to get a more "reliable" source for tracers looks have a look at more recent wartime footage on youtube. The tracer bullets haven't changed much in the years, so what you see on recent footage is just like what they used to see 60 years ago. My opinion is that they shouldn't look "solid", maybe the textures should have some alpha applied, in order to give it a semi-transparent look. A feature that we really miss though (but I guess this is a code thing) is the bullet ricochet. It was a common view to see the machinegun bullets, being FMJ, ricocheting on hard paved road, railroads, tanks and so on, and this is easily visible on wartime footage.
