"Changed the look of tracer rounds."

Anyone notice what the change is?

Looks the same to me...

If anything they made the diameter of the smoke trails narrower.

They seem to be smaller diameter, and it may just be me, but the hit sprites also don't seem to be as big and bright as before.  Overall, I like the new effect, even though it's not a real noticeable change.

only thing I have noticed is that when you fire from a tank, the glowing round turns into a plus shape after a few hundred feet.... other than that.... not noticed much else

The tracers rounds on the Osti are a lot more visible than before. prior to change the osti round would disapear or be really "light" and hard to follow after a couple hundred feet (except when it's evening).

you guys don't see the difference?

they look far more realistic now. the tracers are smaller, slightly dimmer, and more yellow, and they look better. they have a smudged tail, they look like real tracers instead of lasers now ;) i think they look great.

Tracers do not distract me as much now.  Nice and subtle.

there are tracers?  Next you guys are going to try and tell me that you can actually land for "score/rank" and that there are other planes other than the P-38.

Ive n oticed the Traces in the pintle gun in a T 34 look like Cannons now, and seeing ack from the town looks pretty hellish, but a bit more realistic. Wtg HT
