Do we risk a ban for using macros?

I would learn to work my way around it,…

Most players thinking Cobra is useful are going to use it everytime, knowing this you just have to climb, flare and comeback around a guy flying at low speed → this does not require to use a Full control simulator

You’re not going to “learn your way around it” when in a 1v1 duel someone forces a rate fight and uses SB controls while you don’t. He’s simply just going to out turn you in the same plane you have and you’re going to die in a few turns. There’s no ifs and buts about it

There is no work around when someone out turns you with the press of a key.

You guys are funny ^^"

Not gonna lie,… but to force a rate fight, your ennemy also should be willing to do it

(Oh,… a way around,… letting you rate yourself, going to build speed, and coming back for what i forced you to)

Rather seems you know nothing about the subject, maybe don’t comment

Rather seems that i already done it multiple time, and that you can say whatever you want,… there is ALWAYS another way around,…

If you wanna keep yourself to be baited and killed by your ennemy it’s your problem,… not mine.

As I said above :)

Same here,…
(Not gonna spam this thread anymore,… people don’t hear when you tell them they’re wrong)

You go to the dueling discord and ask for someone with SB controls to duel you in a 109 or something and see how well you fare… lmao

@Smin1080p_WT I have seen a lot of footage online of people (including content creators) using macros for chaff dumping and other things and i never seen a definitive answer on if it can get you banned or not, i would appreciate an answer form the devs about this if possible

PC players trying not to cheat challenge: Difficulty IMPOSSIBLE

I think “automation software” clause is more about automating gameplay, as spawning and going to some location without user interaction. Key binds are a common thing in mouse software. If you cannot use macro software, why would you be allowed to use head tracking software then? It’s the same principle. Your head movement is key bound to specific actions.

He’s trying to change a keybind, not get wallhacks. Just because he’s worried he’ll get banned under the cheating clause doesn’t mean it’s actually cheating, just that it might violate the letter of the law.

Changing keybinds isn’t bannable, so why is he asking?

probably

I can’t answer as to the macro questions ruling, but i want to clarify that key-binds and macros are two very different things.

A macro makes it so that you can press one key to have several actions happen all at once (or with 1ms delay), so for example making a macro so that if you press “q” the radar turns on, switches to TWS, weapon selector changes to ARH missiles and starts trying to lock the missile. All with one keypress.

Key-bind just makes a new key do one of the functions (Technically you could bind one key to multiple functions but then they will all happen instantly and likely not in the correct order they need to be for them to do what you want).

Because you can never be sure of the outcome, it often appears on the whim of how somebody feels that particular day. Then you have to go through the long tortuous procedure to have that incorrect ruling overturned.
There is so much cheating in the game it would be surprising if your were caught. A lot of the cheating is using far superior means than Battleye can detect or comprehend.

Think macros are a thing on actual jets?

The closest thing I would try these days are probably using some macro programs to set a key to initiate leave vehicle instantly via the esc, this is to instantly J out with a single pressed of a button to deny kill for CAS. Is this ban-able? Lol

Here is a thread on a very similar topic that both i and Schindibee have given our opinions on it in:
