When flying the P-39, the cannon still fires tracers. :headscratch:

You sure that's not just because it's basically a tank round? :lol

Large hot projectile flying through the air. Look at a tank round being fired in real life, that sucker glows just as bright as a tracer.

Looks like a 'sploding Spitfire to me. What are you getting at?

That long stretched out Slinky-looking thing is what bothers me. It doesn't appear with tracers off for MGs or 20mm cannons.

Post by: TheDudeDVant on January 05, 2011, 05:43:08 PM: i just don't want to have to turn on tracers or forget to turn them on when I fly in a bomber or get in gv..

Ah I see what you mean, the vapor trail?

That certainly should be there no matter if the tracers are on or off, that round is big enough to leave one for sure. As for the 20mm's and MG's not, that's a bit messed up too... :confused:
