Bomber's tracers

[frank3]

I haven't flown for awhile, so please correct me if Im wrong.

When firing the defensive armament of our bombers, it seems like the tracers come out of all guns simultaneously, making it look like waves of tracers coming out.
My question/wish is, make tracers 'abit' more random. I know tracers were placed at specific intervals in the ammo-chain, but this is ridiculous!

This only counts for firing all guns, not just 1.

I don't know, since I haven't touched the coad. However it would seem difficult to randomize it some more. However if it wouldn't occupy too much of HTC's time, I would appreciate it as much as you.

And here I thought all the gunners just had really good reaction times, or were all plugged into the Matrix.  Coding you say? 

I'm with Den here...+1 if not time consuming.

The big problem is, I think, that you'd have to code each gun(position) on each aircraft in your formation with different tracer-intervals.

Then again, I know nothing of coding and not sure if this is actually a big problem.

How about stagger firing the Guns so there not firing all at once. Have a couple fire, then switch to other guns and cycle them back and forth.

Tracers in game are every fifth round.  All guns are loaded with the same sequence of ammunition.  If the guns all begin firing at the same time, the tracers will be fired at the same time. 

Guns on bombers, when set to "fire all" per trigger pull, will fire when the target bears.  As the target goes out of sight for individual guns, they will stop firing.  This will put the bullets per gun out of sequence with the other guns when the target is again in the gun's arc of fire. 

There are so many bullets flying around, it is probably hardly noticeable.

Guns on fighters firing all at the same time have the tracers firing at the same time as well.  Have you noticed that?

That's precisely why flying the spit/hurri 1 with tracers on looks so pretty.
