Tracers, second verse, different from the first

[ONTOS]

It was brought up a many number of months ago, but here goes again. Different color tracers. It would just jazz things up a bit and should not be hard to implement.

Here we go again, irrelevant criticism.

In AH2 I was able to edit the tracer file when building terrains.  Not sure about AH3.  This only applied to custom/AvA/SEA terrains though.  Pic is from a custom futuristic space war terrain I never finished.

Did WWII planes have different color tracers?

[Ack-Ack]

Did WWII planes have different color tracers?

Yes.

[Mongoose]

Yes.

  I thought, "he can't be right".  A quick search showed that there were different colored tracers used during the war.  I stand corrected.

what I think is that different color tracers would make this look like a different game. maybe not ww2 accurate but after all this is a game and a small change, to make it wow at least for a month or 2.

The "second verse" in topic line makes me wonder if the tracers had some kind of musical tone to being released through the air.

You mean musical flares?

[ONTOS]

Just wait till I come out with the third verse.
