People hate the spotting system. We always have, but one issue Wargaming does NOT have an issue with is most forms of cheating. Most standard forms of “knowing” where the enemy is do not work - to the stage that as the game dies due to other reasons, the organized botting problem to get rewards has become more and more apparent. People run dozens of clients and then have to drive to specific places and then also be the player scoring the hits on their own “unspotted” account.

Clients are given only what the server says to tell it, it’s part of why I think the system has not been implemented elsewhere. As soon as you add this type of spotting system to anything with faster movement it would create issues. No client has all the information and every action is getting server-checked as the game plays out. It creates a bit of a funny with this because a tree will fall over, and you know a player did it, but the client is not told anything other than “put this tree in XYZ orientation now”
There are no mods to force it to show enemy positions or change the maps. No injection cheats. No wallhacks. No invincible god-mode, flight, or becoming unspottable or flying into/out of the map. No turning a single shot into a laser of damage, or unlimited magazine. No recoil cancel. No getting kicked from session like GTA or mod-menus.
