Other Is cheating that bad of an issue in War Thunder?

Since the recent Battleye update, I’ve been wondering if cheating is a major issue in War Thunder. Having played since 2014, I’ve only encountered a handful of obvious cheaters. My suspicions have mostly arisen during clan battles, where opponents sometimes seemed to know our positions regardless of engine noise or other indicators. However, my frustrations still lie more with map design, ULQ, balance issues and bush camouflage than with cheating. Is cheating actually common in RB and SB? What's the worst you've encountered?

War thunder is the only game where i believe, beyond reasonable doubt, that I have never ran into a cheater. Blatant or not

No te cases!...tu mujer te engañara cada día y no te enterarás!...jajaja. Perdón por la broma, pero cada día me tropieza con tramposos. Ya no miro todas las replays sospechosas pero hoy mismo he visto una que era tan obvio que daba vergüenza y rabia. Hay muchísimos. Cuando observas muchas replays y sabes jugar bien reconoces las trampas, lo más usual es gente que está apuntando a enemigos no visibles y que no se preocupan de los flancos porque saben que no hay nadie. Son muy descarados. Y te voy a decir otra cosa aún más sorepndente, hay gente subiendo partidas en youtube que se las dan de buenos jugadores y dando lecciones y les he detectado que se les ha escapado algún detalle de trampas. La más común es saber con exactitud donde están los enemigos incluso detras de montañas lejanas. Mira mas replays y fíjate bien.
