Gajin is not touching insanely good players. Years ago i reported a cheater (with full recording), he was insanely good, but the only thing what Gajin done, it was warning me against slandering (yup) a perfect player from a Russian clan. Moreover that guy was so blatant, that he even twisted my nick and used is as his own (my was and is Rohen and his was Roen).... So no one will tell me, that Gajin is fighting with cheaters in any way.

[@Alex-jm9ef]

If I told you that it is an inside job would you believe me

[@craiglortie8483]

you should see how bad ab has gotten! the one death players and cheat mods has made it impossible to play anymore.

[@SebastianWaldkirch]

seemingly EAC works. Elden Ring got downvoted because the chinese could no longer cheat. So GAIJIN is not using it properly.

[@vaultraider1]

I do not think it has been updated in years, which does not help the EAC situation.

[@IloveJellow]

the difference here is EAC is only being used as a management program they are not actively using it to detect players.. they built their own software that was checking whether the stats matched up with previous stats before and if the % of stats that increased seemed odd or not right it would auto ban them which was very successful. here in war thunder you can't quite do that here since its an fps game still so there are no hard stats to check like in elden ring.

[@RedVRCC]

EAC is not hard to bypass... The elden ring situation is probably because no one bothered to make better cheats for it yet. Most cheaters don't make the cheats themselves, they download them from somewhere. World of tanks has a completely different in-house anti-cheat specifically made for the game and it still doesn't stop people. EAC doesn't stop people in war thunder. EAC doesn't stop people in VRChat either. As long as there's a big enough demand for it and someone willing to create it, cheats will always find a way through unfortunately, and games like these two examples just so happen to have a big demand for cheats.

[@thepolishnz]

@@RedVRCC Wargaming also goes by a 100% server side system so its hard to manipulate info. if the server doesnt think you are there, you arent there. makes it alot more prone to bugs and rubberbanding, but it was nice to know its like less than 1% that it was a hacker and more just some Chinese or Vietnamese wallet warrior that killed you

Just today got killed by at least 2 Cheaters shooting through a Forest and killing me from about 1km away through at least 8 to 12 Trees.

[@oldie-se]

People spread this stuff. The more players close their wallets and limit their playing time, the sooner the snail will be forced to react.

[@Armcock]

Unfortunately that's not enough, spreading it that is, you can tell 100,000 people not to play, but I guarantee the cheaters will still log in, regardless of how many bans they get.

[@dingusbingus7463]

We need a group of people to track the money trail through the cheat developers to see if gaijin is directly involved, as some people say they have to be involved financially for as many cheaters to stay in the game and for as long.

[@oldie-se]

@@Armcock That's why I'm in favour of a shadowban that ensures that cheaters are banned to a server where they play against bots and their ilk without being told. Let them play, let them pay. Enough time will pass before they realise that they are playing against other cheaters. And even then ... what are they going to do?

[@oldie-se]

@@dingusbingus7463 I do(n't) want to know how deep this rabbit hole really is.

[@Armcock]

@@oldie-se 100% agree, only lasts so long, once they realize the jig is up. On the flip side since gaijin uses their own client alongside of steam, they should be issuing vac bans and hardware/ip bans. If they can't use the client to log in anymore then hopefully no more recycling accounts. Granted spoofers are getting ridiculous, they aren't bulletproof. Cheating is in such a state that there are teams dedicated to maintaining these cheat programs and ensuring they have very little downtime. It has gotten out of control. As the person below me stated too, gaijin could very well be in on it, it has been a long standing theory that they are the developer of their own problem and they use it to profit more. I couldn't agree more that we need to stop giving them money and time, I have at least, but there is no telling if that will even come close to rectifying the issue.

[@aestheticera420]

​@@turfyturf7327no. No region lock. Just make Chinese players forced to use their own servers. That's all.

