One of the biggest difficulties I have found in IL2 is to know where you are firing with .50cal and lower, the addition of the Holy Grail and Potenz effect pack was possibly the best mod ever produced imho and if you have ever looked at the comparison videos on you tube (I posted one in a previous thread before) you will see the similarities.
Other effects I would like to see are tracer rounds bouncing off the sea, land and targets at various angles - this is very clear in a lot of the USAAF ground attack footage from P-47s
Luthier posted a request several months back for ballistics information about how rounds ricocheted off water!! They apparently already had the land ricochets sorted, but were looking for accurate info to programme water ricochets.

Oleg has said this regarding the tracers:

But with the RAF tracer, in gun-cam films I've seen, the tracer has had smoke-trails which are missing from SoW. Will these be added? I think it really adds to the immersion.

Think we can take from this that there will be various types modelled, including presumably, those with smoke trails.

Also, some of the film people have provided showing various tracers are not very useful - one had so much editing that it was completely useless as a reference - Spits turned into Hurricanes, presence of FW190s indicated film shot later than 1940, clips of what I think were Hurri 2C's (?), etc.
