[Fair Play] Fair Play: May 2025

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.

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
