It has been said few times in this thread already that there are no plans for re-encrypting the game.

Well, I'll have to agree with you now, one of us doesn't know much about CRT.

Quite opposite I tell you again that unless the communication between server and client gets encrypted in an effective way, you won't get rid of users of the famous online "Radar" cheat, no matter what encryption you apply to the game itself.

Encrypted or not there is always a way for cheating but it is easier to cheat when one important layer of code integrity protection is removed. Do you really believe that CRT can't be bypassed?

I don't get what you mean. Please express yourself clearly.

Let's see if this will work. Imagine that you have two houses,one with lock and one without. Who will tell you that both houses are equally safe? Maybe those who are blind and don't see the difference, maybe those who don't understand the purpose and function of the lock, maybe jokers ? But from all of them thieves have biggest interest in spreading the false information because their gain is the biggest.
Same analogy applies to the game too.

Spot on, people have to make decision and play what is most fun for them. Who says that they have to play Il2 at all.

IMHO, re-crypting the game will do only harm. It forces modders to (illegally) copy TD's works and implement them into their mods.

They are not forced to do that.They choose it
and that's what they do no matter if game is re-encrypted or not.

I do have full faith on TD work too, but unencrypted game is the way to go.

You are not exactly right here, encryption and modding doesn't exclude each other. Preventing cheating is only small part of what encryption does. In Il2 problem with modding is that game was not designed to support it and that's where most of the problems arise.
