During a Squadron Battles match, multiple enemy players left the game on the airfield after all ground targets had been destroyed. This spawned two Bot Ground vehicles which our team did not know about until they had capped a point. They used the generic bot that spawns when a player’s game crashes to their advantage to “respawn” to different type of vehicle and win them the game.
Hahahaha, maybe this is a good thing, lifts a hefty weight off my shoulders knowing they finally won, as I was starting to feel a deep guilt and sorrow for those below me, who were completely unable to pull off a single victory against their Owners
Squadron battles are intended to be a 8v8 gamemode, not a 8v10 gamemode. The Gaijin Code of Conduct says this, “Exploiting Game(s) Bugs , Errors , and Flaws . Taking advantage of Game(s) bugs, errors, or flaws for personal gain.” All criteria of this incident fits the description. The offending squadron and players knew it was a bug or flaw of the gamemode, did it intentionally, and had the win to gain for it. Gaijin could fix this issue by removing bots from the gamemode altogether.
The usage of bots during squadron battles should not be allowed. When a player disconnected it usually spawns a reserve vehicle but cheating the system and spawning a vehicle and bot deliberately to win a game with no effort is dumb, if you want to be respected as a squadron, this shouldn’t happen. Play fair and dont do sneaky shit, just my opinion on this but is still ridiculous.
No mater the context using an exploit or cheating in any way is not a fair way to play the game. Shame on those who participated in it, we should make sure something like this does not happen again.
Is this not on the same level as planes airfield camping and helicopters being able to leave vehicle and respawn with any damage on the helipad? This isn’t air players finding a way to control a ground vehicle.
You know if I were you I’d pack it up and find a new profession. Losing to bots and then going to cry about it on the forums is wild, just take the L lil bro

All ground player vehicles were destroyed with no points captured.
5:47 - VCoM - Speste - Tu-25-59 dc’s after being repaired
6:04 - “Nobunori” Chi-Ha spawns in his place
12:08 - VCoM - TRUE_IMP_JAPAN - Ju 288C dc’s after being repaired
12:10 “Manfried” Pz. II C spawns in his place
The bots cap the points resulting in a win for the team that switched from bombers to tanks.
The bot spawn mechanic should be disabled for squadron battles game mode.
The replay link is in the OP. Here are clips of the air players respawning as tank bots: https://youtu.be/SHtXnM39v0s
Or maybe just be better at the game and simply win not that hard of a concept. But is probably just a Blackfoot thing, needing to run to forums after a loss lol
Literally a 1 off and you are crying about it. This is just another Warthunder bug just like the other numerous bugs that they have. This most likely can not be replicated and so it is not considered exploiting. The fact that it happened and that it happened with against a squadron that has an absolute hard on for VCoM is totally coincidence.
To be completely honest I don’t play SQB, but it makes no sense to have bots spawn when players do certain actions in a competitive gamemode. If it’s a rare bug, it should be patched, and if it’s replicatable it should be fixed.
