The World of Tanks forum had more than its fair share of players who'd 
scream cheat at the slightest thing. It didn't seem to matter how many 
times it was pointed out that the pretty much all the calculations were 
done server side. Was there a mod. that removed foliage, yes there was 
but all the spotting calculations were done by the server so it doesn't 
really help.

The bigger one though was the game was rigged against them because they 
had such uber tenk skillz.
