Tracers move too fast

[CWMV]

Sweet jesus...
Ya tracers look really pretty from the sending end or a distance. Hell watch some of the footage from the taking of Baghdad and you'll see all these pretty tracers floating up into the sky...
Until your on the receiving end. If anything the tracers do not move fast enough in game. In real life they look like they are moving at the speed of light.
Its really a sickening feeling when you get lit up for the first time.

one thing needs to be said though, tracers' trajectory, esp with the heavier calibres, didn't correspond to the actual bullets trajectory, as they would have a different weight/muzzle speed.

I guess all credibility has been destroyed by posting that link of "AIRSOFT" tracer.

Here's an idea.... go and watch real gunfire and real tracer before you make posts as an "expert".

You obviously have NO IDEA what real tracer fire looks like, and has been said before, slow going out and insanely fast coming in, coupled with the sound.

Who cares what the video is. Tthe footage is real yes? Fact is , ingame you fire 303's and they are going at light speed. It's complete crap.

We care. You are comparing in game .303 with that video, in which projectiles are 5-6 tmes slower than real .303 and weight way less,so loose speed very quickly.

now that's a valid explanation, supported by adequate evidence, isn't it?

That video doest and can't carry any weight in this thread...

However on a side note I'd like to see the tracers re worked slightly and not so straight looking

Yes they know that they are too thick and can't seem to be able to change that but perhaps if they were made a bit more tear drop shaped then that would look better (and before someone jumps on me I do know that water droplets are spherical ).

Oh the footage is real, but it is of a bunch of virgins out playing soldiers with expensive 'toys', I have only just managed to supress the tears from laughing....every time I heard the mouth breather say 'viper 6 going into position' on RT I just creased up, but I digress, 6mm glow in the dark plastic balls have no similarity to .303 or 7.9mm MG ammunition, given that tracer rounds are loaded intermittently in a belt...say every 5th round is tracer, the 6mm bb's were all glowing......maybe they might look more akin to a stream of rounds from a high RoF weapon like a gatling, but of course those bb's were flying across distances that were litterally within stone throwing range, check the shilouetted figures on the horizon.

Way to be a douche. It's actually pretty funny that a guy who hangs around on a gaming forum all day actually talks XXXX about people who DO get outside every once in a while.
