The thing is that under the right circumstances the light streak will bend. And as with all tracer streaks it's not really happening but is only an illusion that occurs in the eye of the beholder so to speak.
No one is talking about bullet trajectory - the trajectory could be straight as a laser, the discussed effect would still occur.
And unless you have experience flying an aircraft and firing loads of tracers in sharp turns any amount of firing tracers from fixed positions will not get you to observe the phenomenon, so that experience is for this discussion completely inconsequential.
I for one would really like to see the effect in the game as it would probably look really good from external views.
