Tank drivers don't see "true" tracers.

When driving a tank, seeing your gunner shoot the cox machine gun, all the tracers have no deviation, while as a gunner, the tracers do have deviation.

Right, that's known about.

But also, as a driver, when your gunner fires the main cannon, the tracer you see is roughly 5 meters higher than it should be, even though it'll register a hit on whatever your gunner was aiming at, and even though your gunner saw the tracer correctly.

I've experienced this tanking with ColonelCool, who can testify as well. So far, we've only used the T-72 and Abrams, so those are the only ones I know of that have it. More than likely it affects all tanks though.

This bug has existed ever since .756, I think.

has to deal with position of gunner and driver i believe.

Yeah, this is a really old thing.


It's also a reason not to scold your gunner for missing - even the shells are desynced between you and him - so in fact he might have hit.
