Enemy Bomber tracers are off then on?
« on: August 17, 2014, 08:08:59 AM »
Before I post this as a bug, I thought I would ask if anyone else has noticed this.  I have seen it and a squad mate has seen it happen.  The tracers on the bombers we are attacking are on then they are off then suddenly on again.

Anyone else notice this of late?

We thought maybe the tracer on or off might change with an added gunner but after testing, the tracers on or off go with the pilot.

If the bomber pilot elects not to use tracers, the drones still fire tracers.  It's a bug.

Tracers off.

Fire primary = only your gun fires = no tracers
Fire all = all guns fire = tracers.

Thanks for answers.  It was just a coincidence that we saw the same effect on two different occasions.  May have been the same red guy both times or both had two stage triggers.

Thanks again.

Is there any confirmed instances of defensive buff gunners removing tracers from thier belts in the real war?

If I was a gunner back then I would load my own belts for sure.
