For such a tiny community I highly doubt that anybody is cheating. The regulars who play often know what is possible and what is not. Part of the problem is most of the people who are accusing only fly the aircraft for one side, so they do not understand the capabilities of their opponents machines. Any multiplayer game there are people who will push the game to the absolute limit of what is possible, far beyond the understand or ability of the average player.
Also, I have played multiplayer games on Steam for a long time now and besides games developed by Valve (CS, TF2, L4D, etc..) I have not seen any indication that VAC is effective whatsoever. Red Orchestra had a small community and VAC enabled servers but nobody was ever caught by VAC even though we had known cheaters who were caught in competitive play by watching their demos. Even Valve games, where VAC should work, still aren't 100% protected. I played on a competitive TF2 team in several leagues and little did any of us know that our sniper was cheating. Not until after he head shot several cloaked spies in a match was he caught by the community, not VAC.
Anyway, there is like less than 200 players actively playing this game online. Cheating is not a problem currently but ignorance is.
