Welcome to the Vanguard Community
These forums date back to the game's origins as the Crysis mod Traction Wars. Over the years the game and internet habits have evolved and discord.gg/vanguardww2 is now the principle home of the community.
The team continue to read and reply to posts here, but we can be contacted more quickly on Discord.
At 10:00 the tower you see, I think that is a water tower.
tracers were used in WW2
I would note that tracers weren't used nearly as much as some people would like. For ground combat, tracers were a very good way to show to the enemy exactly where your position is. Because of this, and also simple lack of issue to infantry, most machine guns in real life, and in TW, did not/will not have tracers. Tracers were really an AA thing.
Ha ha awesome
There won't be swimming in TW (imagine swimming in full combat gear), there will be smoke grenades/shells, tracers were used in WW2, and yeah, those pipes are ventilation tubes for the bunker beneath.
