Tracers on COD

From what I have read, it seems that the general consensus from soldiers is that the tracers look very real.
The tracers here look just like what I have always seen and cannot wait to "play around" with them once I have CLoD on my PC.

The German allready got a grip on you?

Go find the older thread about tracers that other people here told me to find. You have been posting over there, and denying anyone who don't share your perceptions to be a valid source. That's why I used the term "alleged" on the first place.

Not gonna lie RPS, I'm gonna take Choctaw's testimony here, since I don't know whether you've seen tracer-fire first hand. Have you?

I have to admit that after watching tons of WW2 guncams and modern tracer
movies, my comments about COD's tracers are:

When they are at their initial position close to the pilot's position, they are kind of too fat and a bit square. In most WW2 guncams, the tracers seem to "light" up further away from the plane , so few milliseconds after firiing...They look also more like a string of light, rather than a LightSaber...
When they reach a certain distance, they look good though...And the smoke trails, from the bits we saw, seem to look very good...

Salute !

I am not denying anything, only pointing out that during my time as a Paratrooper in the Infantry I have seen tracers in person and those complaining about them have not.

I suppose that people see what they like to see.

I don't see a rectangle when looking at tracers, but it appears that a lot of people do, and are incredibly happy with that.

Oleg is a professional photographer that is also used as a consultant for photography. I highly doubt ANY individual on these forums is more qualified to weigh in on whether or not a photographic or film example is accurate as compared to reality.

You know, this is just a bit more than photography alone. But him being a professional of photography, he will be the first to admit that guncam films are really far off from what you really see with your own eyes. You will need a much more faster camera than the ones placed on planes, and more sensitive film, to reproduce something similar to what you could see with your eyes.
You could not reproduce the fade out effect on film. It actually shows you exactly the oposite. It fades to the lead, instead to the path.

By the way, Star Wars lasers, only exist on those films. And I still really prefer for them to be kept there.
