And you want them to shoot planes now? Or why post it in the skins forum?

Tracers are meant to be visible though.
- To see where you're shooting
- To see that the ammo is almost empty (different tracer color)
etc.

Today we even have so called dim tracers that are meant to be visible only by night vision equipment.

You can read about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracer_ammunition

Tell me a game where you think the tracers don't look cheesy. I'm just curious. What kind of tracers you think don't look cheesy?

Wings of Prey has tracers that are perfection IMO.

VBS 2 has excellent tracer effects (the military sim based off of ArmA 2).

Start at 57 seconds and watch from there.
