If I load the outboard guns with tracers in both planes the hurricanes clearly have less distance between the tracers. Almost a constant stream of tracers. The spits have large gaps between each tracer.
Same tracer types...I've tried a few different types. A single tracers in number 1 and 8 guns in loadout screen.
Maybe it's a graphics glitch...
well I don't know whether you can measure the rate of fire by the number of tracers you see, but here's some interesting literature on the subject

.303s actually had a muzzle booster and lightened barrel to improve the rate of fire, so my wild guess is that maybe you're being deceived by the alternation of tracers from different perspectives.
