show me where i saied smt against the anticheat please, all i do is trying to make people aware that the “cheater problem” is by far lesser then they think and as previous mention i bet my left nut that 95% of the “thats a cheater” claims are people that just dont understand the game and disbelieve

You sound like one guy on Youtube talking how theres not so much cheaters then does 5 videos per day every day with bluntly cheaters… Hahahahaha. Anyway you think whatver you want, 14mill players , no cheaters I could not care less… Good luck when BattleEye hits Warthunder.

The risk with estimating the number of cheaters from the number of accounts they ban is that it’s not a closed system. There’s feedback loops to consider.
Before November, 2023, Gaijin rarely banned anyone. Annual bans were in the low 3 figures. In the last year they’ve banned over 60,000 for more than two weeks and it has made a difference.
This was seen most obviously in naval RB. There was a time in early 2023 where the number of players using bot scripts was probably consistently over 50% of that player base some nights, because the player base was so small to start with and there was no punishment for doing so. That changed in late 2023 when Gaijin dramatically increased its ban rate and players stopped using the botscripts before they lost their accounts. In the main modes it never got this bad, but cheating ruined at least one mode for an extended period before Gaijin stepped up their banning actions. (Note this happened even while EAC was running for naval modes.)
So if company action, and the threat of action, can so dramatically change player behavior, what does that number really tell us? Because the annual ban number this year was 60,000, and the ban number the year before was less than 600, do we think the amount of cheaters suddenly increased hundredfold? If anything, as naval RB shows, in fact it’s the opposite. Scare the playerbase, and they will stop cheating so much, seems to be the lesson of Gaijin’s recent experience.
My concern would be that going with the cheaper solution now in BattleEye means that Gaijin is throwing less effort into fighting cheaters, when dramatically increasing their anti-cheating efforts (and presumably anti-cheating effort costs) over the last year has led to some pretty positive results, overall. They were finally starting to take this problem seriously and now it seems they’re looking for ways to spend less. Maybe that’s so they can finally extend anticheat protection to the air modes and ground AB, which they couldn’t afford before. Hopefully that’s the case, anyway.

Well, i agree that naval is infected and was even worse infected by bots… but thats not cheating, and i only care about the “thats a cheater” claim.
And u will never be able to get rid of all bots, nowadays u can let an AI play for you that makes hardware level inputs and play better then some human players… so thats that.
But yes, i like it too that they started to be more aware of the whole situation, but lets be honest, the “lets make this game more fair and competitive” train is long gone.
And yes, the anti cheat software gaijin has used and is using is really not doing much, some people even say that EAC was never updated and therefore was outdated the second month already… gaijin dosnt care, they want money and dont want to spend some. They also do this brainwash system where they do smt bad on purpose to “fix” it later to claim they care… since years. Cause that dosnt cost them anythink, people are still happy when they fix it later and the anger at the start dosnt stop anyone from palying and buying, u cant get more free marketing and crowd controll. Is it the worst? Yes it is. Do people understand? No they dont. Should we blame gaijin for using the human stupidity? Up to you. U can also judge a Casino, but u can also just dont go there. Only issue here, there is no real competition in the game industry rivaling WT. Making it a Monopoly and we all know why Monopolys are bad…
Will better anti cheat/anti bot system make more people play? Maybe, and even if, its a tiny little amount.
Would giving every person a minimum of 3 tanks spawns, even if they only have 1 premium in deck, and also punishing 1 spawn players make the game much better and make people play more? Yes, a very clear yes. I also see the negatives that u basically make the veterans decks less valuable, but lets be honest, i take that cost of having wasted a ton of grind to make a better and more fun game 1000 times.
Would a better Crew system make people less getting punished and rofl stomped if they havend aced the crew, make the game better and make people play more? Yes, also a very clear yes.
Thats just 2 examples, but there is so much shit in this game that people dont understand or are unaware of the impact, gaijin should also focus on that much more.
And i am not even starting with the insane CAS issue we have in the game right now…
Those issues are issues that make the game less fun and ultimately make people spend less and play less… u dont need to be a mathematican to understand this.

Reminder that before Firebirds we had cheaters who could switch their arcade fuze timer on airplanes and could instafuze even if they didnt drop bombs from proper distances.
i use to play on console and i can tell you with 100% certainty that the aim assistance was always a hinderance in every mode, even naval lmao

i went from 170fps to 70… no performance impact my arse
i got the update today, with a noticable performance hit and my fan software not functioning when i play the game anymore…I love roasting my CPU at 90c because god forbid modern systems can change fan speeds without needing to go into the BIOS
aside from a very bad performance hit, i haven’t noticed much but thats because i gave up after 8 matches of non-stop enemy spawn pushes
that would explain why it felt like none of my team heard the Tigers pushing into our spawn…
the aim assist decides to make you aim 3km in front of a plane that is 500m infront of you, it’s a hinderance. you line up a perfect shot and… Sony decides you wanted to shoot the tank barrel instead of the unarmoured side of the tank

You will get the click through EULA as a pop-up I pasted above the first time BattlEye is active on your system

Autoaim makes u lock onto planes, autoaim makes you aware of enemys that are behind cover that u otherwisely wouldnt be able to detect as long as they are rendered.
In situation u dont want to have it, u just dont press the button.
It is a benefit, it will give you an advantage over not having it.

PC has that too, press x or hold right click, as i said before it is useless and doesn’t know how to lead targets (for air and naval) or why you shouldn’t shoot the most armoured part of the tank (for land)
Anything else I should do or am I good to go? cause I’m pretty sure that the EULA pop-up opened yesterday for me.
Incorrect, this was possible before but not anymore
Incorrect
I mean people are on two sticks…like this argument is invalid…
But lets not forget what console gives you:
- Low fps
- desync
- garbage graphics
- half of content
- more expensive limited edition of the game.

Once you get that pop up and hit Ok, then it should try to install Battle Eye. I launched BE from my game folder, it showed me the pop up and I agreed, then it tried to install and just said “Failure to install”. I tried a couple of times and then gave up, went back in the game via EAC launcher I always use and kept playing the rest of the evening, no events.
When I got up and logged in again the next morning BE successfully installed and I have been using it ever since(3-4 days now?), with no changes in performance or game play at all. I don’t know if this is the recommended method, just what I did munkeying around.
Also should be noted that I have had BE to play Destiny 2 on all 3 of my PCs for 3 years or so now and have never had any issues with that game or this one in all that time.
I ofc don’t use any cheats, for ANY game, and I do not even have any user skins or sound mods for WT, just the files they give me any time I install the game, and . . . no issues. This is just me, one isolated case, but nary a problem. Hope that helps. I do not believe it will be a problem for the vast majority of players.
note: I use GeForce Experience, EVGA’s Unleash RGB and a couple other minor RGB programs & some other mouse/keyboard control software, but no antivirus other than Windows Defender. Again, no problems, just regular stuff anyone might have.
