Will there be a specific WT user on this list any time soon? Someone that may be related to a specific type of aquatic creature that have the name Hammerhead, Great White, and Tiger in their names?

Given how gaijin handle things, the best we can expect is another non answer answer just like the thai vt4. That is if we get a answer at all

Expecting an explanation about the whole StatShark fiasco. How can someone type in chat on someone else’s behalf? How insecure are your servers?

I don’t expect much from the Sharks team — they’ve proven unreliable at best. However, Gaijin needs to explain how someone is able to alter chats and perform other actions like this. Where does it end, and what exactly can this person do? How did they even manage to do it? This is a serious security concern.
If this was done through the API, then API access should be restricted. If not, then there’s a vulnerability in the code that needs immediate attention.
The individual from the Sharks team is known for creating, publishing, and selling cheats, yet now they seem to have unrestricted access and are using it to impersonate others and spread homophobia and other harmful content. Creating software is one thing — but impersonating and targeting players for malicious purposes is entirely unacceptable.

never thought i’d see Tanya von Degurechaff in the war thunder forums
Who?
Folks in the Chinese community are saying the recent ban wave wasn’t tough enough. So crank it up a notch, Gaijin!
Got bored, here’s some stats from these bans. Hope I’m not abusing the transparency too much.
I skipped about 100 players from the list because their names didn’t work with how I was scraping. Maybe I can add them in later.
Registration Year
Lots of bots I guess.
Player Level
The newest level 100 player registered late June 2025. They got to level 100 playing 1300 air rb and 2900 ground rb matches. A couple players registered around the beginning of September and got to levels 60+ playing mostly air and ground rb.
Total Battles
KDR and Winrates
Looks like gaijin is pretty quick to catch the greedier low level exploiters.
Vehicle Research
One player had over 1400 vehicles researched. They registered in 2017 and play ground and air rb.
The nation focus chart shows the vehicle research gaps between the top two researched nations per player. Only handful of banned players focus one nation.
Previous Fair Plays
The composition of bans for the past few months have been pretty similar.

I find it rather amusing how some people claim to be banned for no reason after playing the game for years. I’ve been playing for 7+ years and never once been banned, and the only chat bans I’ve got has been fair play lmao. Gaijin seems to be pretty good at their Fair Play bans imo

I really don’t get it — these statistics seem fake. Before anti-cheat systems and mandatory anti-cheat requirements in higher ranks, the numbers were the same. In fact, even before anti-cheats, the numbers were actually higher. Now, they’re pretty much unchanged. Yet there are over 2–3 million daily players, and only around 3,000 of them are supposedly cheating? That sounds pretty suspicious, not gonna lie.

Shes the main character of the anime “The saga of Tanya the Evil”
Wrong post buddy but,
Thats biggest bull s, because they admitted “we knew, its changed man yet he gave good value to our project and so we kept him.” he made pretty much like 3-4 cheats. And these guys now trying to save their asses now, because they are in big horse sh.
I don’t really understand why you’re coming in so hot @ me, I’m just sharing the post, buddy.
So, the parts of that message that I am going to quote below make it look like he is/was potentially/allegedly pulling this extra information by illegitimate means. I have always wondered why and HOW StatShark was pulling so much more information than ThunderSkill.
These statements from StatShark’s Discord give credence to this potential allegation that the extra information which StatShark was able to display was indeed obtained illegitimately. I have no direct evidence nor knowledge if this is true. I am specifically stating that this potential allegation is only a theory, and not fact until/unless we get an official confirmation.
I would appreciate more clarification from Gaijin, especially as it pertains to potential TOS violations.
What I see as relevant quotes from the screenshot above:
-
“The tools and methods he used to post the chat messages are his own. We do not have access to such tools.”
-
"About six months ago, he approached us with an offer to help us get some of the more complicated data…The extra data and HIS WAYS OF GETTING THEM [emphasis added] were hosted on an external server owned just by him."
-
“…and his outlet for giving us the relevant data has been shut down. The two tools, the live game viewer and the game history viewer…don’t work anymore.”
-
“The live game viewer will be down…since it’s part of the site where he had helped us. The global player stats…[will no longer include]…player or match numbers anymore.”
Never heard of it. Is it good?
