@Theta: I can asure you that Unique will wipe your butt on a 1 on 1 server as well. He doesn't need a cheat to see and kill you.
Funnily enough I had a better score than unique for half the round yesterday, and then crashed which totally pissed me off... When I came back he had already surpassed my previous score by more than half...
I had quite a few weird experiences (on Op. Cobra) like my M10 bouncing (completely, no damage whatsoever) 2 (as in two) Panther shots, and my 76(W) Sherman surviving a Stug shot from < 5 m (was a frontal shot, but whatever). Most of my shots aimed to the Panther's cupola side killed it instantly, so I guess flanking still works even with the new system, you just need a good angle, and no lag/weird hit detection (and a bit of luck).
