Stream snipers

i have had a problem with stream snipers that’s becoming a problem. its two individuals that been getting in squads and targeting me in yak9k’s while in ground battles which is very frustrating. is there anything i can do to get some help? i have screenshots of them openly admitting that they are doing it and they used there in game names on twitch too

I learned this trick from Technoblade (RIP the Greatest of all time). Try saying something different from what you are doing. Like “imma push the B point” then go to C or smth

Add live stream delay if possible, in-game privacy settings and other ways to “disguise” your gameplay. In War Thunder, in Options → Main parameters → Privacy and Confidentiality then disable Display yourself in leaderboards, and set Hide player nicknames to Change players nickname.


*If you have access to Premium time also disable the highlighted settings Display real nick in battle and menu and Display clan in battle and menu.

Also, I recommend turning off your chat to avoid such issues from players crossreferencing (if you use the previous recommended settings) other player’s nickname at Options → Main parameters → Chat and Voice Chat at Chat Messages set it to System only.

For last, select all servers when starting a gameplay during live stream if you really want to go further to avoid Stream sniping

That’s laughable and doesn’t really help when you have eyes to watch the live stream while playing the game.

Most stream snipers listen to what you are saying since they cant watch you play and then themselves at the same time. Still, what you are saying will help quite a bit more than my advice

The tips above are the same ones that i usually also give. In addition to that you can change the BR and nation you play while hiding your game from stream and only reveal the game again once you are in a match. That way stream snipers don’t know what to queue up for or when.

If they are breaking the rules in the matches you are in then you can report them using the in-game complaint system or server replay (depending on what issue it is you are reporting).
