[0874] Insurgent RPK Tracer mistake [FIXED]

[Human_001]

Hello guys. Thank you for removing tracer from Insurgents as I asked along with many others. It ought to bring some major change in feelings of game as its not so easy to tell which way the bullets are flying from.

So I found a mistake in RPK which should not have tracer still have tracer.

If I find anymore of mistake in tracer I will add to list here in first post.

CMIIW (c-mil, Correct me if I'm wrong) but, RPKs don't have tracers IRL? Not sure though...

Hi there. Thank you for the reply.

To answer your question, its because Insurgent weapon should not include Tracers to make this game more realistic. Because many people think Insurgent don't use Tracer on purpose to conceal their position. It's pretty obvious where shooters are when Tracer zips across sky from this way to that way.

Im pretty sure normal army like Russian Ground Forces use tracer every fifth round because thats what conventional army consider as tactical. Not so much if you are Insurgent trying to execute guerrilla warfare isn't it?

Still confused?

Ok... Its not like RPK have to shoot tracer round. RPK, or any gun is just simple device that shoots out lead (bullet) from metal tube (Barrel) using gas that was created when gunpower inside of cartridge explodes (when you pull the trigger).
Tracer is just another accesory that you can utilize with any type of gun, just like Scope or bipod.
So does RPK have Tracer IRL? It really depends on who uses it. If person using RPK likes Tracer, maybe he/she mix Tracer rounds along with normal bullet he/she uses. Or maybe if person using RPK don't like tracer maybe he/she never use it at all.

P.S.
what does c-mil mean?

Noted and thanks. Also I think the old style AK74s also still have tracers, but all that will be remedied in the next patch.

Usualy in army traicers have only HMG and LMG guns, couse they shoot in burst from 3-7 bullets and they shoot on 300-1000 meters they need tracers, couse they dont see where bulets are landing. For other weapons tracers are used only for night shooting.
And there is no rules wich weapons have tracers, all can have it, yes and they have every 5 or 7 bullet is tracers depands on night and day, at night they have les tracers couse u get blind when u shoot with tracers at night and u dont see shit.
I am for that that only LMG and HMG guns have tracers, we have better sound now thanks for Devs and u can hear where they are shooting from.

You misunderstood each other.

Goguapsy, hes saying that they missed removing the tracer from the RPK, not that it should be implemented.
