Tracers Rounds (From SimHQ)

"but, I might be wrong there..." was in regard to shooter's position, as it's probably different to observe the tracer effects when firing from the shoulder/behind the gun from the one position where you sit in the cockpit above the guns, as in aircraft.

Not really, I remember having seen the canons firing from some distance, even outside the gunning area, never saw any "lasers".

LASER:

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

The tracers in COD look nothing like lasers, lasers are focused continual beams of light, not individual bolts of energy.

Tracer rounds in WWII planes are meant as an aiming aid, so they're quite obviously visible from directly behind so that the gunner can see where his shots are going. Of course it the streaks lengthen as you move out to the x axis and they're moving so fast the eye behaves like a camera shudder creating glorified streaks.

In real life, this is exactly the contrary. The nearer the bullets are from you, you could perhaps see some kind of "light line" outside the canon tube, but when the bullets are far from you (especially true at around 800-1200 meters) the tracers look like dots moving quite slowly.

My only complaint is that they look too white and too bright.So Im pretty sure that's gonna be fixed soon after release,maybe by the devs or maybe by a modder.

Isn't that the main logic behind tracers?

Hopefully not by a modder.

I just watched several videos of tracers shot at night and during the day.At night they do look almost exactly as the videos we have seen already from the game.But during the day they look shorter and obviously not so bright.But I havent seen a white tracer, most are orange.Maybe during the war they were white??I really dont know.
