In most WW2 guncams, the tracers seem to "light" up further away from the plane , so few milliseconds after firiing...They look also more like a string of light, rather than a LightSaber... 
When they reach a certain distance, they look good though...And the smoke trails, from the bits we saw, seem to look very good...

This all depends on the tracer type. Some tracers lit in the barrel. Others lit a few feet away after being fired and others lit even further away, out to a couple hundred meters before they lit.
The typical WW2 tracer lit in the barrel causing the streak like appearance upon exiting the gun.
As far as the tracers to appear too fat, Some of them may appear to be a little on the fat side, but again, this all depends on the size of the hole the tracer is burning through, plus its apparent brightness. The brighter it is, the fatter it looks.
Perhaps "brightness and fatness" are an option but I doubt it.
