions. These were low level, small formation patrols designed to find and shoot up ground targets of opportunity.

Fly to a waypoint and look for targets?

Yes, that's one way to do it.

And what would a normal pilot be able to detect at what distance? When playing without labels?

How far away, in real life, can you see a grey/ dark-green painted car?

There's your answer.

Yes

Through flak and a European drizzle with low cloud. :)
