Other communities are already devloping "cheats" as MG/cannon mods, FW bar mod, etc.
And I bet there are also FM mods around....
But these "cheats", along all mods, cannot be used online if the host puts "checkRuntime = 2" because the game detects that a different executable file is present client side.
If we could repack sfs files, we could use the original Il-2 executable, so that would allow using Checkruntime=2 in mod-enabled server, and use the "AAA official mod pack", but still keeping out the "cheaters" that cannot repack sfs files and so have to use the modded executable file.
Of course the problem arises if "cheaters" become able to use the sfs repack, but this has always been true and is still true today...
For online playing, having an "official mod pack" is the only way IMHO.
