Yes they are using premiums. Why do you think the market was being ddosed during this sale? My bet is the chicoms got mad they couldn’t mass buy premiums for their bot accounts that they are planning to sell later on after boosting them.

proves that majority were bots instead of cheaters
Your anti cheat isnt working against cheaters and you know that. I ran into 2 last night within a 2 hour time span who were blatantly cheating.

It’s also illegal under EU & US law @Bruce_R1
The fact Bruce is advocating for Gaijin to break financial law & screw over players is honestly the most anti-consumer thing I’ve ever heard on the forums.

Never stopped company’s before. I know it would ruin some of the skins but just for a laugh maybe they should update the skins with the word “cheater” written on them, like having it plastered from one wing to the other or something like that so they will forever be remembered for their crime.
It has stopped the company before. M60 DC Ariete, the one mistake that almost caused Gaijin a major situation.
There’s no reason to remove the skins because a team got disqualified once.
The teams aren’t disbanding, the teams aren’t the ones that are banned.
The “M60 DC Ariete” was temporarily removed from sale due to the gun stabilizer it was a purchasable pack and was removed from sale in Update 1.87 “Locked On”. It was later re-released as a premium purchasable for Golden Eagles after the 8th Anniversary sale.
I remember when that tank was announced they messed up royally on it back in the day but they did bring it back it just took a year, it wasn’t that big of a situation to be honest.
I agree the skins don’t need to go if anything they should be preserved for posterity, still would be funny if they plastered “cheater” on them maybe make a total new set just for that.
Well, at first glance I thought we will see some bans on hackers from such a long list. After checking, i was utterly disappointed. 90% of this list are bot-ers and gaijin has more interest in banning scripts than banning hacks.
Too less, too late. Pitty…

I have never really noticed anyone cheating, aside from one guy maybe in Heli PvP, spawning in other helis on the enemy helipad, he could somehow kill instantly after spawning these reserve helis.
I was shot rarely from weird positions without direct line of sight, but those cases still could be lucky shots through some bushes.
On the other hand I do not check my replays often.
Yea, try realistic ground battles. it happens all the time. Ran into one last night, dropped 19 kills popping smoke and shooting through it.

I play only Ground RB
That number of cheaters should shrink in size over the next few months anyways.
Knowing Gaijin. I highly doubt it. Theres a youtube channel called “W.T.C.S” Or War Thunder Cheat Shaming. Posts at least 2 times a week showing all the cheaters in game. According to his list of over 1k cheaters, barely any got banned this ban wave this wave was mostly bot accounts. Which is more important to Gaijin because it messes with the grind system and apparently loses them more revenue because they bypass all the premiums you need to buy to just be able to progress.

There are still too many use of perspective plugins in tank warfare
In the past few days, I have seen the official crackdown on cheating scripts and permanently banned 4000 accounts. I feel that the real gaming environment should be better now. But yesterday and today, I still encountered many people who used perspective plugins. Watching the replay video, this person always aimed a gun at an enemy he should not have seen. The most abnormal thing was that he shot a person, and then the muzzle always ran towards the enemy hiding behind the stone. So I killed 8 consecutive… His name is Jade_ Fox. Attach the follow-up video address

They can just rename them to something better…
They change the verbiage (the human-readable name) of things in the game all the time. All game companies do. There is no law that prevents them from doing so.
They also change the state of game assets (such as making vehicles store sales to making them GE premiums, or removing decals people paid for that are now offensive to some) all the time. Again, absolutely no reason they couldn’t here, too. You’re grasping at straws to defend cheating.

That’s precisely why it’s important to use user IDs when reporting thru replays
Good job, gentlemen, I hope there will be more such news.
True
BOTs?Yes! The real Hacker?No!
However, the total number of bans this time is equivalent to the accounts that Gaijin banned for a year before. It can only be said that it is still progress.

Bots for sinking ships, in tank battles it’s players with illegal mods.
Ironically, most of them use Russian vehicles almost exclusively and were almost always Russian or Chinese players.
There were very few of them that didn’t have a Russian name or battle group.
As I said, 4000 players is nothing when I consider that players who are obviously cheating are not banned.
For example, this is not a bot and this Player is still active.
The video is now several months old from a Sim Battle.
