Replay system would truly uncover the mysteries of cheating and show the extent or lack of it

Obviously the servers probably wouldn't be able to handle it rn but maybe adding a replay option to raids like insurance where you can pay peacekeeper like 5,000 US dollar for a drone to record your raid or something. It could work like the player unknowns battleground replays. Maybe the way the game is programmed would make it impossible (I'm not sure I'm not a game dev). Honestly for the people who say it's not realistic in my opinion your PMC resurrecting after every death is even more unrealistic.

Everybody notices the true positive cheats where you have super sus ass mfs shooting you through walls and instantly knowing where you are when they shouldn't. It seems like a lot of cheaters these days with VoIP are actually European or American and not asian though I'm sure there's a lot of asian cheaters as well. VoIP had to be released for me to recognize that. I wonder what mysteries would be uncovered if a replay system was released.

Right now if somebody had an invisible cheat along with a speed hack and didn't interact with pmcs nobody would even know about that cheat existing. What if there's a cheat where they are walking underneath the map or something. The only cheats that get reported here are the super obvious ones and I wonder what the true extent of cheating is.

I play on West Coast us servers and I've done 75 raids this wipe (5th wipe) and I think I've only encountered a obvious cheater one to two times but I wonder how many raids actually had cheaters. There has been some occurrences where I had no idea how a person knew where I was but that was borderline and they could have just been good. A replay system would make cases like this more evident and you could make a decision whether or not a person actually had ESP by seeing if they approached loot or pmcs they couldn't even see from far away.

Honestly like there's more issues in the game as well like simply banning cheaters and detecting them, new content, and optimization so in my opinion a replay system shouldn't be a huge priority but it would be pretty cool to have. I think it could make a lot of people better at the game also by examining other players tactics and routes.

Maybe even just seeing a video recording of each pmc's perspective until they extracted or died would be really helpful and I think that probably wouldn't be too hard to program compared to full on 3D replay system (I'm just a full stack dev so idk)
