Title: Tracers, second verse, different from the first
Post by: ONTOS on July 02, 2019, 04:40:41 PM
It was brought up a many number of months ago, but here goes again. Different color tracers. It would just jazz things up a bit and should not be hard to implement.

In AH2 I was able to edit the tracer file when building terrains.  Not sure about AH3.  This only applied to custom/AvA/SEA terrains though.  Pic is from a custom futuristic space war terrain I never finished.

Did WWII planes have different color tracers?

Yes.

  I thought, "he can't be right".  A quick search showed that there were different colored tracers used during the war.  I stand corrected.   :salute

what I think is that different color tracers would make this look like a different game. maybe not ww2 accurate but after all this is a game and a small change, to make it wow at least for a month or 2.

The "second verse" in topic line makes me wonder if the tracers had some kind of musical tone to being released through the air.
