I didn't know what would be the best area to post this so I will just post it here. Basically there were "some strange things" happening in the server, so I started checking the logs and 1 of the things that I noticed was:

[12:15:11] CREATED;SOLDIER;1500059101;CnC_GDI_MiniGunner_0;-56;-31;0;-179;100;100;1;{DtP}ST oNErOmEGa|L

[12:19:40] DAMAGED;VEHICLE;1500071644;CnC_Nod_Harvester;-22;59;1;-112;1500059101;CnC_Sydney _PowerSuit_ALT2;-17;93;11;-174;80.000000;485;233;4285

As far as I can see this basically means:
{DtP}SToNErOmEGa|L (ID 1500059101), shot the nod harvester multiple times in a second, as a sydney prototype, am I right? (aka cheater)

Where's the damage in this? Is it the -95 and -112? That would be strange too: different damage... Normal is 80.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I'd say the 80.000000 is the damage. Aren't those the co-ordinates of his location (the numbers you are talking about)?

Did u check if he had a low ping? Severe lag can also make all damage arrive at once.

Ok, Slave checked something for me and these are indeed the co-ordinates.

[12:19:36] DAMAGED;VEHICLE;1500071644;CnC_Nod_Harvester;-9;64;1;-95;1500059101;CnC_Sydney_P owerSuit_ALT2;-8;95;9;178;80.000000;580;540;4251

harvester = Y -9 X 64 Z 1 F -95
stoner = y -8 x 95 Z 9 F 178

Resulting in the following image:

Either way the RoF seems rather high, considering the PIC takes about two seconds to reload, you wouldn't normally expect someone to lag so badly that it takes 6 seconds for shots to register. I would suspect he is using some sort of RoF hack, but the proof is by no means conclusive.
