The zig-zag appearance of US tracers is easily explicable as being due to camera shake. Anyone who has any theories about how camera shake could induce a spiral pattern to the tracers while leaving other straight lines, um..., unspiralled is welcome to share them now.
I would argue that this illusion -- previously unknown to photography -- doesn't exist. It's a real, plain, genuine and obvious pheonomenon known to ballistics since the earliest days of rifled weapons and exaggerated by the tracer smoke.

I don't really see where anyone who argues against the spiral pattern in the smoke. Especially given that this effect is already in Il2 since the very first version. The question is rather if
those tracers in the SoW video should be smoking or not.
