Try 65 rpg with the 109's 30. And lower muzzle velocity.
No tracers are fine once you learn how the gun handles....or if the gun is easy to handle to begin with. But to learn, especially when you have little ammo and low muzzle vel, you need to see where your rounds are going.
With the 30 in the nose, I often can't see whether I missed below or above, unless I have a blank sky as the backdrop, am flying totally straight and level, and I focus really hard on the tracer itself.
I really don't think it was that way in real life. The tracer should jump out at you unless you are flying into the sun. Again, I'm not asking for something unrealistic...just to emulate the real situation in the best possible way. Hot pink sounds absurd on the face of it, but I think effectively it is most realistic.
