Lately, many talk about Map Hack.
The now public I found strange because the artillery spam.
So I've looked at several times and now I have the feeling that an Allied player is using a map hack.

Guess who. :-)

I will then dissolve it.

Who are the players

[Bear]

This player had noticed me,
when he was with me in a 4v4 played as Axis.
I had never seen a "good" players advance with a Stuka in the fogand then, to kill an ATG or other enemy units from behind.
A Vanpire cant see a atg.
And even in this game are advance units in the fog without regard to possible losses.
True to the motto: Skill is when luck becomes a habit, it seems working well now.
This surprised me.
But I'm not sure,...

You can see ATG if they are not placed in cover - Just hover with the mouse aroud the field and suddenly you will see green cover in
a open field, which is the indicator for a ATG.

You can scout vehicles just with the audio (Or when crush objects and listen to them for them if they move or not)
and you can scout infantry just by there movements and sounds in the fog of war. Didn't watch the replay but I will check it out soon. And there are some other nasty exploits to scout for mines and stuff.

Information gathering is still possible in the enabled fog of war but it needs a lot of skill and practice and time, but in the most
cases they are just cheater/abuser/hacker.

[Bear]

If I am with a unit a few meters in that fog is this trust death or serious injury.

And even if my P4 was spared during the repair, oddly, I find the behavior of iwikHazPewPew in the now highly charged movie extremely strange. Always taking into account the nebula.

I watched the first replay.

You just had a poor game that time Bear.

Just so you know, Maphacking is when you can see the enemy's units even when they are in the fog of war.

Finally, at the end of the first replay you complained how they had 10 barrages within 10 minutes. Each RCA player has 4 offmaps (2 Earth Shaker, 2 Airburst) as well as their artillery pieces. Take that into account and 10 barrages in 10 minutes is laughably easy if you throw everything at them as fast as you can.

Yet to watch the second replay. Will do shortly.

[Ahnungsloser]

The first one wasnt's suspicious. You had just some bad luck and it's normal das RCA barrages will go across the spawning area to get a luck shot
a fresh incomming troups.

In my opinion the same fits for the second one.

[Tymathee]

Also RCA has an area awareness they may have seen you with.

[PonySlaystation]

The Koreans play infantry doctrine with the military intelligence unlock.

[Hicks58]

From the replays here, I haven't found any obvious signs of foul play.

If you want the sort of things you should actually look for, check the replay I posted in disputes and keep an eye on the artillery usage and the current state of the fog of war - Particularly late game where offmaps are used and scouts are dry.
