We’re constantly working to improve your experience in War Thunder, this time by removing griefers and exploiters. We rely on our team of Game Masters who look at statistics, as well as on reports from players that they carefully go through. You can use the replay service on our website as well as in-game reports to report players who have violated the Terms of Service and the License Agreement of the game to us.
Banned accounts
Since October 22nd, we’ve issued punishments to 25,013 accounts that were found to have violated the rules. Specifically, 23,872 were banned for different time frames for breach of section 2 of “Annex #1. Game Rules” in the Gaijin Terms of Service namely for teamkilling (including intentional ramming). 1,190 were banned due to breaching paragraphs 3.2.3 and 3.2.4 of the End User License Agreement (EULA) namely in exploiting game flaws and manipulating the game mechanics.
For transparency, we’re publishing the lists of 2,728 players who have been issued a ban of 1 week or longer (up to the permanent ban), the remaining 22,285 players have been suspended for a shorter amount of time as a warning of appropriate severity. These lists will be available for two weeks after the publication of this article.
Recommendations
We’d like to remind you to abide to the rules to keep up the friendly and competitive atmosphere in the game.
As always, we also 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 account for additional security. This will protect your account from fraudsters. And remember, don’t break the rules and never share your account information with anyone!
