More realistic machine gun tracers?

Perhaps some kind of "ray of light" near the tube, but extremely rapide and very transparent, certainly not solid "Star Wars" lasers. And in the distance, tracers looks like some kind of irregular dots.

Chris I served in the Army and shot with both M2 50cal and MG42 (although in 7,62 NATO ammo). We used tracers regularly and the ones in CoD are by far the most realistic I've ever seen in a game. You're posting videos of cannons that are not using tracers or whose ammunition muzzle speed is way too fast.

As that is not enough, there's been an extensive research on the subject, the conclusion is that 1) you're wrong 2) we're right. Have a look at the fantastic video on the Wellington posted on the main page to have an idea of how realistic it all looks.

Now you can either accept this and go back to your closet or put your head in a pan, smack it with a spoon and go NANANANANANANANANANA!!!

...whichever your option, don't forget you're wrong.

If I may, since I took part in the few previous threads regarding tracers, I would like to remind you this:
In conclusion, what experienced military have said on this forum is that COD's
tracers are pretty good BUT, they are a bit to bright for daytime, a bit too long and "fat" . They should be more sting-like.
And about COD's tracers being to "steady and equal" ( and I am not talking about the camera squiggle effect), the best thing would be to find in the hundreds of WW2 guncam movies available on the web, just 1 that shows a spit or a Hurri, or any kind of plane with those kind of tracers...

Salute !
