I also did better when I turned the tracers off. For me, it forced instinct shooting rather than looking at the tracers. With them off, I was using the reticle rings and canopy frames to lineup shots. I was less likely to do that when I had them on. For me it was automatic, pretty neat.

I recommend trying it to everyone. Give it a few hours to get used to it.

After a few months I turned them back on because I missed the pretty lights, but benefitted from things I learned with them off.

I usually keep them off since I can’t hit anything with them on anyway.

I always thought the server side CM file suppressed any admin dot text commands unless your logon credentials were "Hitech". Or Hitech has a special version of the game and ours don't have those controls in the code. Who would be silly enough t leave something like that laying around to be found...... :rolleyes:

After a good stick stir kill they always, always, ALWAYS message "I was AFK."
:aok :rofl Yup! Almost like with a pilot wound. YOU will blackout on final approach! I tend to laugh at this. I am a relative noob but I still know better than to flop around. They slow down and make it impossible to NOT get saddled up. Love those guys  :devil Thing is...even folk that I believe dont need to do this, just end up getting killed because of it. Most times its against planes that could easily stay out of my reach. Just plain ole funny
