Tracer ammunition colors per country

[Zorin]

How about we settle on what we are talking about first. Do you want to know about what we have in game or how it really was in reality? Cause what I said is based on realities.

To be honest / for the curious I'm "making" a small / modest / I believe it will be good 2D WW2 plane game on iPhone with a programmer friend. Some sort of shooter but with realistic elements in it.

For example each plane will have speudo realistic stats (but not much off course, it's a 2D game) and your plane won't be shooting loads of fireballs or lasers.
Some sort of 2D Il-2 for kids as resume.

In order to make it neat, I needed to know what would be the colors of the bullets because when possible ingame I want some minimum realism.

Also the game is taking place over the pacific, no european campaign yet (too much planes to model!) and it suits a little better the american market (70% of the world sales) for a first attempt into making a nice little game.

I've been playing lately Wings of Prey and since its not really a sim, I was wondering if the tracer colors where correct or not. And I didn't find around correct data on the web.

I've been waiting for over 5 years news from next Oleg's game, and naturally I remembered that in this forum I'd find kind people who know much more than I do about WW2 warfare and especially planes.

I'm sorry my questions regard my own dev of a game, but since it's iPhone stuff, there's no real harm done to 1C games. After all, maybe we can make a spin off one day? Haha!

I know that the IJN used a lot of different colors...each ammo type had a different color. NOT ONLY THAT, but the anti-aircraft ammo on each ship had a different color. The game fails to properly model this aspect of "gameplay".

One can only imagine how colorful the game would look during a nighttime air strike.

It is NOT a specific color per country.
There are many different colors depending on the tracer elements used.
Here is some info that may prove useful to you.

Well to all, thank you very much.

With me luck in the dev!
