Hello Commanders,
We'd like to address the situation with shell tracers.
The display of shell tracers has not changed since the very early stages of World of Warships due to technical limitations. It does not depend on a specific ship, only on a type of the shell. For HE the tracer starts to be displayed from a short distance from the barrel, for AP and SAP - from the barrel.
The former technical limitations are no longer valid, but for now, we can't tell you whether the rendering of tracers will be changed and how. These changes will affect all ships in the game and the interaction between classes. For example, we have concerns that this may affect the combat effectiveness of destroyers firing from smokes. It will take time and probably some additional balance changes to evaluate the consequences of such change from all sides.
Therefore, we want to thank you for drawing our attention to this situation, but we cannot promise you that the display of tracers will be changed shortly.
We would also like to thank u/leehwongxing for the study of how tracers are displayed for different ships and shells. This helped us understand the reasons for this situation much faster.
Good luck and fair seas!
