and I really doubt people would be willing to put any handicaps whatever on their super duper top of the line systems to make it a real level playing field.

Better systems do enhance play Billfish. In this there is no doubt. I have gone online with sub-par systems and really good systems and the difference was like night and day.

@Stalkervision

are you really implementing that only people with "sub - standard" systems use these Hacks to even out the gameplay?
When i still was playing ADW even people with high end systems tuned their systems way down to get an advantage in spotting the enemy earlier.(I stopped playing there because of to much Hack - Cheating)
Usually at 1024x768 (native for IL2) with 16 bit color and all effects at minimum settings.
At these settings even a "sub - standard" system runs quite well.
And for the internet connection you also mentioned somewhere, a lag is a lag is a lag and no hack will change that.

best wishes
