Tracers too fast looking?
 

Anybody else think the tracers are too fast looking on the screen? like the rate of fire seems about 800 a second . I don't care about the tracer itself looking like a lazer it's just there all fire like them.

I think it looks good. Check this out for reference:

It's alot slower in the video then the game.

I think I know what you mean. The Hurri seems to just hose around two unbroken streams of tracers without any space between individual streaks. I don't recall seeing that effect in any guncam films. Maybe I haven't seen the right guncam films... or maybe my memory is bad.

The linked vid is all at slow motion, so not a good comparison.

have you tried loading less tracer? try 1 in every 10, not sure what new default is.

Try setting it to every 5th round a tracer on two or four guns and compare. There's nothing wrong with the effect, other than those things being way to thick and "laser" like when compared to real life.

Browning 303s fire 1200 rounds per minute, that's 20 per second. As mentioned above, what you see also depends on the number of tracers loaded. If you have a tracer every 5 rounds then that's 4 tracers streaking away every second.

Also remember that guncams record at something like half speed (don't know for sure). What we're used to seeing in film is much slower than reality.

I must confess I chuckled at the Star Wars title scroll on that video.

Can you tell me...

How do you select a tracer to fire every 5 rounds etc in the loadout screen then?

You can insert bullets manually, so basially give the game a "scheme" if you want to put it like that.

For testing:

Select a gun, then insert:

1x Tracer (i.e. Red)
1x AP
1x Ball
1x Ap
1x Tracer/Incendiary De Wilde

Make sure you save it as custom, and it will be your default loadout online. Now all you need to do is to hop on a server and test it for yourself.
