Suppressor effects on gameplay

Suppressor effects on gameplay and stealth was unclear to me throughout the entirety of Weekend 1 of the Open Beta. It remains unclear to me whether the suppressors have any effect at all beyond a slight reduction in emitted noise and in some cases recoil. Furthermore, suppressor usefulness seemed hampered by the inability to get rid of your bullet tracer component.

I'd suggest more descriptive texts on the effects of using (various) suppressors on more of a gameplay level as opposed to their effects on the weapon itself. I would also very much like to see options for tracerless ammunition, whether subsonic ammunition, removed tracers, or removed tracer when used with a suppressor.
