Author Topic: Hitech - can we have dark traces for Ostwind & 37mm field guns? (Read 220 times)

In the daytime, it's impossible to see where your 37mm rounds are going. They are coloured pale yellow, and must be observed against a light blue sky. Surely we should be able to vary the colour? I would make them black during the day, and yellow at night.

If you are shooting at someting and can barely make out where the rounds fall, the chances are that you are:

a) shooting at a distance you should not

b) don't know how to use the zoom features for GVs or Gunner positions properly.

I suggest you try a bit more practice with accurate artillery fire.

Didn't germans use green tracers in ww2?

you should be much more evil and turn off tracers all together

why?

What do you mean? I've just said why.

Kweassa. Hmm, I didn't say I couldn't hit things. Indeed, I got as high as Victory 18 manning the Field gun. Admittedly, the victims were mainly N1K dweebs who had flown in to vulch. I do feel that a 37mm round egressing into the distance during the daytime would look like a black dot in real life, and not a yellow one. I have been using the zoom features. I guess you're not as smart as you thought you were.

Then

why

you

complaining?

The reason i ask why is that this is a sim. IRL tracers are hard to see during the day too...

Kweassa! You jump to conclusions!

I

am

not

complaining!!!

In AH, it's possible to vary the colour of both friendly and adversary. In some games, you can choose your own tracer colours. I thought it would be a good idea for AH too.
