As I said, 40% on that list have joined since dec 2024. Doesn’t that answer your question?
There is certain ways to circumvent certain permanent ban actions. So no it does not. A majority of them had been post Dec 24 so my question still stands. Can we expect next ban wave to consist of more possible repeat offenders?
Rat playstyle also existed in air rb? thought it is only a ground thing
Of course. Along with a good chance of DDOS attacks on the servers. Again.
When 40% of the bans are new accounts from within a quarter year, then we are speaking mainly of returning players who have been banned before.
So we are dealing with players here who know that they will be banned. It would be interesting to check the accounts for premium spendings. If they return under the premise of a next ban, these accounts should have no significant spendings, aside from short premium times. I just can’t be bothered to check it out systematically.

Glad to see one that I met in GRB banned.

Hello, player who you reported (ID 44210390 so you can check) is in fact banned and on the list.

Sry for delayed response - was saved as draft.
I put “rat” in quotation marks, you can also use “excessively competitive” or “extremely annoying”. I play just props and “real” WW 2 jets - but certain plane / nation / map combinations allows players to remain untouchable whilst being just a real pain in the ass.
So even if you remember their names (despite your could not blacklist them as you have reached your limit) and know how they play you can’t do anything against them if they don’t make mistakes.
Example (hidden as imho off-topic):
-
I meet since weeks every few days a BR 3.7 P-47 pilot on Pacific maps - he is faster than all JP planes and untouchable for any JP plane even at 5.0. So if you don’t have a JP premium P-51 in your team he can BnZ you the whole day without taking any risk. You can’t outclimb him if he is above 6 km and even then his level speed is similar to my rip speed (i fly exclusively B7A2s as i don’t like the Ki-44’s FM - i use a HOTAS).
-
On certain maps we have in these (mostly 6 vs 6) JP vs US/UK matches auto-ticket defeats for JP (Iwo Jiima, Saipan) which guarantees a win with zero mission score just by running (and doing nothing) as you can’t stop ai landing craft to capture A and/or B point.
-
On other maps like Guadalcanal or New Guinea he parks his plane 2 km above me (without seriously committing) and neutralizes me quite effectively for the whole match. So if your enemy is playing like this - u have an in-game equivalent to a “fallen soap” scenario - i do not try to pick up the soap :-)
-
I would do the same if i were him as i also focus more on the most dangerous opponent than on getting kills.
-
2 days ago i had to wait 20 minutes for a mistake - playing 1 vs 1 as last players. He went too low with 0 points in order to kill some ground units as we had ticket parity (if game ends with same ticket amount both teams get a “defeat”) - he saw me coming and ran away in order to restore his altitude advantage.
-
I was sure that he won’t accept a fight without having an altitude advantage and as the distance was large enough i turned around and killed a single pillbox for a ticket win (1 minute before the 25 minute timer) knowing that he would have no chance to catch me.
-
Don’t get me wrong - the player does everything right and plays like you should play vs JP aircraft but it is simply annoying like hell that you have to wait for mistakes in order to have a fighting chance.
Have a good one!
A moment of silence for a fallen brother in arms
Really that’s great! I’ll have to look at the list as I must of misspelled the name.
I thought a message would pop up when you entered the game, stating someone you reported was banned?
They’ll show up on reddit soon enough with the usual excuses.
I got today gifted with a victory because my last enemy has used a bot script. But not a base bombing script - he simply flies straight at low alt in a PBJ-1 H (~B-25 version) and kills players with aced ai gunners.
I am quite sure that i reported him in the past - and did it again today.
What i do not understand is that:
- Why he is still active and not already banned?
- Why are you unable to track automated game play with common sense?
I watched 2 random replays (on top to my own match) - always the same:
- He spawns and flies directly to the enemy airfield - in a Rank III PBJ-1 H
- No climbing, no manual input, no switch of player view
- As he is flying at around 1.000 meters most players dive on him
- His aced ai gunners killed (according to his service record) 2.186 players
- If nobody dives on him - airfield aaa kills him
An example:
In this replay his ai gunners killed a B7A2 and he got an assist for damaging the fighter which killed him. 1.000 points mission score…
I mean identifying such players is rather easy:
- No manual input on flight controls
- No switch of views (3rd party, cockpit, gunner)
- Kills by ai gunners only
It would be great if you could have a look on this.
It is simply annoying to have these kinds of bots - either they weaken your team by wasting a player slot or they kill a rookie team mate (who thinks that ai gunners are useless and tail chasing of an attacker with 4 x US 0.50 cals is a viable strategy). Or they got killed by af aaa but dragged fighters low and away from the center.
Have a good one!

they are back again.
Just had a match with a level 18 who had 12 nukes and KD ration in a tiger 1 of 6/1.
I might be a shit player, but 12 nukes at level 18 is a bit… yeah

Please report any players you suspect are cheating, but i recommend looking at the server replay first as sometimes things that look like cheating can be lag/server issues/etc. There has to be a proper report made using the the server replay function. 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!).
There are tons of rage hackers in br10, they got banned, then buy a pair of premium tank+jet, come back again and again. Every match in 10.0-11.0 has least one rage hacker. That’s why I stop paying.
They are always there, especially around br10 premium pack tier. They grind with rage hacking then sell the accounts.
The aimbot they used on bomber is crazy accurate too, 2km pilot shot, if you don’t wiggle around.
Not sure if you have seen that i talked about ai gunners.
-
In case somebody would have implemented an aimbot he would still need to switch to manual gunnery in order to benefit from that. And according to the replays i watched this was not the case.
-
Have in mind that ai gunners in aced aircraft with a level 75 crew will kill you if you get within 0.66 km if you approach from behind, the 210 meters mentioned in the crew skill card are wrong.
Regarding 2 km pilot snipes with manual gunnery:
-
Not unusual, depends on used defensive cannons / HMGs. Even as gaijin added massive artificial bullet/shell dispersion in late 2022 plain US 0.50 cals score hits/crits and kills up to 2.5 km.
-
I recommend strongly to avoid tail chasing stuff like Pe-8s or B-18 Bs - with a decent aim of the bomber pilot you are dead before you are in gun range.
