Enemies are grey/brown (or vice-versa?, just check the reports screens). Here's a slight cheat which will help: When you are getting close, switch on your VCR then pause and go to replay. Use the independant view to look to the battlefield and check out placement. Think of it as a last minute SR71 flight (as someone else called it) or as communication with the ground forces directing your attack. You can also use the VCR to assess bomb/missile damage. Or use the missile view if you think you can afford it (probably not).
