So will it or won't it work on different servers?

A small plus with a big minus added.

To me it's a big plus with a small minus added, there are lots of regular joe's who like to make screenshots or movies from their online encounters.
And the guys who want to cheat in online campaigns will be cheating ingame anyhow, aswell as run secondary boxes that intercept and decode every package to display icons on a map or similar.
It's what happens in every competitive game sadly.

Ofcourse this could make it easier for them (in the case they haven't made such apps+ingame cheats allready..), but what do you expect when Maddox Games refuses to add a toggle where full switch servers can choose if tracks have external views. Especially since it's something everyone was used to and loved from the old IL-2.
