What game mode and what BR? If youre talking rank 3 and below...thats all on you bro. No one bothers with that stuff except in high tier matches.

Gaijin admitted the rampant bot problem: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/236390/view/3672173806435938099
in that article they are saying that that bot accounts are being banned. And rampant part is added by you.
Also they say that some non bot players are being reported. Because they are not very active in the matches.

In reality i only saw actual bots in naval (where the worst problem lies) around the moffet area.
In tanks i never saw any evidence of botting. Did you?

I've seen one thing that made me go wtf, I snuck up on a tank that was shooting at someone else, his turret was pointed at the other guy and I sent my first shot, the moment I fired, his turret snapped around 90 degrees and he shot me in an instant.
Other than that, I haven't seen much obvious cheating at least.

they never said it was rampant.
only certain modes had bots, also since then I haven't seen many talk about bots at all just nuts like OP and you who got no clue.
people that actually know a thing or 2 about the game know it ain't rampant and that it has got a lot better.

In AB, half of my team is always literally whole game basecamping with stats like 0-3, they don't speak nor use team commands, and my enemies are sniping me through the whole map including ground and rocks and other obstacles. In RB, there is always some one @$%@ exploiting aircraft with stats like 15-0 and you can't do anything at all, so I don't see how it got any better, matches are not close hence it is mostly r train, balance is a joke, and bots are a plague.

There is no cheat that allows you to shoot through objects.

Kill cams aren't accurate. Never have been.
Watch the SERVER replay of said players, and you'll see it's all on the up and up.

Just because people don't speak or use team commands doesn't make them a bot. If it's people like you on my team, why would I want to communicate with you?

And why would I want to have you in my team if you can't communicate? Good players at least send pings when they see or hear enemy tanks, if you don't communicate, you are not a part of a team you are just a lone loser.

Haven´t touched AB for ages but I remember I could lock on and fire at enemies as soon they were spotted. Even through woods and destroyable obstacles. I´ve killed a lot this way and none of them saw me coming. That´s no cheat, that´s Arcade

Good players don't think everyone cheats or bots either.

That wasnt cheating, it was server desync

Being misanthropist, or even cynical or paranoid, have nothing to do with the skills. Most of the MMO games have more or less rigged mechanics, like in the example matchmaking that gives you team of bots vs team of actual good players. You can easily observe bots, there is nothing to think about, because they are just dumb. Like, why in the seventh hell would you like to camp on your own spawn for the whole 15m game? And you know that this dude is doing this every time, cause you can check his stats. Or why can't you let through your ally to enter the turn first when rushing the city square, instead of both colliding and blocking the road for others and getting killed one by one, there is a lot of dumb stuff that only bots can do notoriously, because human would learn or just got bored.

I never said that bots don't exist.

But the game isn't full of bots or cheaters.

Hi, we are working to improve the bot situation, which is a constant on-going process:

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/236390/view/3672173806435938099

As for cheaters, we're working to ban as many as we can, and when we do, we usually announce it:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/236390/announcements/detail/3672173806435925755

If you suspect a cheater or a bot, please report in-game via the new report options we added.

Well if even a Dev comments on the situation it is pretty much confirmed to be a problem.
