This how I watch them
Tracking view: Focus Bandit, Track KV
ONLY LABELS I USE
1)Airspeed
2)Altitude
3)Turn rate
4)Turn radius
5)Radar lock line
6)Medium wingtrails
Everything else off (no names, or those altitude poles, nothing)
This way I can constantly see what my bandit is doing. I pretty much know how I flew the jet, but the numbers are there anyway. That's what you're focused on the most is the numbers.
When turn rate goes up, and turn radius goes down, the bandit is loading G. When turn rate goes down, and turn radius goes up, the bandit is unloading G.
The wingtrails help keep a perspective on geometry during the fight. The radar lockline shows when each bandit has a lock, and then the resulting manuevers will tell you if he used that lock for critical information (target speed, altitude, closure, range, etc).
Once I watch it this way, sometimes I'll watch it again focused on my jet, and track the bandit.
Also, if I need to look at something closer, I'll back it up and use another view.
I also listen to my favorite soundtracks when viewing ACMIs to give a feel to the engagements and help perservere through tedius analysis of the numbers.
Let me know what you find.
[EDIT] In high aspect (head on) situations, I'll turn off the radar lock line and some other labels to clean the picture up so I can see the tracers. I also look at internal view of my bandit to see approximately where I am in his HUD.
Looking from the bandits internal view,and tracking focused on them, has been a pretty big assist in my choice of defensive manuevers over the years. (quite a big tip there hehehehe)
