Have you ever being in the middle of a firefight, with bullets and tracer going everywhere, not knowing who is shooting at who? Now you will know at a glance. Red(or yellow your choice) tracer is Axis forces and green tracer is Allied forces. Easily seen in the heat of battle in any weather conditions or distance.
If you want this mod email me and I'll email it back to you.

I need to thank POS for giving me the idea. He has red tracers that he uses in snow battles. When I worked out each side had a different tracer it was easy to make this mod.

Here is a suggestion, axis tracers - blue, allied - red. In that case there is no confusion which color represents axis or allies...

Thing is: The Soviets really used green tracer ammo in WW2. Not sure if the US/UK troops did use a different color than yellow, but I've chosen to have the Allies use red. Makes the game a bit easier.

The Cmbb/Cmak tracer bmps are 300 and 301, I simply paint them red in snow games. I don't bother using different colours for different nationalities.

I tried blue tracer but it is difficult to see and as Earl says the soviets did use green. As to it looking star wars like, I think its a bit hard for a Panzer or T-34 to look like it's out of star wars :):) This is a good mod if you are wanting to distinguish who is shooting at who.
