As a fellow tracer user, I have found that in AH3 my shooting is far off. The tracers and hit sprites are much harder to see... I wish I wasn't a tracer reliant shooter :( I noticed if I want to make the shots I make in AH2 I'm shooting about 30% more rounds... It's depressing :cry

I don't know, I think at first it seemed wierd but I don't really see any differences other than smaller sprites. That being said, it seems the bullets actually work for me when I shoot someone, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

I can't get the cute girl in my Music Theory class to look at me, now thats depressing. :cry
In the middle of the class just stand up and yell, "Hey everybody! Look at me!" Problem solved. You're welcome.
Tracers- They do seem harder to see, same with hit sprites. Not sure what to make of that yet.

Nope, my hit percentage has actually gone up in AH3 but then I don't use my tracers to aim, I use the gun sight for that.

IMO those players who use the tracers in AH2 to adjust their fire on to the target are going to have to relearn how to shoot a bit - I said this weeks ago, and have been waiting for other players to get into the beta and say something similar, and Jo being a known player with good accuracy saying much the same at least confirms it isn't all in my head, or just on my end.
I've found that I have to get MUCH closer than in AH2 to get the same results in terms of accuracy - gone are the days of my high angle long range shots which made up a significant portion of my shooting. It's not really a "bad" thing either, just a "new" thing, I think it'll come back, at least I hope so.
I find this really interesting right now. I think it breaks down like this in the game - primarily two types of shooters, those who use the sights, or A sight, and those who focus more on the target, like a point shooter would. Sight users will be little affected as they aren't focusing on tracers, or even the target, but on the sights, which is typically/usually the "proper" way to shoot anything. In this game however, many, myself included, focus on the targets and the tracers. I tend to blend them, get a sight picture based on experience and the situation, and then fire and switch to a more point shooting sight picture, focusing on the tracers/target and look for sprite impacts to verify I'm on target. Those who do this, who use the sight/sights initially and then stop focusing on them and look more at the target/tracers, will undoubtedly IMO have some issues with the new beta/AH3 tracers/sprites/etc. Those who focus on the site and ignore tracers/sprites (having them off too of course), and keep the sight more in focus than the target aircraft, won't have to adjust much if at all.

I visually track the target and try to be aware of my 'sight' in the periphery & don't use tracers. What kind of shooting technique is that? What do clay pigeon shooters do Gman, do you know?

For about 9 years I flew with tracers off and during that time I read as much as I could (still do) on gunnery and practiced offline quite a bit and in the TA with the LCGS, learning the proper lead with the sight. Forgot what reason but I turned tracers on and found that it was really no different for me aiming than with the tracers off since I wasn't depending on the tracers for aiming. It also should go without mention that a good gun sight is very important.

Right now in the beta, for aircraft tracers, if you really need them that bad, set your FoV 80-100. I just spent 30 minutes with fov at 95 and it seems the overall average best to see tracers from all the fighters and have some peripheral vision. You don't really need zoom at 95 other than finding ground targets. Using the historically accurate reticles (1Mil = 2pixel) works easily between 80 and 100. Getting into larger FoV just use a dot with maybe one for rockets or go to zoom when you shoot. As you get above 100, the reflector plate begins to get darker and the tracers proportionally smaller. You will have a sense of them out to about 400, but trying to see them individually is a waste of time right now.
Hitech and Skuzzy's message to us after we killed Kenny was along the lines of: You are here to find bugs and report them. Not try and find work arounds to them during the beta.

IMO though, FOV doesn't really resolve it all that much, even 60 still looks and works much differently than AH2, but I too have found 95 to be something I've gotten used to shooting with through a number of hours spent shooting drones, and having always used the small death dot have figured out most of my new shooting cues and angles. They have changed, no question, but it's not impossible to adjust to it. Just takes some time.
