As someone who plays a lot of night games in Ontario, I can tell you that tracer units are only good for suppression and giving your position away. With that, I believe that they are only effective for a support role with a box fed machine gun as part of a larger force.
At night, it's most effective to roll lights out, then either bump the enemy in the dark, or go lights hard with everyone and sweep through to kill everything.
The investment some players have made into the world of nightvision devices (civ/le/mil) has proven to be the most effective in the forest, so long as your nvod is passive and doesn't require an IR source of illumination, otherwise, with the growing number of players on the field with NVOD's, you'll stand out like a flashlight to them.
Tracer units? Gimmics. NVOD's? The real worthy investment into night operations.
Also, playing in public is just about the easiest way to be removed from the gene pool.

Sounds like going gay clubbing or something.
