idea: tracer ammunition - just add magnesium

when they swim out of range of the spotlights, the buggers in europa's ocean can be a bit tricky to keep track of with your eyes glued to the periscope. sure, your captain could call them out with the sonar, but magnesium burns underwater, and burns really bright too. might even kill the captain's job of keeping track of the hostile wildlife

lead, steel, aluminium, and magnesium for a box of coilgun ammo that'll light them right up, maybe even literally once they get into a breathable atmosphere.

thoughts?

Homebrew: Tracer Ammunition

Hey there.

I'm thinking of creating some tracer ammunition. When hitting a character with them using with a CQB, Cannon or Rifle weapon that deals kinetic damage, you confer +1 accuracy to your next ally who tries to attack that same target.

What do you think of it? How would you design this? For now, I have two ideas, even considering taking both:

  1. A limited system (3, probably), costing 2 SP;
  2. A Core Bonus (GMS, probably), granting this bonus permanently to one weapon.

Again, what do you think?

Edit: Corrected the proposition.

Tracer rounds should be applied to the ammunition not the blueprint

As per the title, I should be able to use the stock weapon or any other blueprint apply the ammunition with the associated tracer to use that tracer round. I shouldn’t need the entire blueprint. Point being I like the stock look of weapons but also want to apply some of the different tracer rounds I have. Same way you can apply different skins for weapon components if you use the ammo from a tracer blueprint it should come with the tracer rounds.

1776 M4A1 Tracers disappear when trying to change ammunition in Gunsmith Customs

I really love the 1776 tracers on my M4A1 but am definitely no fan of the 60 round mags that come with the 1776 blueprint.

While I am able to change to any desired optics on the M4, as soon as I change my ammunition to my prefered .458 Socom rounds the tracers disappear.

Is there any way to change your ammo without losing your tracers?

Background of tracer ammunition

Hello,

I saw a colored video of world war 2, where you could see axis and allied machine gun fire. One thing I noticed was that all nation's had they're own tracer color.

How was this color chosen and is there more to it than just differentiation to the other nations.

Thanks in advance.

Tracer ammunition of different colors.

Battlefield Night Operations looks very cool, but it would be even better if you change tracers in teams RU and CN on the GREEN.

>In NATO standard ammunition (including US), this is usually a mixture of strontium compounds (nitrate, peroxide, etc.) and a metal fuel such as magnesium. This yields a bright red light. Russian and Chinese tracer ammunition generates green light using barium salts.

I hope that the developers will heed and make a colorful night fights.

P.S. Sorry for bad english ;)
