Perhaps some kind of "ray of light" near the tube, but extremely rapide and very transparent, certainly not solid "Star Wars" lasers. And in the distance, tracers looks like some kind of irregular dots.

Would it be safe to consider that radar-guided AA guns don't have the same requirement for visual aiming aid as a manually aimed gun? I mean honestly, tracers are seriously un-tactical considering that they are a very visible give-away to any aircraft looking for action.
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?
And then you have the allmighty Bofors (hats off for the swedes, though they are pacifists :p )
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.
