Since it seems we might be having a civil discussion I'll chime in. My gut feeling, yes, there is cheating going on. There was cheating going on before this whole debacle though. Is there MORE cheating since the mods, maybe, but if there is I think it's still a very small amount. It's possible that it may increase but I doubt it. Most people who play this sim are into it for a specific reason, be it flight simulation (as this is one of the best on the pc), or history buffs. Either way most are in it for realism and acuracy, those that are in it mearly to beat the other guy either don't stay in long or are not worth fretting over as they are very sad individuals indeed. I may be a little pie-in-the-sky about my opinions but I think the vast majority of people who play il2 don't want to cheat, heck, most want it HARDER. Those that want to cheat will be rooted out and won't have anyone to play with, they'll go back to thier shooters and cheat there eventually.
To review, yes there is cheating, yes it's possible to make more cheats with the mods, no it is not a plague of cheating, people will not automatically cheat just cause they can, those that want to cheat cheated before and will cheat after.
