Il2 tracers were terrible. Oleg and Ilya both knew it and fixed them this time around.

I agree, seen it with my own eye in daylight and nighttime, at night, it's way more intense and can nearly blind you, but the muzzle flash usually takes care of that first.

if there's anything I might say it's the tracer girth at the moment. For daytime tracers I would say they are much thinner, but no dimmer at all. Same brightness, but thinner. At night, this "HDR BLOOM" effect occurs.. making them look wider

Just my 2 cents and IRL experience

Actually, this is from army footage probably, but exactly the same program I went through with the airforce. EXACTLY what it looks like with the naked eye (cept better quality-non-pixelated) and exactly how they look in CoD at the moment (yay!) But I think they're still too fat for daytime, when seeing them close to the aircraft.

Sometimes the tracers keep burning in the ground..

It's not a huge difference, but still.. It looks like a 20cm diameter tracer now, I believe it should look morel like 2-5cm max for < 8mm rounds





EDIT:

Heres a real plane firing real ammo with time-delayed fuzes
