Yes, with my own eyes, no camera or night vision device.

At altitude you should not be able (or barely) to see tracers if fired toward you from in front of you

Of course not.
Well I guess, in fact i cant tell - I've never been in this position I really never want to...
My 45° agrees are based on 0° when directly behind/gunner sight.

In Il2 you see tracers from 10 km away like they were fireworks!

Of course, but since we have no recon maps or radio contact to ground units, this is our only way of recon.
