What a tracer should look like (before spazzing just look).

If you are not old enough to drive or don't own a car, ask your parents or friend to let you try this.

Find a not so smooth road.

Look forwards when moving then use the screen mounted rear view mirror to look behind you.

The mirror vibrates the image slightly but when you look forwards there's no vibrated image, this is how a WW2 camera behaves when filming guncam it cannot replicate the human eyeballs capability to stabilize the image.

You can keep one eye on the mirror and one eye forwards for the effect.

Now add tracer rounds to this and you will realize the eye ball sees smooth lines and the mirror camera would show wiggles due to vibration.

That's a perfect example, well said man! I suppose it won't change some people's mind, but what we have with the sim now is a phisically accurate representation of what it looks like to the human eye, if you want a guncamera effect I have nothing against it, help yourself to learn the modding possibilities and good luck!

Has this actually took 15 pages to prove this point?

Great the resistance to learn is, in some people

That depends on the severity and frequency of the vibration. The human eye processes visual stimulation at a far higher rate than an 1940's camera but it is not immune to disruption through vibration either, only less prone to the level of vibration experienced during a car ride over a rough road.

There certainly should be some kind of blur effect added at least.

Yes, yes it has.

Frightening, isn't it...
