Recently, I watched a video on Bilibili about how someone used purely physical peripherals (Raspberry Pi, etc.) to add a vertical stabilizer to the Tiger II. What I’d like to ask is: does using such purely physical peripherals—gaining an advantage over other players without directly modifying the game content—count as cheating? Since Article 3.2.3 of the End User License Agreement doesn’t seem to mention purely physical peripherals. Thank you!

While I don’t think it does, I am 99% sure the game’s anticheat would detect it as such
And that’s why we need to separate servers again.
And keep them that way.

I just want to ask if it counted as a cheat
Yes and no, if we follow the EULA how is written then it’s not cheating. But at the end of the day you’re directly gaining advantage of other players one way or another so in the general public perspective this may be considered cheating. I’d say yes, but not calling Gaijin stupid, physical cheating is something hard (maybe impossible) to detect to make a clear and specific rule for that so I doubt they’d care about this issue.

but they should mention it anyway in the EULA, even it is hard to detect, for example change it to provides an unfair advantage over other players who do not use such software/hardware or something like that
Completely agree but how would you report someone using a physical tool to gain advantage? Physically checking the user device? As I said it’s hard if not impossible to detect thats why they may not even bother adding a rule about that since there’s no cases that involve physically cheating a game or false positive reports if that makes sense but yes, I agree with your point.
Yeah, even DMA is hard to detect enough, physical cheating will be much more harder

Correlation does not equal causation. A single Bilibili video doesn’t represent millions of players. There are cheaters everywhere, no need to make it a national issue.

In case you didn’t know, my earlier message was sarcasm.
Way too many people are sinophobic in video games man

Ah, I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding then. It’s sometimes hard to tell sarcasm from genuine prejudice in text. Glad we’re on the same side against the real haters.

and, he (the creator of this vertical stablizer of Tiger II) also released a vedio (now is not visible) that demostrated a tool which can instantly tell you the distance between your tank and the yellow team sign and can automatically lay the gun in approximately 2 secs.
without using any softwares
No worries, this kind of misunderstanding can happen quite often.

The thing you mentioned is called a hardware cheat. There’s a lot of these that mainly utilize controllers, but this one definitely falls under the category.

Yeah. And the tricky part is that the EULA of gaijin don’t explicitly mention hardware cheats, but they clearly fall under ‘unfair advantages / automation’.
This is absolutely heinous and I love it.
The creativity is cool, but still counts as a hardware cheat though.

True.
Let’s make it even more heinous; full plane stabilization.
