Sounds highly reasonable. I can say without a doubt that from all angles I couldn't see them. :rofl

Post by: Slate on March 08, 2012, 08:21:17 AM: Ditto no tracers, thought they had tracers turned off and said to myself "those buff drivers are smart" :uhoh

Post by: thndregg on March 08, 2012, 11:01:07 PM: Confirmed after a squaddie & I tested it out. I always have my tracers on, but they did not show tonight.

Post by: PFactorDave on March 09, 2012, 07:39:22 AM: They seem to show for the bomber pilot as he is shooting, but the fighter pilot can't see them.

Definitely needs to be fixed.

Post by: Chilli on March 09, 2012, 03:39:43 PM: :furious I was making my 2nd spotless run over an enemy airfield when I notice Killhound in his enemy B24s just below me. I saw our paths might intersect, but I was dead set on keeping my head in the Norton sight. GaBoom!! I lose a drone and quickly reset my salvo to compensate. I pin point my target and drop, and immediately go to my tail guns, but no threat there. I grab my nose gun position, all the while my formation is pinging from lead all over, and see Killhound is 800 of my low 1 oclock (no tracers) :headscratch:

I start standing on my fire button and see all 3 of his 24's light up like Christmas trees! :O From that point on, it was the wackiest formation versus formation battle that I have ever had, including at least one almost HO pass in which I lost another drone, but on each pass I saw his 24s get lit up for some pretty good wallops :rock Finally, I lost all aileron control and retreated the best I could using rudder, elevator and throttle. I made it home to my field and on the runway just after I received the confirmed message on 2 of Killhound's 24s. :D

I am thinking this gonna be epic when I land these...... and the dang B17 won't stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I brought her down so smoothly that she rolled off the runway and back up in the air for an instant and then without aileron help............. :confused: Well, I sure botched that up ...... GaBLAM!!!! TOWER!!!

:salute Killhound that made my day. In this instance the no tracers was a plus! :cheers:

Post by: hymi on March 10, 2012, 01:34:09 PM: no tracers on bombers on my end either in the main arena, seen the same thing during FSO last night.

Post by: mthrockmor on March 10, 2012, 02:04:12 PM: This needs to be fixed. Plenty of video from WW2 showing tracers visible from all spectrums. Maybe they make tracer every third or fifth round but...
