AB does not require EAC. RB requires.
you don’t know that yet though, you can assume and you are most likely right.
BUT there is no way for you to know with 100% certainty, its literally impossible unless you have behind the scenes insight or Gaijin themselves states as such.
and the next time my friend was banned because he is good and others report him out of frustration
Only ground RB and naval RB require EAC.
Air modes don’t have it.
Good to hear ! I may have a chance not to loose next 10 games.
Glad to see it wasn’t an RCE, appreciate the transparency

Now however you can say that with 100% certainty. Because now we actually know. Responding to the recent vulnerability exploit
Good to know it wasnt rce but concerning devs had a skill issue and left such a thing in code

its literally impossible to find and plug all exploits/holes/issues because many are not even known to exist before someone maliciously uses them.
not only that but patching the game can inadvertently create vulnerabilities in areas not even changed with the patch but just interacting with the part that did change.
its a constant cat and mouse game that never ends.

Only two out of the five incredibly blatant aimbotters I reported since the last ban list are on this ban list.
Disappointing.
To be precise, of the AB/RB modes, only ground RB, naval AB and naval RB require EAC currently.
Also naval AB.
In case people were curious which squadrons were winning the “most banned players” award before today’s ban list came out:
And after:

Stop spreading unproven myths. It wasnt a problem in EAC and it wasnt RCE
Great job. Keep up the good work.
good news
So what, this disconnect exploit isnt something that happens because you missed one line
Interesting how the average player level is dropping:
The squadron data above shows that there are several squadrons, some of which have SQB sideflags, like DHT0, that are accumulating large numbers of banned players by this. Maybe it’s time to start looking at sanctions on squadrons too. Removal of those side flags if 20% of your current membership is banned from the game might be a good start. (Squadrons that don’t want that black mark can always kick the banned members, too, of course.)

On the current RB leaderboard, the top 4 players were all caught in this month’s ban wave (all air base botters). Great to see.
I would watch out if I were you, “Draglagandping”…
It isn’t that simple, and almost never is.
As I understand it this one was a package exploit where the hacker had deconstructed the information packages that is sent between client and server and had then made a program that reconstructed them to look the same but with new information to make it look like they where sent from a player with a different name. Not replacing the ones that his own client sent but hiding the extra packages together with his own to make it look like another client sent them and replacing other players packages. That way he could send commands to the server to “log out” that looked like they came from the other players.
So what was missing from Gaijin was a package check for that specific problem. A check otherwise never needed.
But this is WAY oversimplified and might not even be correct. I’m just going on the information from Gaijin and doing some logical deductions but I might very well be wrong.
One thing I’m certain about is that it isn’t as simple as neglect or “missing one line”.