[@warhavic]

for a long time Region locked Asian players couldnt play with the rest of the world. Majority would stop playing to spit Gajin on that. Gajin in their wisdom to bring back player base allowed them to come back... the reason why they were blocked was due to all the cheating that they make up 80% of the cheater base

[@i_termx_i3854]

@@rogaldorn1965 That's a common perception when you don't understand how software development works. The issue here is clear. Their structure to combat the problem to do manual checks, is ineffective and not efficient enough to keep this problem under control. There has to be a simplified process with the security team and automation tools they need to help flag accounts for review. No game company should rely on the player base to report them. Because the majority of them don't take the time to file a detailed report. They mostly type in basic words like "cheater" that makes the report vague and difficult to process. Also, way over 90% of reports tend to be rage reports. Players who get outplayed and use the report tool to spite the player that took them out.

This is exactly why I stopped playing Warthunder. The development team has the absolute weakest anti cheat and they seem to think ban waves will win people like me over. I will admit, I do play it about once a moth for maybe 3 rounds. Aside from that, I don't touch it.

[@mikska]

“Astra” is another one , 20 kills in the first few minutes takes a bomber , every bomb hits a tank dead on moving or not. Despite me being 80% in the top 3, this guys manages to kill me all 3 times in like 4 min with me having 0 kills.

[@radbaron]

I think I ran up against Astra last night. Managed to kill 8 tanks before being killed. After his last kill on me, I ghost-watched him because I was suspicious. Watched him follow a tank that was flanking him, after he killed him, he went back and spawn-watched 3 more tanks as they deployed. Managed to damage 2 of them before he got finished off.

[@seamusbyrne7820]

Not to be confused with 'Astro' then, whom I believe to be a Scottish KZbinr called OddBawz who seems pretty legit and who can be insanely good on occasion.

[@nevik2506]

Had a weird one today. An invisible tank. Couldnt see him, even though flat desert with no bushes or buildings. His light tank icon stayed on in the mini map the whole time even though they weren't close enough to spawn for that to be the reason his icon stayed lite. Anyone that came out of spawn and tried to shoot him based on guessing by the mini map got 1 shotted.

[@calumknight9178]

[@Belenor]

There are more Gaijin people active on the different forums shutting down threads about people cheating than there are Gaijin people actually dealing with cheaters. Its more dangerous for their game when people talk about banning cheaters than having actual cheaters in the game. The "but we have EAC" bullshit isnt cutting it. Gaijin is more concerned about protecting their game and cash flow than protecting YOU from the cheaters.

[@hereticwinter07]

I am very much of the mind that using cheat programs in games should turn into a lawsuit. First a warning then loss of all online game privileges. Is that excessive? Yes. Do I care? No. Make people be accountable for their actions. If countries don’t want to abide by these rules then remove whatever servers allow that country to play. Something about bad apples ruining it for everyone else.

[@zzbudzz]

I already suck at this game I don't need to deal with cheaters too.

[@Thee_Saturn]

Actually I think the best way to find cheaters is if gaijin had a better kill cam, if you don't know; the kill cam just shoots a lazer from where they are to you, if they had an accurate cam like having the real drop off and everything, and or have an optional view from a distance rather than following the round. Yes, ik in replays. You can see everything, but it's better to have it then and there bc you might forget or say screw it.

[@BBRAIN1977]

cheating will never stop. If it was more known to the public then maybe same thing would happen with game as with the money changes and the steam reviews. The one thing Gaijjn hates if something hurts their income , and they have to act to minimize that

[@benrboss]

Its not to hard to get 6 kills in the ikv but having that be the average is crazy hard

[@adamg7984]

Yeah, the average is what's ridiculous. I think my best vehicle as a relatively good player was 3 kills to deaths. Most tanks I played were 2 to 1 or 1 to 1 with a few that went to 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 but usually 4 to 1 was in vehicles I didn't play a ton so the sample size was small. This is a huge sample size and very, very few players can average 6 to 1 for hundreds of games. Not to mention the guy is terrible at the game and the only reason he does any good is because he clearly can see enemies through the terrain. I don't get how the stats alone don't draw a lot of attention. And the higher up the BR's you go the harder it is to get those high KDRs.

