The tracer smoke is too widely spread in Cliffs of Dover IMO. Also, this smoke was added to increase gunnery effectiveness, it wouldn't make much sense if it troubled the pilot.
Sven is right, the smoke of tracers is overdone. It hides the target even in 109, I had to change belting to avoid that.

The major culprit of the smoke obscuring view is the cannons. You can not change the loadout in anyway to reduce smoke. I have no tracers in my cannon loadout as every round is a tracer and smokes too much.

Yes, I agree my drop in framerate is and should be attributed to my older laptop. I am unaware of any possibility to "upgrade" my GPU. I also am told by Cyberpower, Clevo, and Corsair that I can't upgrade my RAM.

The complete obscuring of a target due to essentially firing smoke grenades is a game problem. The smoke needs to be turn down, dissipate faster, or no spread so much in order to not impact pilot visibility.
