Tracer Feedback Enhanced
Cleaner, brighter, more believable tracer feedback.
Tracer Feedback Enhanced improves tracer visibility, scale, timing, and readability across infantry weapons, machine guns, HMGs, autocannons, AA weapons, vehicle turrets, and supported ammunition classes.Tracers stay more restrained during the day, become clearer at night, and scale more naturally across different weapon types while preserving the existing tracer identity used by vanilla Arma 3 and weapon mods.
Requires: CBA_A3
- Improved tracer readability: Makes tracer fire easier to follow while keeping the effect grounded and believable.
- Realistic day/night balance: Keeps daytime tracers subtle and makes night tracers clearer without excessive glow.
- Heavy weapon feedback: Gives HMGs, autocannons, AA guns, and vehicle-mounted weapons stronger visual presence.
- Ammo identity preserved: Existing ammo and mod-defined tracer colours stay intact.
- CBA configuration: Adjust presets, intensity, day/night behaviour, weapon categories, compatibility handling, and custom overrides.
- Compatibility-focused design: Built to work with vanilla, DLC, and modded ammunition wherever safe.
- Daytime tracer tuning: Tracers remain visible in daylight without becoming thick, oversized, or distracting.
- Night tracer visibility: Low-light firefights become easier to read with brighter, cleaner tracer feedback.
- Calibre-aware scaling: Rifles, machine guns, HMGs, autocannons, AA weapons, and heavy weapons are tuned separately.
- Autocannon and AA polish: Heavy tracer fire becomes clearer and more satisfying while avoiding oversized glowing blobs.
- Conservative realism preset: Default settings focus on believable scale, timing, and visibility.
- Original implementation: Built as a modern tracer enhancement with clean structure, CBA support, and future compatibility in mind.
- Preset system: Choose between realistic, subtle, cinematic, performance, or custom behaviour.
- Master intensity control: Adjust the overall strength of the tracer feedback.
- Day/night tuning: Control how tracers behave in bright daylight, dusk, night, and low-light conditions.
- Weapon category multipliers: Fine-tune rifles, MGs, HMGs, autocannons, AA weapons, and heavy weapons separately.
- Compatibility handling: Control how vanilla, DLC, and modded ammunition classes are classified.
- Custom override lists: Add ammo, weapon, or vehicle classnames manually if a modded asset needs specific handling.
- Debug reports: Optional tools for checking supported ammo classes and compatibility behaviour.
Tracer Feedback Enhanced is designed around preserving existing ammunition behaviour while improving tracer presentation where safe.
Vanilla Arma 3 is supported, official DLC content is handled where applicable, and modded ammunition is classified conservatively through detection, inheritance checks, and optional CBA override lists.
- Vanilla support: Works with base Arma 3 weapons, ammunition, and vehicle weapons.
- DLC-aware handling: Designed with official content and common combined-arms scenarios in mind.
- Soft compatibility approach: Built to handle common mods without hard dependencies.
- Admin override support: Server owners and players can add classnames through CBA settings for unsupported or unusual assets.
- Engine limits: Arma 3 has hard limits on how tracer rendering can be tuned.
- Unusual ammo configs: Some weapon packs may use custom ammo setups that need manual CBA override entries.
- Visual tuning: Use the presets and category settings if you prefer a subtler or more cinematic style.
- Helpful reports: Compatibility reports are most useful when they include the weapon, ammo, vehicle, loaded mods, and time of day.

- Visual feedback: Report tracers that look too large, too dim, too bright, or strange on specific weapons.
- Compatibility feedback: Include the weapon, ammo, vehicle, and mod pack if possible.
- Useful details: Time of day, map, loaded mods, screenshots, and short videos help a lot.
