The ones you see in the videos are tracers from a naval .50cal (M2HB), which has a variable rate of 450–635 rounds/min, less than half of an RAF spec version, which had 1200 rounds/min. Muzzle velocity of the .50cal is 2,910 ft/s (890 m/s), the RAF spec .30cal was around 800 m/s, so it's a slightly slower bullet, but the rate of fire is twice as fast. As for the colours, if memory serves the RAF used white incendiary/tracers, but I'm trying to look for the info source on this. Last edited by Sternjaeger II; 07-30-2011 at 08:52 PM. |

No amount of postings of videos of night shot tracer videos have any bearing on CloD tracer effects.
These videos show how tracer can look to a camera at night The tracers in the game are trying to simulate how a tracer looks to the eye during daylight. There is simply no comparison. |

With all due respect,I think people could express an opinion on this matter ONLY if they saw tracers in real life. Lying about it is just silly and counterproductive me thinks. |

I stumbled upon this vid today. It shows tracers during the day and at night from the same vantage point on a LAV.
The cameraman pans around during the shooting and I believe this give the best impression yet of what tracers really do look like as the camera seems to record very close to what the human eye sees or at least what my eyes have seen.

I one you all for get is that all of the modern weapon that are shot are showing shots that are over 1500m or more were in the game most shot are only 300m to 500m so they look a lot faster, also tracer and incendiary round in modern armament is a lot different to what was in 1942 and they burn brighter and longer.
Here footage from spit in ww2 and you ahev trouble seeing the tracer rounds this one from P51 and you don't see a lot of trcer rounds

Another thing that "experts" don't probably know is that nowadays there are three kinds of tracers: bright, semi-bright and dim. Once again, please bear in mind the RAF standard order of the era: "Browning 303s fire 1200 rounds per minute, that's 20 per second. As mentioned above, what you see also depends on the number of tracers loaded. If you have a tracer every 5 rounds then that's 4 tracers streaking away every second."
