tracers color

[USRanger]

I know a way, but it is only possible to use one color for all tracers atm.  So all would be red or blue or yellow, etc. Also, it is terrain specific. Only one custom tracer color per terrain (with what we have to work with now).

One thing I'd also like to see regarding tracers is distiction between regular and smoke traces. Right now all traces leave a well defined smoke trail. In real life there was spme slight somke emission from .50 cal tracers for example but nothing as clear as we have in the game and same goes for rifle calibre rounds. Germans for example widely used smoke tracers. MG151/20 smoke tracers left a clear and thick spiraling smoke trail. MG151/20 rounds leave spiraling trail currently...it could be a bit thicker tho. So in short I'd like to see the smoke removed from weapons that didn't typically fire dedicated smoke tracers.

Wings of Prey uses different colour tracers, the effect is way cool.

My Grandpa told me that their 30 Calibers shot Red,White, then green tracers in order.   NOTE He was in the Marines. Not air force.

Some thought should be given to those who may have difficulty seeing certain
colours of tracers (IE: those who are colourblind, old farts).

Perhaps a check list in preferences?
---Tracers---
[ ] Original (current)
[ ] Historical
[ ] Custom

Custom would have a drop down list, similar to the current individual sound levels
list. It would include all types of weapons and tracer colours. Possibly categorized
by Country -> Plane -> weapon platforms for selected plane.

Good footage of the smoke tracers used by the Luftwaffe:

.50 cal tracers:

Some smoke trails can be seen but it isn't IMO as prominent as in the game.

i do have issues seeing my tracers in certain situations but it has more to do with the cloud layer 'washing out' the yellow tracers. would settle for all tracers being the same color but user specified.. red-orange would be great lol

maybe i need to learn to aim w/o them? ahaha

I wish to choose my tracers color.


 

+50, I've always wanted blue tracers streaming out of my Dora.

the colored smoke is cool, but is there any way to changed the color of the actual round? (the yellow part)

[lulu]

Smoke colored. Not for me.

I thought to be able to change thew yellow component of the tracers only.


 

[Flench]

Yeah ,  the gun powder should burn the right color .

[USRanger]

Best I could do with what we have.  I don't see anybody else jumping in.  Good luck with yer wish.
