Hi Marek
What are the other cheats?

Like using cheap soft-skinned vehicles for suicidal recon-by-fire

EDIT: @Brummbaer, I don't PBEM for any ladders, but I didn't meet a cheater head-to-head yet. That is, if I don't consider having better tactics than me as cheating

Hi Marek
Well its all about definition I guess, Soft Recon is possible but maybe unrealistic. Artillery hitting unseen targets is -IM- possible so by definition unrealistic. Id call soft recon a tactic not a cheat. Also a PBEM opponent will see your use of soft recon so in the next game playing field is level once more. However the artillery "cheat" can be masked by using two guns out of sync. So a PBEM opponent may never catch on and so be at a permanent disadvantage compared to those 'in the know'.
I think its by far the biggest blemish on the game and that it would be a real bonus if it were fixed.
Best Regards Chuck.
