Vickers Mark VI
« on: 02-10-2010, 05:10:23 »
I noticed the vickers machinegun tracker bullets dont match the actual ingame bullet trajectory. The tracker falls sooner than the bullet touches the target, thus making aiming with the main cannon harder. Anybody else notice that?

Moved from suggestions to bug reporting. Can someone verify or deny?

It could be intentional, tracer rounds tend to have different ballistics than normal rounds fired from a same weapon.

It is true that tracer rounds behave differently than normal rounds in real life. Tracer rounds usually have different composition, mass, aerodynamics and thus different ballistics.
I've read that during the Pacific air war the US Navy did an experiment to remove tracers from fighter planes. Supposedly this greatly improved accuracy, as the pilots were less influenced by the 'misbehaving' off-target tracer rounds.

However, I'm not sure if this is intended in FH2, it could be a bug.
