It can help show where you're hitting. It significantly improves accuracy. to show the gunner where his shots are going, but due to differences between the regular ammunition and the tracers it usually is only somewhere close. However, it DOES show the enemy exactly where the shots are coming from! This decision must have been made by a politician.
