That's what you get when people that never fired a weapon, never saw real world tracers, or never bother to document the historical data, start to "fix " the game based on a movie with Steven Segal or their gut feeling.

:roll:

Why don't you go to the library first do some research and then when you have a clue what you are doing start "fixing"?

I'm not sure if all of them are exactly right but most of them are.



"That evening, two Japanese tanks charge the 10th Battalion. "The men were quiet," records the official history, "the silence was broken by a strange sound coming from the east...when a light was seen through the jungle, an angry voice yelled 'Put out that bloody light!' It was thought to be one of the battalion's Bren carriers." Instead the Japanese open fire. The Australians have no anti-tank weapons, and take heavy casualties. The night battle is brilliantly lit by red, green, and blue tracers, as both sides open up with everything they have, amid pouring rain and stinking jungle. "


"Left) Figure 25: A sample of two paper labels to be found on both the side and the end of the ammunition boxes and ammunition containers. All ammunition boxes and containers, no matter what calibre, had these paper labels attached on the outside to identify the contents. The paper labels normally measured 7x10cm Some of them could have a green, blue, yellow or red 3cm-wide bar running across them or in the middle of the label from top to bottom to identify what colour of tracer/fuse there was within. In addition, triangles in the corners of the label in the colours of the tracers are also visible "

Historical acounts about Russian green tracers:
"Tracers came in two forms. One version burned for green five seconds and covered 1200 meters (although it was required to reach 1500 meters). An anti-aircraft tracer was also created. It was unique in that it burned red for 800 meters as it ascended, then burned green as it fell back to earth. This version was soon discarded, but the first model was kept to the present day."

Ok, Ok, I looked some stuff up, and I guess you're right. The USAAF did use red tracers, so I'll change that back. However, I'm not changing the basic colors (red will still be red, green will still be green), I'm just slightly altering the hues so that dogfights don't look as much like 4th of July fireworks displays. (or for you non-americans, new year's?).

But I'm still looking for a way to make it so that the tracers don't change colors after a certain distance- i.e. go from light green back to the original "laser"...
