This is the hardest cheat to detect via observation. The hacker sets a radius (say, 50 meters). If any enemy unit enters that radius, an audible alarm sounds or a text alert flashes. This completely negates ambushes. A Wehrmacht player using this will never get flanked by British Commandos because their computer screams "Enemy nearby!" the second the Commandos uncloak.
: Often bundled with maphacks, these allow players to zoom out much further than the standard game limits, providing a massive tactical overview of the battlefield. Unit & Mine Tracking
Mines win games in CoH3. A single teller mine can cripple a Pz.IV. A maphacker never drives over a mine. Ever. They will micro their vehicles around a minefield they have "never seen." If you lay mines in the fog of war and they drive a perfect slalom around them, you are facing a cheater.
Are you facing a hacker, or are they just good?
