Any reason it should be considered as cheat? Except little help in roper games where you actually can see what weapon is selected? I never do ropers, but when i do - at least 1 selff@#! per game is guaranteed, cause wave is trolling.
Just remember your last used weapon and you are fine, land mine always bring you ninja rope in the next turn, others don't.

1. Using underwater weaps in T17 will be an easier task now.
2. This might sound silly reason but sometimes you get f*cked by hidden land mines near water, many times it happened to me and others teleporting in hyst and get caught by those sneaky bastards, I think it's part of the game to bring some extra surprises.
Disclaimer: I don't think it will make someone improve anyway, I encourage the distribuition although I was just mentioning more reasons to you. This is up to MI, not me.
