Ok, first off, for tracers to show in the film viewer, they have to be on ingame at the time the film is recorded.
Actually, my 'felt' gunnery worsened wiht the 'code smoothing' patch. But checking my hit% on score page, theres not really much of a drop in performance.
Did you change your 'usual ride' lately? shooting guns youre not used to? Im not only talking about the difference between MG and cannon, but also for example between N1K and Hurri2C. They both have quad 20mm, but the ballistics are *much* different. Since youre flying with tracers off, youre relying on your 'gunner eye' for aim, thats basically a good thing, but a change of ballistics would throw you off bigtime. (Im speaking from sad experience here
)
Then it also might be a convergence question. Do you have conv at the usual 'target distance'?
Connect problems? Netstatus smooth while playing? Ping details on startup sceen OK? Packet losses?
Another suggestion i got: Try swiching tracers back on for a while.... see what happens. (I have to admit, when i followed that advice my hit% dropped from a solid 8-9 down to 1-2, so im tracer-off for good - but that doesnt mean it cant work for you).
Last but not least: Go offline, kill yourself some drones - from all angles imaginable. Might be boring, but certainly is good practice. Fly the circle clockwise (opposite of drones) to practice deflection shooting.
Im not an ace gunnery wise, but i hope that helps you a bit.

PS: And no, youre not the only one that cant hit a red icon from d200
