JA37 AKAN M/75 missing tracers

Been wanting this for forever.

@Zyranovos
I was looking at German AlphaJet ammo belts currently and noticed something very interesting

Notice the “Practice tracer shell”?
Isn’t that exactly what you were suggesting for the gun on JA37?

i mean, they did give tracers to the AJ37/AJS37 so why not the JA37 variants as well?

I could be wrong on this

But gunpods which AJ37 and AJS37 use are based on ADEN 30mm cannon
JA37C/D use Oerlikon 30mm based gun or something? Not sure on that

Yes they are different cannons.
i ment more as a principle.

If there was a Tracer shell, Gaijin would have implemented it.

Even though, now that I think about it, Gaijin is as fast as a snail when it comes to making changes to aircraft cannon ammunition.

indeed

AKAN m/55 is a standard ADEN, AKAN m/75 is a modified ADEN with a completely different shape and ammuntion cartridge size, being a larger mmR cartridge

yes?

I mean, they’re different as in, one is an actual ADEN and the other is I believe an Oerlikon KCA which is a different gun entirely

I read that as a question, sorry!

I’m sorry for necroying but, did their 30mm have smoke trails?

I mean, it is understandable Viggens doesn’t have tracers but, if had with a smoke trail, it does almost the same job as a tracer rounds, and is better because it is far less visible.
