I understand Oleg. I guess you can compare this to any muzzle flash. (From a rifle for example), whereby it cannot be seen in daylight, but produces an orange fireball at night.

Flash Hiders: WWII aircraft had Flash Suppressors? (Flash Hiders only disperse the flash when you are looking down the barrel,) which allows the shooter to see through the flash. When looking at the barrel from the side, the flash hider does nothing. I would like to see the reference to WWII aircraft having flash hiders.

Yak-9K had recoil compensator working on the partial redicrection of muzzle flash. It was also reduced by this way the muzzle flash itself. Without this recoil compensator the recoil was some 3,5 tons force, - with compensator about 1,5 tons. Muzzle flash was reduced from 3 meters to almost 1,7 meters (measurements were taken on a day light for muzzle lash.

On some experimental German planes in the end of the war also used such recoil compensators.

Registartion of the size of the muzzle flash on film camera depending of the shutter speed and spectral sencitivity of the film.
With speed more than 1/16 sec muzzle flash sometime was registered completely on some types of films. For the gun MK108 it will be up to two metrers size in flight on the speed of 350 km/h.
On the same speed on Il-2 the muzzle flash size of 23 mm cannons is 1,7-2,3 meters leight
And it is is present even on a daylight black and white film

Really it was discussed in the past and some modern military guys confirmed this...

One developer did traccers like on gun cameras, that are looking like letter S.... This developer didn't make the research why the gun camera registered such effect... and simpy copied it in a sim... but it was incorrect. Just for example.
