My account was permanently banned after being hacked – requesting help. please!

Hello,
I’m reaching out to the community and any available moderators or Game Masters regarding a serious issue with my War Thunder account.

My account (username: Mate_Amargo, ID: 74965099) was permanently banned on July 2 due to “unsportsmanlike conduct.” However, I believe this happened as a result of my account being hacked.
I have been playing War Thunder for many years. I’m level 100, I’ve unlocked the research trees of several nations without using a premium account, and I have numerous event vehicles and custom camouflages. This is my favorite game, and I even built my PC specifically to play it.

In the past months, I noticed strange behavior on my account:

  • Vehicle presets changed in nations I hadn’t used recently
  • Graphic settings resetting every time I launched the game
  • My clan (with real-life friends) was suddenly deleted
    At the time, I thought these were technical issues on my end. Sadly, I later discovered that my account had been accessed from locations like France and Japan, while I live in Argentina and never play outside my country. I activated two-factor authentication, but unfortunately it was too late.

When I tried to log in on July 2, I was met with a permanent ban notification.
I’ve already submitted an official ticket via Gaijin Support and included a detailed letter and explanation of the situation. Still, I am posting here in case a moderator or staff member can assist, verify the case, or help escalate it further. I am fully willing to provide any required information or verification.
I am attaching below screenshots of my login history showing my location (San Luis, Argentina), along with locations such as Japan and France, which are responsible for the fraud. I am also attaching a screenshot of my claim submitted to Gaijin’s official support.

Thanks in advance for your time and any help.

Sincerely,
Mate_Amargo

Big red flag and that doesn’t just set it off? Technical issues don’t just randomly change presets and clan deletions.

Plus Gaijin is really really strict and heavy-handed. Whatever happens to your account is solely your responsibility.

Man.

To be fair to the OP, I have had my graphics change because Nvidia decided to “optimize” my games when I didnt even do it myself. Everything else wasnt a red flag, it was a red banner behind a tow plane

Yeah I had some graphical changes which is why I didn’t mention it. Still this is like hearing klaxons go off from an imminent nuclear strike and instead of evacuating you go to the blast zone for a leisurely walk type of red-flag.

Pretty much

I’m not blaming Gaijin in any way, I’m just asking for help. I take full responsibility for my actions — in fact, I no longer have access to my account.

I’m sorry Mate, but once it’s banned, it’s banned. Nothing much to do. Gaijin doesn’t offer second chances for what I’ve seen.

They do sometimes. Had all but one preset deleted in each nations a few times on major updates. Same with weapon presets. Sometimes they get unselected or half the weapons in them disappear.

Hi, None of us can assist with this. You have to go through support.

Whatever decision they give would be the final say.
