Adding color to tracers and color splashes would be very realistic and would really add to the game. :old:

I recall asking for that when I first started playing the 88. It was shot down, I was told multiple times it wasn't realistic.   Even if it was realistic, I don't think I would go for it.  #1 Would make using and identifying your 88 round (explosion) too easy, takes 1/2 the challenge away. #2 In any war film I've seen it wasn't a sky full of rainbows, it was black.    Not attacking you, but I think it should just stay the way it is considering Gun Ship or Field "anti-air" 'puffs', including 5in.

I am all for the multi colored tracers, due to having seen them in documentaries. However, I have yet to see any showing colored puffs, and again, even if they did, I think it would make it too easy to use the 88/5in, and it's already easy enough.
If we have something to show we will & do post shots, if we have nothing new to show we don't.

it wont really matter when a base is under attack and you have so many planes around that it looks like a rainbow covention.

This I agree with.  We don't see ANY ricochets at all
I see them.
