Not sure how they can beat the vpn thing - someone from Japan could dial in to a vpn jump spot in Europe and from there join Europe game servers - game server will see low ping but tcp package travel will be crazy (at least that is what I have been told from someone).
One nice thing would be to be able to see other players ping towards server - like previous battlefield games. I know that BF 5 is unplayable if you have 20 ms and other players on server have 300 ms.
So delay / lag compensation is one thing - cheat is something else but compared to BF 5 - this game does not have much cheat going on !

I'm on console and playing with crossplay off, but also there these issues happen. Suspect deaths where it seems like you are 1 shot killed, mostly caused by netcode issues. On consoles you might encounter players using a input device that allows scripts that will cancel recoil etc. but in general I appoint my suspicious deaths to netcode and sync.
I am a too mediocre player to get cheating accusations and I have the stats to back that up 🤨 Yet in BF2042 I did receive my first ever PS message of somebody accusing me of cheating. It turned out into an amusing conversation, where the ignorant mf did not want to believe me, regardless of me explaining it probably was a netcode issue. He was suggesting me using an input device to control recoil, but when I pointed out my stats don't back up such claim he still didn't cave in. I told him to report me if he was so convinced I was cheating, and then he turned the conversation into stat boasting. I told him I couldn't care less about those stats and play for fun, another argument for not having to use a mod device, but instead he kept on insulting and making fun of my stats vs his. Finally when I told him that now knowing I had killed such a "good" player and receiving cheat accusations for it was at the pinacle of fun for me, and if he was so obsessed with his stats he probably should spend less time on messaging random players and do some more stat padding he blocked me. Mission accomplished 🙌
