[Fair Play] Fair Play: November 2025

We’d like to thank all of our players who file reports, you help us keep the game fair and free from cheaters! As usual, we’ll share some info on bans that we’ve distributed over the past month. If you’d like to help keep War Thunder free from cheating, you can find out how to file a report and how our anti-cheat system works on our Wiki.

Banned accounts

Since our last fair play, we’ve banned 4603 accounts that were found to have violated the rules. Specifically 3.2.3 of the EULA namely in the automation of gameplay (using bots) and cheat software. For complete transparency, we’re publishing the full list of these banned players. This list will be available for two weeks after the publication of this article.

Additionally, 326 accounts have been banned for a week or longer for intentional teamkilling, ramming and griefing.

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.

id 9619? stolen account?

basically the entire bottom half is naval bots. Literally thousands. No wonder they’re completely swamping actual players at their BR this week (3.7).

Some (most?) are old steam accounts that doesn’t have a custom name, not necessarily cheaters or bots.
The ones that are random alphanumeric characters? Yeah those are probably bot accounts.

Sorry but anti cheat doesn’t work or its random numbers, Since there is daily players over 2mln, and daily peak over 300k, Yet only 0.25% is cheating? Other similar games or any games what so ever with 2 mln daily players and less than 100k peak daily, bans 20-30k per month.

I was wondering if it might be possible to expand the spreadsheet to include these player’s Squadron(if they are in one) and possibly their level as well.

Wish they had the ability to retroactively compensate other users who don’t cheat. Say, the deaths on your vehicle stats that were attributed to a cheating account scrubbed from the record.

small suggestion, have usernames be auto checked to see if its just random letters and if is notify the owner of the account to request an explanation of what the username may mean and give them like a week to respond, and if they dont auto terminate the accout, ive seen way to many of those bots getting banned every month.
However, I know that some people’s accounts would get auto-flagged for that, hence the explanation request to prevent people from getting wrongly banned.

just a suggestion/ idea for you guys to maybe cut down on bots.
