Continuing to develop your flightsim guncam skills...nicely done.
Unfortunately, as with IL-2, we cannot create the
squiggle tracers (caused mostly by aircraft/guns/camera-shake) seen in most WWII real-world guncam footage. Thus, the
pilot's view of the straight line (laser-like) tracers is reflected in the pseudo guncam footage, rather than the view/images recorded by a bouncing shaking gun
Camera.
Nevertheless, your guncam films are still the WWII flightsim community's best.
Have you tried loading your ammo belts with just a mix of HE rounds and British .303 'observor' rounds...with
no tracers....or maybe only one tracer round every 6 or 7 rounds in the belt loadout. These should show explosive hits and smoke hits, respectively, upon impacting the target...aircraft or train locomotive (your personal favorite)...with few or no laser-tracers. Guncam footage developed therefrom could look
very realistic.
There is Real World WWII guncam footage depicting such 'tracer-less' attacks and footage. For example, at 2:41-2:55, 3:31-4:00, 7:12 in this footage [ignore the fact that it is mistitled and is
NOT exclusively Spitfire footage, whatsoever]:
Here, for reference, at 00:23-00:35, and 2:40-2:55, are the 'squigglies' which we cannot reproduce in IL-2 or COD.
