investigating Coaxial machine guns of several tanks are missing tracers

[Wychmaster]

I noticed, that the coaxial machine guns of several tanks that had tracers before are now missing them since one of the recent patches. Can't tell which patch exactly is responsible for this.

Here is a list of tanks, that are affected:

- M1A2 Abrams

- Leopard series

- Challenger 2

- Merkava

I guess the reason why other tanks are not affected is that all the named ones use a 7.62mm coax, while the others have a .50cal coax.

I see them internally, but the newest release candidate still doesn't have them, so I am looking into it. Thanks.

In my experience all weapons firing 7.62 or similar caliber no longer have tracers visible in the current open beta, such as MTLB. .50cal or similar and higher still have tracer visible. Infantry still always seem to be using tracer.

I actually think it looks better and these weapons generally engage over a short enough distance that you can adjust fire by observing the round impacts.
