Tarkov studio claims it actually doesn't have the server capacity for everyone who bought the game for $150 to play its upcoming PvE mode, still wants players to pay extra (www.pcgamer.com)

Sure, the absolutely most blatant stuff can be detected, BUT

No buts. Tarkov does NOTHING to address even the basic stuff. There's no buts at all. You can't say "there's still hacks" when Tarkov is literally filled to the brim with hackers. Nobody ever claimed serverside is perfect. Quite the contrary. But holy fuck would the game be a fuckton better if they at least did literally ANYTHING.

A serverside anticheat could absolutely detect impossible flicks (autoaim). Especially since they're too consistent.

But the point is that Tarkov has become a shit-filled game because of the rampant cheating.

Fairfight is an interesting example to take. Siege is a much better game comparatively. It's proof that serverside works... and can work in real time. Except you claimed that would be impossible.

Edit: I'm calling Siege better in the aspects related to this conversation. You only run into cheaters on rare occasion. When I played Tarkov it would be damn near EVERY map.
