Anti-Cheat, Privacy, and Fair Play: Clarifying the Facts

Gaijin, let be honest here: you have already starting walking back on some promises from 2023 (no roadmap since the second one) and you are doing again what you have tried in 2023 with an article without really understanding that this is just the straw that broke the camel’s back. Maybe is time to finally address at the game issues without hiding yourselve behind some exscuses

(i expect nothing tho)

The roadmap was to show what they had plan to the game which evolved into the CM post which is a small form of roadmap for the next major and future without a full detail roadmap

So you agree that is a downgrade no one asked for right?
A road map give you the timeframe and what they want to do that year, che CM is just “maybe sometimes we will do somehing”.

The current reporting system sucks. Especially if you can go out your way to provide multiple time stamps however only one is checked. The anticheat is garbage.

We want to believe, but it’s hard to believe.
Players affected by cheaters lose a significant amount of time and effort. There should be a system in place that takes responsibility for this loss by rewarding the player. Specifically, if a reported user gets banned, the whistleblower should be rewarded with Golden Eagles. This would compensate for the wasted time and encourage the community to keep the game clean.

Time frames change and people get upset when they do so no the CM reports is a better option

People get upset because how they are absolutly not transparent in their decision making, when they made insulting Q&A session, when they lie in your face and when they ignore the feedback.

But immagine being so scared of making promises and respecting a timeline but not of insulting your comunity.

Has anyone else seen the MASSIVE spike in suspicious players today??

Literally more than half my matches, there’s been blatant cheaters I had to report. I even double checked the replays, even though I already knew they were cheating.

Anyone else seeing this or what??

Maybe they realized how bad the anti cheat was because of this thread so they just feel safer doing it?

I was playing at around 12am in the EU, and the match queue blow up from 60 players to 250+ players at the same time.

What, have we embarrassed ourselves again?)))
This isn’t a game, it’s a monstrosity riddled with bugs and completely unbalanced)))

Then calls question into if they’ll just bot with one account hacking to report farm and the other being their actual account like they did for the GE reward of bringing new players in. I recommended us making a page to permit the community to learn and assist in reporting suspect gameplay ( Recommendation for creating a tab to allow information exchange of cheat indicators to permit the community to learn and assist in reporting suspect gameplay. - Suggestions / Misc - War Thunder — official forum). It actually got picked up as a suggestion with the “Allow Peer Review of Cheats Through Replay” ( List of Previously Suggested Ideas - Miscellaneous - Suggestions / Misc - War Thunder — official forum) but that went all of nowhere.

Hi I was wondering if using my HBCC memory allocation from my amd software adrenalin settings could trigger the anti cheat and ban me? I’m using standard windows 11 drivers for my rx vega 64.

Where can I report or to who a cheat ?
Someone just posted a topic where he gave the link to a cheat site, claiming to have one on War Thunder. (It’s real, the site exist).

Game Masters are the appropriate staff to contact if you need assistance or information about reports 👍

You can see the list of Game Masters here: War Thunder — official forum

On the forums, @Necronomica is typically the most active GM. And he often posts the appropriate methods and links for reporting such a situation. He will probably reply shortly/today from the ping I just sent here. Ty Necronomica o7

If you want to report a website that sells cheats then send me a private message.

If you want to report a player for trying to sell cheats in-game then there has to be a correct report made, using the in-game complaint system or the server replay function, for us to be able to do anything. A guide on how to create a correct report for each issue can be found here: (How to properly report players and contact Game Masters!). The messages must still be visible to you when making the report or they won’t be attached to the report.

If they are posting those links here on the forum then use the forum flagging system to flag it for the Forum Moderators to handle.

If they have posted it on websites that aren’t run by Gaijin then there isn’t really much anyone can do about those.
