no tracers visible from field gun when you have them off
« on: April 21, 2012, 11:00:51 PM »
It is pretty hard to get kills without tracers on in a manned ack.  The bigger problem is that the enemy can see your tracers even when you can't.   :huh :rolleyes: 

This is especially annoying when you actually want tracers off in a field gun: as in when there is a swarm of vulchers all over the runway.  I shoot down one plane and as he's tumbling to the earth, ten other vulchers who saw my tracer stream (that shouldn't have, being that tracers were off) killed me before he hit the ground.  :bhead

Ideally, I would like to see a tracers a selectable ammo load out in the hanger. This way each vehicle or aircraft could have their own individual settings.

I think tracers off for 20mm or less is A-OK.  At some point the round is so large (30mm+) that you are gonna see it fired anyway.

And +1 on that idea too.  At least move the current tracers check box to the hangar so switching back and forth wouldn't be such a hassle.
