Sharing accounts is against TOS anyway right? so he’s banned either way ?? :L

Assuming it’s the same person as the one 2012 player on the list, then the “two classmates” did over 9000 naval bot games before they were caught. “To get better quickly.”

There has been a great number of cheaters active in Squadron Battles these last months, and it will continue to be like this until EAC is fixed, some bans won’t prevent these cheaters from using other accounts.

Damn that Clara and her hacks, why cant they just git gud like the rest of us. 9000 bot games that amounted to nothing loool. I do think an AI anti cheat system would be really effective tbh.
There is still loads of names missing
Good job though

I appreciate that you all ban this many accounts but there needs to be more accountability with cheating accounts as well as those selling cheats on youtube in which you are allowing them to sell and get away with. Even if there were a scenario in which players could assist with replay watching like in other games like CSGO. There also needs to be a way to get in contact with people within Gaijin who can ban players immediately when it is very apparent with video evidence to back up the cheater in question. Please consider some sort of community action to allow for more help resolving the issues here.

Excellent news! The drastic increase in banned accounts proves your new measures are working well.
Thank you, and good job!

They aren’t. I know a few cheaters I have met in squadron battles and no one of them was banned.
Just did a crosscheck: 58 (!) of the top 100 players on the RB leaderboard (Leaderboard - Community - War Thunder) have been banned, including #3, #4, and #5 (who used to be 1-2-3 until they couldn’t play anymore).
That leaderboard was all jet base bomb botters and naval botters, so no surprise, but still. Good job again. Maybe that leaderboard can start to mean something again now.
The banned 58:

Still, keep in mind they used to ban like 100-200 people every 3 months; now they banned more than 4,000!
Big improvement.

Good, keep on cleansing.
#35… I KNEW IT! Why dont they use EAC for Air and Naval? Why only GF?
There are also tons of smurf accounts in navy realistic, with names like hhfhkax, jkfahjkda, jhdfahid and hdajdfaf, created by Chinese workshop.

So… been studying this in naval for two years.
The script bots with the lower case names aren’t really the biggest part of the problem. There’s no “workshop…” per se, at least not one making any significant money from playing themselves. Those accounts, I’ve become convinced after seeing them come and go in waves, are the “test batch” for each successive generation of bot script from the people who make them. When they’re done testing they’re wiped or shelved for next time mostly. The “Kerchbots” you’re thinking of are just the canary in the coal mine. Watch them pop up in naval, and you’ll see what the next-gen script will be able to do.
The problem is established, paying players, from all over the world, who then buy those bot scripts, either to get ahead, or in some cases increase the value of their account for a resale (also against ToS), by running a bot 24/7 when they are sleeping or doing other things. A lot of those players had their WT GJN and vehicle holdings wiped out today for cheating that way. This is a good thing.
Here’s an example of a player who was naval-botting when he didn’t play himself, and using an aimbot when he was, from today’s ban list:
Me all day today watching the big bot accounts explode and die:

In general, I like the change. I just wonder if all those 4000 bans are correct. I don’t want to be banned because some gaming accessory (Stream Deck for instance) get mistaken for cheat software.
Afaik, they had a few false positives in the past.
Obviously, if you play for more than a certain amount per day, it can’t be you, as you would be dead without sleep.
I don’t think there have been many false positives in WT.
I do remember that whole “it’s only RGB software” thing that some people tried as an excuse, which turned out to be Asus’ Sonar (I think that was what its called) software that gave on-screen directions of where engine sounds were coming from.
There are already plenty of posts from Chinese players that they don’t understand why they got banned, but I’ve seen too many losers trying to play the innocent victim to believe them when it comes to bans, including squadron mates.

The one in the YouTube I linked above started the account in May, and had played an average of 6 games an hour, 24/7, since then (25,000 games on record). Bye byeee.
It highlights how taking down the naval and bomb botters has a disproportionate impact for two reasons. First, they individually play so many games when they’re AFK, they damage the game so much more, compared to a wallhacker who only hurts the game when they’re actually playing, far fewer games per day on average.
Second because if you buy a bot script to play when you sleep as this guy does, odds are you aren’t opposed to buying an aimbot script to help when you do either. Two birds, one stone.
if someone i know is on that list for no reason and he invested so much money on that what he should do is there any type of revision ? @Stona_WT
