I know the reality guys are gonna have a fit with me here, but is there any chance we can increase the frequency of tracer rounds that is fired from one in every five is a tracer to one in every 2 or 3? The reason I ask is especially for the guys who like to lob taters out of the G10, since you only usually fire in short bursts of 3, its hard to have a good idea where the shots are going. Feel free to discuss, and my mind could be changed, I would just like to have the frequency turned up.

Thanks!

Not sure what you're asking for here. Tracer rounds every second or third shot from the G10's guns??

Or tracer rounds every second or third shot from any gun??

Just curious

Yes the big cannons tracers should be switched from every 5th to every 3rd.

I'd like to see the tracers a bit brighter, especially on osties
and field guns. When you have any sort of cloud layer, they just
disappear to me.

A choice would be better than an immutable change.

Just for guns of these calibers I'd like the frequency of the tracer rounds to be moved up. It doesn't matter what plane they come from just as long as it is that caliber. I can see how you could read that differently.

I understand what your saying Howitzer, as being in the Air Force and being an Ammo Troop, I have seen it fired first hand. If you have only 32 rounds you don't want to lob out 5 of them when your off target... kind of a waste. I agree with you on this one.... so the 'reality guy' in me is stepping aside for the moment. Change the tracers!!!!

Well, in RL the tracers could be set anyway you liked. A common setup for Marine pilots in WWII was tracer, AP, Incendiary, AP, Tracer, Which is 1 in 4. I agree witt the large cals beung set at 3.

It would be nice if this was a setting in the load out. I'd like to have tracers for the low caliber guns like the 303s and the 7.5s and not on my cannons. Would like to be able to set tracer frequency also.

Yup, I'm dreaming, I know.
