Good videos - the main thing that needs to be in though is the bullet bouncing, if I go full auto shooting at a tank the bullets should dig first and then when they hit the tank many should ricochet. Anyone know if that is in the game?

Let me quote Luthier: The tracers are perfect. Point. End of discussion.

of course they are. if in place of your eyes you have camera lens and shutter working on slower speeds than your usual vision is, then they are perfect.

what about the rounds being shot at you? now tracers also have glowing tip and sides instead of the base?

I know this tracer discussions sounds silly, boring, tiresome and above all nitpicking... but to me they will not look natural and bring more to the game immersion-wise just because Luthier says they are perfect.

You ignore the fact he doesn't give a sh1t what you think - even if you repeat it a thousand times.

Need a picture to make his POV more understandable?

I hope they don't keep all tracers white by default. It doesn't do much if i can only change tracers in my plane.
If they want to go with a single color by default, they should at least make all of them red instead of white.
Tracers were red in the rifle caliber weapons on both sides. Spits, Hurricane, British bomber gunner, German bomber gunner, German 8mm mg's on fighters and all italian planes as well. All had red tracers.
Why did they decide to go with white?

They didn't, that's just all you've seen so far, they will be correct historical colours.

swiss, if you wanna diss someone, at least give the man full treatment. Please do not use some lame knock-off products.



now, go to your mommy and tell her how cool you made yourself look today at the forums.

That's all that matter.

Thank you.

no need to be abusive swiss, and just because luthier says something it doesn't mean people cant discuss it and have their own opinion. I myself would favour tracers be more orb-like but then again I haven't seen them with my own eyes.

seeing people post pictures as replies and trolling makes me sad.
