This may belong in the mod forum, but it's sort of dead compared to here, and it does apply to both.
I've gathered that tracers don't ignite right out of the barrel. That they become visible tens of meters out.
I believe this is already modelled in 3.3. Am I correct?
The reason I ask is I remember previous releases really pointed "back" to the MG a lot more. And since either 3.2 or 3.3, the tracer upgrade (translucency, etc) made it harder to spot the MGer by following the tracers back.
I really noticed this when pathetically playing sniper on Red Square yesterday, and I couldn't find the origin of the MG fire. Tracers seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Out of curiosity, how far out do the tracers ignite?
Thanks
