It’s fixed! №107 + Update 2.47.0.68

[GNDM_Panzer]

Been playing this game for years and didn’t even know that.

What is even the point to having an anti-cheat system if you don’t even use it? For show? Massive bruh moment.

Tecnically we have BattlEye

@Stona_WT

This error occurred on a number of vehicles where the thickness of the curved armor segment was not very high, which is why the shell decided to ignore it altogether. Thanks to your reports, we quickly fixed this problem!

Something else at the same time. If, in the example above, the shells ignored armor thickness, then in the case of shrapnel hitting the crew members, their “thickness” suddenly began to be taken into account! The crew should be damaged by any hits, but due to this error, shrapnel flying at acute angles might not cause damage to them.

What is the minimum armor thickness required for the ricochet mechanic to work? Ricochet does not work on the HSTVL turret or the RDFLT, those components are aluminum 5083 but are 25.4mm in thickness

@Stona_WT

A chambered shell hits a curved armor segment at an extreme angle

its not exactly chambered anymore if its been fired…

glad to see something about armour holes be done tho

[Kicimijazawa]

@Stona_WT

we added a new setting “Ignore bad weather and airfield spawn”

Can you also add switch to set airfield take off as default?

@Stona_WT

we quickly fixed this problem!

How quick was that? (literally no idea)

[Valarune]

Thanks for that link but my god let me have a toggle so I can spawn airfield and not have air spawns jammed down my throat.

@Internet_exp

WT has easy anticheat as anti-cheat system.

WT does not use EasyAC anymore. It uses BattleEye now.

@Stona_WT

we added a new setting “Ignore bad weather and airfield spawn”. Enable it - and the air spawn point will always be selected by default, regardless of weather conditions.

What a waste of resources for developers to introduce something that simply no one will ever use, can´t wait for the next useless mechanic in the next mayor update.

[Xolaste]

The game yearns for another decompression, a proper one this time, in an ideal world, 16.0 max BR mayhaps?

[Beeschurger]

If i was to wear my tinfoil hat id say this was used to test viability of balancing CAS by forcing an airfield spawn.

Of course since gaijin kept it optional now gaijin can say such method isnt viable because everyone prefered the airspawn, duh.

[Leinadmix9_ツ]

Give me another tinfoil hat, i am in

[LoSpilotoITA]

Same as @Leinadmix9_ツ

[Hellman_x]

It likely doesn’t factor aluminum.

[MJPIA]

Oh I get it now, I misread score as rewards, thanks for the clarification.

Edit #1 and #2 with corrections for my OG post

EDIT #2: CONFIRMED, yeah Air RB does NOT require Anti Cheat (now only below 11.0 BR). I just started a match @ 6.7 BR without Anticheat enabled. I will cleanup my post below in a moment, ty @LoSpilotoITA for the correction.

EDIT #1: Read first, looks like I might be incorrect about Air RB mode. Will edit my post once I 100% confirm, sorry if I was incorrect:

@SilentTracker

@LoSpilotoITA

Air RB was not included. And that’s the disappointing part for me

Really? Sure about that? … I thought it was all RB modes, sorry if I was incorrect in my post, will edit in a few mins. Going to do more double checking here too.

What is even the point to having an anti-cheat system if you don’t even use it?

Please read the details and stop freaking out.

First off: Anti cheat has always been enabled for most Realistic and Simulator Modes. Land and Sea. It was only Air RB that did not have Anti cheat enabled (because Air RB has markers).

Furthermore it was always enabled for ALL Naval modes, including Naval Arcade.

So, it was only Ground Arcade, Air Arcade, and Air Realistic that did not have anti cheat required (because they use markers). That’s it. Stop with the hyperbole please. Take a moment, take a breath, and understand the situation before jumping to extreme conclusions.

Please carefully read all of what Stona posted too:

@Stona_WT

Mandatory anti-cheat for top BRs

We’re gradually expanding the scope of mandatory anti-cheat in War Thunder. In addition to the unmarked modes where it was already enabled

@Stona_WT

Until now, we hadn’t required anti-cheat in marked modes, since the presence of markers already greatly limits unfair play.

Original Post with incorrect info about Air RB having anticheat. I have rewritten this post above, but am leaving the Original behind a spoiler here so the old replies to this post make sense.

[MotorolaCRO]

ARB is a mode with markers.

[LoSpilotoITA]

And that was disappointing. I thought it was always active and being a ARB player I question a lot of my opponents

[LoSpilotoITA]

Not accusing anyone of cheating is just about trust
