tracers fly straight in real life
where did anyone think the term "hose 'em down" came into it from?

i agree, so to be honest, tracer are a little bit smaller and less brighter in day light that the one we can see in hurricane...
So, to be honest too, i never shoot with an hurricane so can't be sure

here is example of evening shooting with tracer it's look like star wars :p

yes, they are supposed to look straight. in cod, they look straight and ugly. Old ones from il2 looked better imo.

i also like those from rise of flight.

Because, you know, if they look like lasers in the videos posted, it's because of the speed at which the camera capture the images.

"Tracers in real life look like star wars lasers."

Once again, I've been AA gunner on what was basically an improved WWII design canon (the Oerlikon54) and I NEVER saw, during day or night, any "lasers", either from the gunner seat or looking at the battery from a certain distance.

@the fanboys : before saying that the tracers look in real life like lasers because "God" or his saints said it, just remember the "atomic" muzzleflashes from IL2, which were also "really real", until they disappeared.

To cut to the chase...here is the best answer (solution) to this issue that I have heard.

Selectable camera shake (view)...someplace in the config file we need a little option for "camera shake view". In "off" mode, we have what we have now...But in the "on" mode we have all the little cinematic camera shake effects that everyone is used to seeing in documentary's...mainly the tracer wobble, that everyone seems to feel is "more realistic". For the most part we have half of the camera effect view (in the game), we have the tracer streak, but not the wobble. In real life, a tracer is more like a spot of glowing color...not a streak of color.

if you are trolling dont read the rest.

if you are honest in your question, its been explained over and over again in these boards, that the curly effect is due to camera shake on the plane. you dont see the curly, and oyur eyes dont see like a camera.

in a matter of minutes someone will explain you the details of this, but you are wrong. no curly effect should be seen, the only thing I think is wrong ( withou facts or proof, jsut feeling) is the tracers are too thick.
