The tracer-rounds, of course, would be in the shape/calibre of the round required to be fired.

The incendiary ammunition was also variable in performance. Comparative British tests of British .303" and German 7.92 mm incendiary ammunition against the self-sealing wing tanks in the Blenheim, also fired from 200 yards (180m) astern, revealed that the .303" B. Mk IV incendiary tracer (based on the First World War Buckingham design – it was ignited on firing and burned on its way to the target) and the 7.92 mm were about equal, each setting the tanks alight with about one in ten shots fired.

Why the (same) weapons sound are different?
The 50 Cal of IceFire video sounds to blow a person away,but at Xilon 50 Cal video it sounds like kid fireworks...

And BTW,is there any plans to add infantry to SoW,Oleg?

Wow!
The WIP video of SOW makes Il2-1946 look very old, especially considering that Il2 is fully mature product.
Who was flying the Hurricane? I was screaming at them to use a bit of rudder to line up their shot properly (I hope they were inaccurate on purpose and turned away to hide the damage modelling on the He111 )
I also noticed the first frame had the propellor frozen and gauges at zero. They quickly snap into action when the video starts playing and bounce around for a while. I hope this doesn't mean an airstart will automatically overstress the engine components (I've had this happen a few times in Il2 in sensitive planes such as the Me262 where an airstart has jolted the throttle once i've made an adjustment and exploded the engine). I'm certain that Beta testing will reveal any flaws like this.

The first time i played Il2 vs 1.2 (many years ago) i was astounded at the 'realism' of it. With each weekly update i am becoming more certain Oleg and his team will astonish me again.
Good luck at the trade show guys!

Very Good work Oleg&Co!

Microphones on consumer vidio cameras have a very limited range compared to proffesional ones and vary in their capabilities. Also the noise is too loud or if a camera is too close to the sound source it can be pushed beyond their range.

There are other factors such as in some video's are in the open field and the another (with the flares) looks like it was shot from the deck of a boat (sorry - ship!). From the ship you would get echo's from the hard surfaces which would completly alter the sound.

Cheers!
