We talk on FACTS and EXPERIENCE, whilst you don't follow the forum rules (i.e. not looking for already discussed threads BEFORE posting new ones) and above all you have NO idea of what you're talking about. It must be really sad to be you buddy..

Facts and experience ? So if like you said you read all those threads about tracers, you would have come to the same conclusions :

Experienced military expressing facts are saying : close to RL, but still to bright, too long and too fat based on what we have been shown and have seen on video of the game play.
In his comments about tracers, Luthier begins his thread by saying that COD's
tracers are perfect, but could be tweaked for color, brightness and size...
So , we all agree that they are perfect but need tweaking ...That is all...
And please... keep cool...

Salute !

By the way...It is true though that watching the video with "corrected" gamma
gives a overall much more photorealistic impression. It is kind of in between COD's original "overexposed" and "overdone" WOP...Nice one...

Cool vids and discussion
I don't want to voice an opinion of how similar (or not) to real life, for fears of getting a bat to the face, but I'd just like to say that i like the effects when shooting (with my bf109 anyways).


Off topic:

Im agree, it looks like some poeples here believe only in A or B choices.
I mean , most of the peoples agree that tracers can be described like a laser, but there are a wide range of ways to do so.
My point is that its not a matter of opacity, its a size matter, and i would increase the brightness in the core, and create a slight glow around it.
But i know my words will be losen in a typografic sea....

also, i think that the tracers disapear too much soon in the distance, in oposite to what we had in il2, were tracers were visibles form far distances before the planes.I would like somthin in the middle.
