Not every console player is a cheater. Right?
Wow - three on the list that I had noted. Thanks.
Sadly no whiny posts yet…
spoke too soon lol
It would be nice to see a breakdown of the total number. Botters vs cheaters…
Edit:
BTW the irony… :)
That would be good. It’s been requested several times (consider this yet another request for that).
I suspect that there is quite a correlation… but we just don’t know.
from a flick of the first lot of names there was a lot of @ psn names.
odd seeing as consoles cant really cheat
they are probably playing with it on a pc
These “monthly” announcements are literally jokes, huge number of those banned accounts are throw-aways and they have already created new ones. Cheaters need to be banned within days if Gaijin wants to get rid of them.
that would give the creators of the cheats the ability to figure out what’s being detected and what’s not, giving them a better ability to make less detectable cheats doing it all at once makes it so that war thunder has a longer time to get a larger group of cheaters without the makers of it knowing that their cheats were detected. hence denying their ability to know if their cheats are sneaky enough. that’s the logic behind it.
what gave it away?
149 Xbox, 96 PSN. probably falls into Automation of gameplay (bypassing AFK checks w/ random controls) or using said account on PC
console players can play on PC without issues it just has the normal restrictions in place
as in using the account on PC and then cheating/automating
They want to give them time to buy up a bunch of premiums first.
this guy? a bot? no wayyy. Must’ve been a mistake lol
It’s kind of just a “its that time of the month, make new accounts!”, Gaijin needs to impose both an IP and Hardware ban if they want to get anywhere. These bulk removals though make sense as it ensures the people making them cant ever determine what’s being caught, but Gaijin could use so much better of a system
Also, I say hardware + IP ban because if it were just an IP ban, the cheater could just go to like, a local coffee shop, but just doing a hardware ban allows the cheater to just buy a new device (which would be costly)
Doing both and having a complete deletion of someone’s account (of course, within a timeframe without appeal) would make it so much worse for the cheater
Alternatively, just start nuking them. Can’t really cheat if you’re literally dust
And we thank them for their contribution to sustaining our game :)
Helo pls unban i was not cheat pleas i have gold and premium i pay for pleas.
“its that time of the month, make new accounts!”
You spelled “steal” wrong there…
We can’t stress enough how important good account (and general internet) security is, everybody:
Recommendations
We recommend that you set a strong password for your account and enable two-step authentication in your profile security settings . We have the following 2FA options available: email, SMS, TOTP (Gaijin Pass/Google Authenticator), and Telegram bot, which we suggest trying if SMS 2FA messages are not reaching you.
We’d also suggest that you turn on 2FA for the email that is linked to your Gaijin account for additional security, as this will protect your account from fraudsters. And remember, don’t use prohibited client modifications and never share your account information with anyone.
