The banwave system is flawed in itself. And it’s part of the problem.

The banwave system is why there are less cheaters than there otherwise would be.
Instant bans give too much information to the cheat developers and allow them to patch flaws quicker.
Waves means only 4 - 12 times a year do cheat devs get information from games that their software has been spotted.
Banwaves also have a psychological impact on cheaters that have built up an account. Instant bans cause less emotional damage than delayed bans.
Banwaves mean a lower chance of that cheater playing the game again.

Can’t someone figure out a way to stop cheating full stop? It really makes playing fairly pointless.

Wrong. The banwave system allows cheaters to build up a nice account, so they come back and make a new one and buy premiums “to get back to where they were.”. It LETS THEM cheat for a certain amount of time. It’s strategic.
Yes Gaijin says making more accounts is now against ToS. LOL but saying something and enforcing something are two different things.
I don’t care about memey Pirate Software false drama so I didn’t click your link.
I bet gaijix secretly enjoying this, since only cheaters keep repurchasing the same vehicle over and over again lol

If they did Gaijin wouldn’t use the banwave system.
Cheaters also do this thing called charge backs, which costs Gaijin money.

You can initiate a chargeback after you played the vehicle for 6 months?

There are cheaters but I think they are pretty rare. Scouting is basically a game mechanic that gives everyone wall hacks.
Few times I’ve been bothered to check replays for a cheater I didn’t find anything that would point to them cheating.
I assume like 90% or more of the cheating reports people don’t even bother to check themselves and I feel kinda bad for the game mods that have to sift through endless replays on bad reports. Because unless they have access to a better replay system than we have im sure it sucks lol. Can’t even rewind server replays.
IDK, the only charge back I did was related to a sole proprietor that scammed me and I initiated it same week.
Either way ban waves prevent less players in the future from coming back due to more loss of progress, as well as giving cheat devs less knowledge.
Most likely no. 60-120 days is typical for Chargeback coverage from most major cards.
Which may be one of the reasons the waves are so far apart. It is a business after all, ban a bunch of accounts, let them buy new ones and build them up for 4-6 months and hammer them again.

maybe its more of a money related thing since most cheaters dont have time to research the entire tech tree again and will simply buy a certain premium tank from the upper tiers after every ban, this way they might spend some money after six months and will keep on cheating for another six months until next wave so this negates the psychological effect of the ban wave, “your cheating trial period has expired, in order to continue…” kind of thing probably
also i realized that low and middle tier vehicles arent suited for cheating since they lack special features that could allow it such as laser rangefinder, stabilizer or high speed shells… if they attempt to cheat in lower tiers they wont be able to hit targets regardless of perfect aim since low velocity shells combined with target movement means you need to predict the next shots which is something that even autoaim will fail IRL as guidance systems also fail due to erratic human nature in their movement hence why missile dodging is a thing for fighter planes in modern times, most darts travel at 1000km/s and more so anything below 1km is instant death, the fact you start about 1.5km away from enemy in basically every single map also doesnt help at all
if there were only rare event vehicles instead of premiums im sure people would not risk getting banned since they would be hard to get or really expensive cuz for any cheater who also has a job irl paying 30~60$ every six month is probably not as much detrimental economically
Hackers also make money selling accounts and selling their hacks (complete with viruses, lol, so that’s karma for the dweebs who buy them).
They will always have the money to buy up special sale premiums to rebuild another account before the next wave.
Banwave → Sale → Banwave → Sale
hmmm
