What I am saying is that tracers are a means of helping you aim, and if a gun is radar-guided there's not really a need for tracers unless you have to use the gun in "back-up" mode.
Also one can only assume that different manufacturers make different tracers with different burnlengths, colours and strength. So why is this Oerlikon footage "evidence" ?
And isn't this the same Oerlikon 35 millimeter gun you so kindly provided us footage of? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La9pk...800DADC3BB4E03
And then you have the allmighty Bofors (hats off for the swedes, though they are pacifists :p ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h_zgA7-sQg These tracer rounds seem to produce more light than conventional lightbulbs :p
I'm just saying the tracers in IL-2 CoD seem fine. And yes I've unloaded mag upon mag with only tracer rounds and I know what they look like. Night and day. |
Second video: It's clearly visible that when the camera shakes the tracer appears wobbly. When the camera isn't shaking it's a laser.
Most clear video to show this.
