EU Questions & Answers

You can see the tracers as they are flying towards your enemy or at yourself, one can actually avoid getting hit if the tracer is spotted in due time. IMO this is not right! There should be a significant difference in the velocity HE/HEAT and AP/APCR in the game. Shooting AP/APCR should give an instant hit
Question 1:
a) Will you add anything like that...?
b ) If not, why not...? As I understand it, you are using the RL velocity to calculate penetration etc.
And for tracers! IRL they can only be seen from behind in a narrow angle and not as in the game from the front. The only thing you will see (Maybe) is a muzzle flash and/or gun smoke (Less on German guns.)
Question 2:
a) Will you change that...?
b ) If not, why not...?
One could argue that there also is a difference in each country, gun and ammunition type, regarding velocity, ballistic and smoke generated, but that might stretching it at bit to much
