Lacroix Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 do you play with vanila tracers or with moded (veins/aris) more subtle ones. and why? do you see that they impact gameplay alot? or general visibilty of the happenings on the battlefield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I use veins. They look better. Stock ones looks like laser beams at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze Skunk Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Modders made a huge and beautiful work for these games, so why do without it? I used veins effects V3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used veins effects V3. well i am asking because of gameplay. not seeing clearly those tracers can have impact on gameplay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amedeo Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 BTW, it would be nice to have different tracers' colours for the two sides. I miss the green Soviet tracers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLynn41 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I too would like colored and I use Vein's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I use Veins..another massive vote for coloured tracers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball_E8 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yeah, I'm using Veins too. Aris' are good, but I just prefer Veins. Was thinking of trying without any tracers just for fun, but I'm guessing it'd be really really confusing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Tried it..not fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Also use Vein's Special effects v3 but replaced the tracer to tracer v 3.1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holman Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I would never eliminate tracers. They're more than eye candy as they indicate your soldiers' sense of where the firing is coming from. In fact, when your troops are ambushed and really don't know where the firer is, the game doesn't present a tracer at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor Malan2 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Subtle Vein's ones. If I want to know where fire came from I go to the affected unit (view 1 or 2, locked to unit), and the tracer is easily enough to give direction. If not, I accept it as fog of war. As soon as you zoom out, only automatic fire is visible, and only if you look hard, which is how I want my battles - stock tracers make Star Wars (iv) look subtle and underplayed on weapons fire! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizou Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Best way is probably to play a few battles and test the different options. That way you will find what you preffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go and see the Fury film at the pictures then ... I was expecting them to be strafed by the Millenium Falcon based on the laser like tracers that were winging around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Vein's tracers all the way! They are SO much more realistic looking than the stock ones. I use the longest ones as they are easier to see. +1 for an additional color per side. I used green, and red in CMx1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Why is it after 14 years we can only have one set of tracers? What is the issue that prevents BFC being able to code a set for each side? Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Malan2 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Because, like me, it never occurred to them it was needed? I work on the theory that the incoming ones belong to the bad guys? Or are you after 'realism'? In which case where is the 'tracer only on high velocity tank and AT guns? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It's been requested a hundred times, so, it's not just me. That and sometimes I can't tell whether they are coming or going because there is an optical illusion effect. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
