I think I’ve quit at least 20 battles today due to botters ruining the game. Until this is resolved I suggest people avoid naval like the plague…
This is the second recent wave, the first one yesterday was in AB. They’re all fresh accounts, created today. So far Gaijin is batch-cancelling them within hours of creation. Both waves happened during EU play hours or earlier, by NA play time yesterday seems to have been mostly cleared up.
They’re bot sellers, trying both to pen-test and sell bots to players. I get it it’s frustrating but not sure what more the company could do here.

I’ve never seen player bots (not Gaijins filler bots), at least in large scale, especially not on RB which bots can’t take advantage of auto aim.
It used to be very common a few years back, you can still find plenty of players in games that have tens or even hundreds of thousands of games in a single premium ship, most often the Moffet and single digit kills and zero other ships played.
Gaijin did a pretty thorough job stamping it out, but I guess the new auto repair and arcade auto aim has encouraged them to take another go at.

In NRB on SA servers this has been an ongoing issue for at least the last few months. There was a period where it seemed to not be as much of an issue though around summertime.
To the uninformed
What particulary is the issue in the picture that prevents you from spawning?
Bots, and not Gajin’s bots, player created bots.

technically nothing, but all those random letter+number usernames are bot accounts, im assuming he doesnt feel like playing against those
now most of these scripts that these accounts run are fairly primitive so they rarely pose a real threat, but having 20+ bots in a single match is pretty wild
not sure how it would work, but my guess is they’re trying to capitalize on the new damage control mechanic
They are, it’s not like they are just twiddling their thumbs.
First random bot in the match i searched for on the main war thunder website:

Banned you say…
The botters will keep making new accounts. You just have to keep reporting them
Well yeah. Those are different accounts (and the ones on the bottom half with “normal” names are game created AI to fill the lobby).
