How do you get the game do draw tracers more frequently?

[Not Atlas Anymore]

I'm trying to play the game without cross hairs because they help me hit more of my projectile arcs and aim instinctively, but this method sucks ♥♥♥♥ for anything hit-scan because you only get a random chance to see the bullets that come out of your gun.

How do you force the game to give a 100% chance to draw bullet tracers without going machina sniper?

Hitscan is instantly though
Also why are you making yourself suffer

It's because the true center for a bullet's trajectory is off from where it goes in a 3D space. Placing a 2D crosshair on top of a 3D environment constantly resets your depth perception, this is why I turn off the crosshair, and why you can hit more pipe shots with it off.

I know that hit-scan is instantaneous, but the point is to use the shots you DO SEE to adjust the accuracy of the next shot.

That's not possible when it's random chance to see them at all.

Bullet trajectory? Hitscan goes in a straight line.

Cool, but a lot of weapons have first shot accuracy.

Why would you need tracer ? Just don’t shoot randomly at a fast pace

I believe Valve removed the option to color the tracers in TF2.

I'm playing without a crosshair, and I'm not shooting at random or at a fast pace.

It is enabled already, the problem is, is that the bullet tracers are not always rendered. It is dependent on chance at the firing of your gun.

Yes they are accurate at the first shot, however they have a incline bias, or whatever term I should use, the line of the bullet starts at the right side of the screen much like soldier's rocket. If you're in close range your bullet will often not hit where you want them to go.

It's a discrepancy between your first person view model and the one that others see.

I know there already is a setting to fix the issue of view models, however that is not what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying see where my bullets are actually hitting, and hoping there's a setting that alters the render chance of tracers.

Then your video settings must be set too low, as I can see them all the time.

I filled out an excel sheet to log progress on my accuracy for direct pipes on tr_walkway.

So It does work for pipes.

ALL hitscan weapons fire from the center of your screen (player's eyes). The tracers are not an accurate representation of the bullets' trajectory. If you want to lessen the "bias", use min viewmodels. You cannot make the tracers appear more often.
