Maybe some stopped using it but why would you? I mean seeing as there were hundreds of thousands of pilots i am sure there are cases of just about anything , but from a logical standpoint why stop using tracers.. only reason i can see is to avoid detection easier or just playing dumb hero.

Seeing as tracers are as deadly as any thing else it would be weird if they didn't make an impact/damage.
