+1  :aok

In addition, if I may add, to be able to select tracers on/off for every plane/vehicle, so we don't have to switch them out every sortie.

Perhaps adding a tracer/no tracer 'option' underneath the 25% fuel, above the newly added weight/fuel time load out feature?

Not trying to hi-jack, but I figured they are both about tracers, so they relate.

Just my thoughts.

Respectively

uhh Tinkles, considering your hit percentage stats, you might want to consider leaving the tracers on...  :uhoh  ...just a thought  :old:

I keep the tracers off for two reasons.

#1.  It gives me a split second of lag, which most of the time, causes me to miss my target.

#2. The enemy shouldn't need to be guided to my rounds.

number 1 is easily fixed with a graphics adjustment.

never worried about number 2...long range shots weren't part of my bag of tricks...(then again I was on the receiving end most of the time  :lol )

Never did understand why unlike with each aircraft having an individual setting for gunsights and convergence, we were limited to a global setting for tracers on\off. And additionally with each aircraft that has two modes fighter\attack there wasn't a check box for auto select so if you add ordnance to your aircraft you launch in attack mode by default. Each bomber has the check box for formations.

Has the game evolved past the original rational for some of these things not being available?
