I have never seen him, his name or whatever discord server this is in my life, so I don’t really know what makes that more reliable then the reddit post.
On the old forum he was kinda well known, contributed hugely to the naval game, often knew what was coming in terms of bug fixes and rule changes before everyone else.
When they changed to the new forum he deleted all his content on the old forum in a fit of pique and refused to participate here. He lives on Discord now. But if you played significant naval in the last few years, you knew him.
EDIT: We also had the posts on this forum, both from the alleged whistleblower (I won’t mention his name here) complete with download links and passwords on Dec. 13, explaining what he did, and the acknowledgement post from a senior mod saying “thank you for all the information you provided, I will pass it further up!” Those posts have been scrubbed now, but the screenshots still exist. This all started on this forum and a couple of us noted it in real time… if you were paying attention.
In case people missed it, we also had yesterday’s sorta denial from Redmisty (Chrome Translate may be required): 讨论＆求助；这样举报外挂软件的方式是否正确 - #9

An even bigger number from another person I’ve never heard of and I try to keep track of things.
So just a attention seeker who people should not be relying on for accurate info.
Dude, I remember you bantering with him a few times on the old naval forum. Early Alzheimers?
(I mean, yeah, obviously he didn’t have the whole story here, and his inside sources clearly aren’t as good as they once were, not suggesting otherwise.)
I honestly don’t, I am severely dyslexic so I more associate people with their avatars which severely screwed me when they ripped custom avatars away so there’s only a handful of people I can associate with posts and since I’ve not seen him since the old forum I likely won’t be able to associate him with anything without going back to the old forum and going through posts
Apologies then, did not mean to cause any offence there. Like I said, he deleted everything he ever wrote about naval over the forum change, don’t bother. It was a shame, he had a lot of good informative posts. And again, his sources were obvs wrong about this, just saying there was a little bit more than just “one reddit post” two days ago.
I’d be more concerned personally about the people who were banned this week but NOT on this list, and people who were banned two days ago and apparently are NOT, now (I gave one example of each, above). Here’s another of the first kind: Wrong ban

No worries, none taken.
I’m rereading my posts and I’m realizing I worded it unintentionally harshly so I kinda started it.
There are 30+ of them - just keep scrolling and more Dxiaoc!!!
There is much more cheaters to be banned. You’ve got info about at least 40k accounts. There is a cheater in your game every second match on average. Only 6k accounts banned? Joke.

Many sellers of auto-aiming cheat software claim that their cheat programs originate from the official source, and they demonstrate the software’s ability to directly lock onto the target vehicle’s cannon breech under any circumstances. Now, in every match, there are inexplicable shells damaging your cannon breech, especially when implemented in some long-distance moving vehicles, which is outrageous. The main cheaters in the game are not automatic robots but users of auto-aiming software, and the official attitude towards this type of cheater is very ambiguous. If this continues, it will lose regular players.

The existence on the banned list was actually unbanned. It was the same last time!
Obviously, those accounts are for selling.
Unfortunately many have “escaped” the recent ban wave. There are still alot of them left ingame. About 1 in every 3 matches uses Wallhacks or ESP for situational awareness. Those are the hardcore hackers that look almost legit until watched in a replay. Mostly lvl 100 players belong to this populace.
Others have begun returning to the game as new players. Spotted last night one who bought the CT-CV off the gaijin market which dropped its price now to 20 Euro, lvl 7 that racked 12 kills. Shot me at 1,5 km range while driving full speed, disabled my cannon and turret.
Low to middle tier is again unplayable due to blatant hackers everywhere, 1 out of 2 matches are with at least 3-4 hackers.

Seems to me it’s a money maker for Gaijin then. They ban the accounts of hackers/botters who paid for premiums (accounts or vehicles), the owners of which immediately create new accounts that they pay for premiums on (accounts or vehicles), which Gaijin then bans. The argument that Gaijin won’t ban cheaters because they pay doesn’t hold water. Seems to me Gaijin would make more money banning them BECAUSE they paid money.
Incidentally, where is the stat “one in three” coming from? I don’t play tanks enough to be able to make the judgement necessary to track that kind of statistic. If someone is publishing these stats, I think most players deserve to be able to see them personally.

I honestly didn’t think there was actual cheating since I couldn’t even open cheatengine to use in other games while warthunder was open. I just figured some folks were butthurt whiners. Kinda suprised about this tbh. I guess the client/server sync avoids lag by being picky about what to share and I spose… it’s overriding info in a server compat way on the client side. whelp, no system is perfect
ah … Here it comes … right on schedule …“In allll of MY years of gaming I have neeever seen a REAL cheater” … uh-huh, ya right, Seems like disputing the obvious with ‘alternate facts’ based on made up fantasy, spread by pathological liars has become a regular thing now 🙄

Honestly, the thought did cross my mind. BSG (owners of Escape from Tarkov), always seem to have a sale right after the big ban wave

It’s a start, and it’s nice to see, but it’s not nearly enough.
Just been in a battle with someone with a score of 770 deaths and only 84 kills in a Moffett, and it’s not the only one ive seen with numbers like that this morning.

and we’re back to “business as usual” … almost half of the team are bots again. Brand new accounts, every single one with the same Kerch (AB) → Tashkent + Krasny Kavkaz (RB) ship progression.

Bot player are beginning to increase again in Naval RB. It’s freaking annoying having to play with 3 of those bot destroyers on your team. You know you’re going to lose. Gaijin please fix this stupid nonsense.
