Tracers ON/OFF

[GADGET]

This is an old discusion I had with PYRO about 2 years ago, concerning WB.

I wonder if it would be possible for the programmers to come up with a "tracers on/off" option. It would be nice for several reasons: first of all, framerate would improve; second, you won't give your position away to your pretended victims; thirth, it would be easier to see where your bullets go, whitout all that smoke in the way.

This tactic of removing tracers, was used in WW2 whit great success.

Beyond that, being AH a new generation in simulations, why not being the first in including a customizing a tracers menu... for instance 1 tracer every 5 bullets, or no tracers and 5 tracers for the last 50 bullets, etc... U get the idea. Even farther.. would it be technically possible to customize ammo??? For instance: 3 API, 2 incendiary, 1 tracer, etc...

What u think seniors????

The possibility pf using their personal ammunition mix has been used quite frequently by pilots in WW2. It would be great if it could be implemented, but I fear that it will be quite difficult to implement it in the game. (Maybe not?   E.g. if you choose a mix 2 AP, 1 HE, 1 Incendiary and 1 Tracer every shot has different effects on different parts of the target.
One high explosive 30mm shell right into the cockpit should turn it into a bloody mess where you have to search for pilots parts, a incendiary right into a fuel tank would paint a big fireball at the sky...
I wonder if the engine can handle the differences when we all are able to change the ammo mix.

To heck with customized ammo, just gimme an option to have every 5th bullet a tracer. Would be fun to have the tracers outined as spinning end over end lines too instead of the little blocks they are now.

Sparrow right now every 5th bullet is a tracer. But i do plan on implementing a slider to adjust your tracer ratios.

HT,

Thank you, Thank you,

Question: Will the slider allow one to select less than 1 in 5 being a tracer???

Another Question: Will one be able to drop the amount of tracer fire to none???

Oh cool, EVERY 5 th one is a tracer?!
OMG, I thought I was having the worst firing rate in the world, this explains it! Now I won't be as afraid to blast at someone flying between my tracers.