[@CreatureOfTheVoid]

The problem with banning them is they just create a new account and start again, likely why he is only lvl 42 with 100 hours of game play

[@falin9557]

Gaijin doesn't care about cheaters because they delay players' progress, which may cause players to buy top tier premium vehicles. It's equivalent to reducing the RP gains, that's why they do "waves" of bans, instead of instantly banning the players as soon as possible like in games without progress like CS2

[@calumknight9178]

That could equally be low graphics settings removing bushes or making them thinner and easier to see through (equally scummy imho when console gamers are in same matches and cant reduce graphics the same way, in my eyes its the same level of cheating). You need to watch the server replays (not your own replay, there is a link ingame you can use that opens up the web page for you) if you see them snapping to targets or watching players through buildings across the map you know 100% they're cheating.

You don't need admin rights or make any server side changes. The program works on your own computer, I'm guessing the way it works is something to do with the network signals that let your computer know where the other players are e.g your war thunder client needs to know when it needs to render the other teams tanks so it needs to know where they are, what direction they're facing l, what tank theyre using etc.

Which they don't think their player base is worth doing for.

[@dingusbingus7463]

@@CyberneticArgumentCreator That's why we have Kernel based anti cheat, however as some people mentioned gaijin doesn't really use EAC except for as a management tool. It might help a bit more if they were actually using it. I've actually had conversations with people on how malicious the game is in its gameplay, as well as gaijins business practices. If they(as some people insinuated) involved in helping with the development of cheats, it wouldn't be surprising. The game gets people to spend money through psychological warfare most of the time, especially towards F2P players, Ive also theorized that they have a system to harass people in game for example when you're grinding vehicles and it's fine for hours, then when you're within 10-20% complete you start getting lobbies where you can't get any points or anything, it hits hard especially if you're a F2P account, this is one of a few examples I've made over the years. But I digress, between cheaters and the game itself, I like it but considering we don't have many other choices we continue to cope.

Here we can see a player that probably isnt even that bad at the game without cheats using them to get completely insane numbers, which most cheaters dont get as they are completely trash in the game

[@adamg7984]

He seems pretty bad to me, considering he can see enemies through the terrain and he doesn't do good threat assessment nor does he pick targets he can actually hit. I don't think he would be very good without the cheats, but that's besides the point anyway.

I completely hate war thunder. This game stinks, there are a lot of cheaters and hackers. Those fkrs ruin the game

[@rappidralph8863]

I have seen an increase in cheating players the past 6 months in war thunder worst was a brumbar firing 1200 metre away from start of match diving along turns right behind hill fires no enemies on map kills enemy carrys on left turns again fires kill all the time behind cover enemy over 900 meters away he not seen on map using aim bot start to finish reported him .

Player: Maenwan ID: 77420089 Replay:225485667076813185 Brief Description: Aimbot off of spawn, most with no visual on targets. He hit my engine deck at start of match and kept hitting my cover as they did not know i was in cover. Suspect they are cheating at low tier in the hopes that new players wont notice. Very blatant, very obvious.

I’m not anywhere near this good.. since I’ve only been playing for like 2 months.. I’ve maxed out German and Russian tier 3 tanks.. but like the last few weeks I’ve been able to snipe from my spawn others very near there spawn.. not sure if it was just cause the map or not but I’ve gotten kinda good at it mind you I do die a lot.. haha it just depends on the day.. somedays I feel unstoppable and kick ass but like last night I just couldn’t win to save my life lol 😂 anyways.. I’m always searching for areas on the map to exploit and I’ve found a few that really work for me.. I love this game though.. definitely in my top 5 now

gaijin just needs to look at the top 100 people in the different leaderboards and watch their replays

[@filipbrecelj669]

what is the cheat here how does it work?

[@flabbergast_se]

There are several different. One is an aimbot but the most common is the one that shows where everyone is, what type of tank it is and what distance it is to you.

[@Detroittruckdoctor55]

Is GUUD still cheating?

[@jacquesm120]

Shame man. This guy aim is so bad I would grant him the cheat. Can't we just remove all trees and houses to help him out? People like this just spoil gaming.

[@stephenhauer9055]
