Where it most commonly happens that you get shot at by the 2 seater when another plane is "in the way," is when the "blocking" plane is in the 2 seater's blind spot right behind the tail. The 2 seater can shoot 2 hexes straight back but not one, so the adjacent enemy plane cannot be "blocking" the view.
Yup. Since the game doesn't have altitude it is an assumption that an a/c in the hex directly behind a two seater is automatically lower. It would be possible to house modify the board-game to make the statement that you may fire at an a/c in the hex directly behind a two seater so long as it is not facing the same direction, but I simply forgot to put it in. That would be a pretty good house rule or errata when I think about it.
