Title: Tracers
Post by: ONTOS on August 19, 2014, 10:59:04 AM
It's been brought up before, different color tracers for the different countries as they were used in WW II.

-1 IMO I don't think it's necessary for each country to have different color tracers. What exactly was the reason you wanted this?

I'll listen. :)

Just to add more stuff to the game for the hell of it. As if the graphics update isn't enough. :rolleyes:

Is this something the skin makers could tinker with?

Major 'Bloody Bum' Murdoch could tell by the color of the tracers flying past from his six o'clock that it wouldn't be his wingman, 2nd Lt. Billy Joe Bob, shooting him down today.

If someone makes a map, I'm pretty sure they can change the colors of the tracers to whatever they want. I don't think it can be made plane specific or even caliber specific but I've never gotten that far in the map making process to try.

We don`t "need" better graphics either, but it would be nice.

I did not mean "country specific tracers". There were different color tracers and two or more countries might have the same color. I don't think adding this would overload the system.

I dont see the point of color tracers, since according to everybody  we only fly ponies and spit 16's and a few 190'ls.

I fly everything except the spit 16, the LA7 I only fly once or twice a tour, the brew unless I'm offline or doing tests in it in my custom arenas.   :)

Wonder how many unintentional kill shooter pilot woundings and kills will happen to your countrymen while everyone is chasing around a single con on the deck over the field or town?
