Il-2 have´s diferent color tracers according to country and ammo since the original IL-2 release.
Green tracers from I-16 and I-15 have been an issue because they do look too much like taken from Star Wars. But nobody researched seriously if they look and are realistic, only judge if they like it or not, like here.
Still, tracers should be judged only from ingame video, not by screenshots, they can be very deceiving on an screenshot. And also they look very diferent when saw from a distance (like small lines moving fast) or from behind when you fire them (like dots), but it seems most people do not realize that.
Also, if tracers give away your position and all that, its another subject, they were used and were an standar part of the ammo loadout, so they should be there. Even if some pilots or squadron preferred not to use them. Or else provide data that the real policy of the RAF or Lufftwaffe was to not use tracers.
