You need to add muzzel flash it would be so much better

maybe every 3 second there's muzzel flash or some thing like that

Muzzle flashes don't really show in broad daylight. However you can sometimes see them on a cloudy day and especially at night time. Also would it be appropiate to have colored tracer rounds? Don't most NATO rounds create red tracer rounds while russian made ammunition creates green?

What I understand by your "every 3 second" would be a tracer round every 3 rounds fired.

There're a lot of details that are being worked on. I don't recall if this particular detail was one of them. Even if it ends up not being one of them, I wouldnt be surpriced to see it in the future

Terranova also makes a point there. And btw, all those excesive muzzle flashes are seen in movies. RL weapons are not as "LOOK I AM HERE!!" as Hollywood ones

flashes are in 0.3, also on my map ildar island you will see colored tracer rounds.

No, it wouldn't be better.

Like someone said before, the only time you'll really see muzzle flashes is at night.

As far as I know, only LMGs and HMGs have tracers, not your average rifle. Am I right in this assumption? I've never heard of an M16 with tracers.

DONT LIKE MUZZEL FLASH !! it covers up ur screen like in vBF2 and u cant aim while in Iron sights cuz of the lights.....hate that !

Yeah you can use tracers on an SA80 which uses standard NATO 5.56 mm but it scares the **** outta you if your not expecting it on a range!!

Biiig red flash! You'd only use them on a night mission if at all....

I wonder if ETQW couild handle tracer rounds, cos i know it does headlights, dynamic lights and other amazing stuff.
WE all know how cool a "real" noght battle could be, but we can only dream for know.

I heard of tracers placed as the last 3-4 bullets in the magazine. So you know when it's time to reload.

They're mainly to assist with accuracy. If you're firing at bullseye and you're missing, you can adjust accordingly to the trail of the tracer rounds. Like someone said, they're mainly used in machine guns so they can get the best accuracy by adapting to where their rounds are heading, but they're also used to calibrate scopes and stuff. With BF2's random accuracy physics, there's not much point using them, especially as wind conditions have no effect on anything, but it'd still be a nice touch.

Well, tracers can be much useful to instantly mark the enemy's position, instead of shouting to your mates where they should look at.

Malik · Post by **Malik** » 2006-04-29 14:28

And tracers are equally good at marking your own position.

Dedmon already added tracers and flash to his map-Illdar Island. If you want to see what tracers would look like in BF2, go download it.

Muzzle flashes are in 0.3 on certain maps - the maps where you'd actually be able to see them in RL. Tracers will also be making an appearance

ok I was found it weid at first

Your actually not on point on this one. I had tracer rounds for my M-4. At first I had one tracer for every 3 rounds. But then it got crazy dirty when I fired it, so I just stuck 3 tracers in the bottom, and loaded it up with regular rounds.

They are used to signal where the enemy is at. And slightly with accuracy. You can always put in a tracer as your first shot and get an idea of where the round is going, so you can account for wind and **** like that.

You usually get your accuracy off a range shooting at targets. And they are used in almost every weapon, except for handguns.

And i've never seen anyone calibrate a scope with tracer rounds man. That's just rediculous cause wind, range, and the trajectory of the rounds will mess that up.

And nowadays you don't even need tracers, unless you don't have nods and IR lasers. Those take care of the job at night.

Oh well they are implented anyway maybe for some of the later builds nods and IR lasers can be implented.

It'll be cool, and we still use them because NODS are powered by batteries that die. So it's backup in case.

And besides, NODS fail when the sun goes down, or when the sun starts to come up. You can't see shit.

DEDMON5811 · Post by **DEDMON5811** » 2006-04-29 20:07

part of the reason tracers are used in night battles is that you can't see shit through iron sites when its dark. Tracers allow for you to see where you rounds are going. Most recommedation when putting tracers in magazines is ever 3rd or 5th. Alot place 3 at the end of the mag so they know when they need to reload.

tracers are used in all munition sizes. m16 or saw or anything.
