Will we ever get armor piercing rounds with tracers?

Will we ever get armor piercing rounds with tracers?

 

i am not completely positive with this. i believe by virtue of the composition of the AP round there is no room for the tracer element. another choice would be to load ammo 1 per 5. one tracer round and then four without. gun is firing so fast one would not know the difference.

Just to put it out there:

 

The current ammunition available for the DCS F-16C, going off of the 2.5.5 stable are:

  • HEI-T (M242?)
  • HEI (M56A3?)
  • AP (M53? though that's API)
  • TP-T (M220?)
  • SAPHEI PGU (PGU 28A/B?)
  • TP PGU (PGU-27A/B?)

The only ones that are traced is the HEI-T round, which I think is an M242, which I think should have an orange/red tracer (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) and the M220(?) TP-T round.

 

And second to what silverdevil said, I think the only way we're getting AP with tracers is to used a mix. Hmm, I wonder if we could get user defined ammunition mixes...

 

On another note, can ED rename ammunition to include the actual name of the round used?
