No, I meant that the tracer wasn't inside a bullet that was meant to inflict damage...

The RAF used tracer rounds, but these weren't meant to inflict damage and were not like bullets. They were belted in the same way, though.

I am not sure if I am misunderstanding you. A tracer bullet is a normal bullet, with a cavity in the base that has a small incidery that burns a certain colour.
In characteristics they will try to match the ball and api rounds that are belted with it.
But it certainly hurts, it certainly damages much like any other round in the belt would.

I'm sure that after the 4th-5h SoW add-on and as improvements are implemented, it will look 9 years better than IL2:1946

What i'm trying to say is, i doubt the engine is running full tilt because there's no PC that can do it yet, just like it was with IL2. So, comparing 1946 to WiP SoW is comparing an engine that runs at the top of its capabilities with an engine that runs in testing mode...hardly an accurate way to measure things.

Wise words
Agree...

Heston Aerodrome was the base of No. 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit.

Repairs and refurbishment of Airspeed Oxfords and de Havilland Tiger Moths were carried out at Feltham or London Air Park but also major assemblies for Supermarine Spitfire, Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle.

The Brooklands site was used for military aircraft production, in particular the Vickers Wellington, Vickers Warwick and Hawker Hurricane

It's due to Oleg's not-up-to-date PC I think/hope.
Let's hope nvidia donates one of their high-end cards, so Oleg can show us the potential of his baby.

Well i haven't had il2 loaded since the beginning of the year and i have to say how cartoony il2 looks now compared to the WIP on SOW.
I think SOW is looking a being a bit special.

...and therefore carried a smoke trail behind(?).

Maybe we're done here anyway.
