I always thought B-17II had the most realistic looking tracers compared to gun-camera footage.
B17II had one of the most unrealistic Z-looking tracers.

Vibration of the camera with corresponding frequency to the low frame rate(film speed) of camera was a result of Z-looking tracers in some films.
Developers of B-17II didn't research well...

The eye see other than that picture in reality.

In Il-2 we used colors of tracers found in the documents for exact shells and bullets used in each modelled weapon. So in reality the tracers in Il-2 maybe some time too bright at day light, but anyway was the most realistic.
