Player using hacks

[SghHanzMullerSW]

How many of you has gotten killed by players using instakill hacks and aimbot. they shoot at you and the shot didnt penetrate and killed you anyway and they who shoot from the spawn and gets penetration on the only little place on your tank where you got weak armor and is almost impossible to hit from that distanse.

That's not a hack. That's just the game X-ray thingy not showing exactly what happened. Most of the time it's BS but it's most certainly not a hack

If the shot goes through rocks and objects that can't be shot through, then they might be using hacks. But if it was a very long range shot, it was either super luck or they boosted the rangefinder perk for the gunner which helps for that kind of shot. Of course, the one shot kills are a pest but do you research about each tank and use the xray to see where the weakest parts are for that tank.

Even if the shot does not penetrate and still destroys your tank when they shoot at the place where i got best armor.

And when you can see on the kill cam the shot missed you and still you got killed or when they shoot at a teamate that is behind them and somehow they shoot at your teamate and kills you insted and on the kill cam you can see them hit your teamate on for example on their tracks and kills you.

new match first spawn, (spawn killed in less then 5 sek the game hasent even started almost!!!) OMG serious is it not a hack then O.o
if so should they put more protection but it is only a problem they shoot through the houses!

Hah many times. Being killed instantly when I hit the guy million times and he never dies. It`s ANNOYING.

Ok but what tank were you using and what shot you. Because at long distances a Leo shooting heat will go right through even the thickest armor no able to be penned by conventional ballistics.

nope,never experienced what you say here.

95% of all the "hacker please ban!" messages I get, turn out to be a case of Lag.
You will see it on your kill feed that he shoot through a solid object (A rock, house, hill etc) where in fact, on his side of the connection, he moved out slightly and took the shot.

The server agree'd with this as being valid and so the shot connected and you were killed.

The same applies in the air with 'sparkles'. This is where the server disagrees that you hit your target due to lag on your part or theirs.

I have seen some legitimate ESP hacks (Where player tags and locations are displayed at all times) which is more a problem in RB\SB than in AB. However that being said, each and every one gets picked up and said user removed from the game permanently. Once one person is picked up, its very easy to identify other users by the characteristics of the software and from there add code to automatically ban upon use.

TL:DR This is not a 'git gud' or 'L2P' issue. This is more just understanding how the game works.

bs mechanics, seen plenty of those, hacks, ziltch.
remember ping and packet loss can contribute a whole lot more to this then what you think, that and shotty hit registry, the planes and tanks being seen through rocks and enviroment models not matching the decal (you can shoot through a block or a rock or an invisable wall)

[ℬℓα⊂₭ ℙℜ¡ℵ₠]

Also, you can shoot through about 1 foot of snow most the time I think?

It does not need to penetrate to cause damage. You may get some spalling that can kill crew members. It tends to happen when you get hit by larger HE shells but any kind of AP can still cause it to happen.

Don't always believe the x-ray cam. It is far from perfect and can make mistakes. I hit a Panzer 38(t) with a 128mm APCBC and the x-ray cam only showed my shell hitting the track and obviously that would not kill it. I've had x-ray views show me that it bounced but told my ammo was set off (probably by a fragment.) Like said before, high ping and packet loss can cause it to appear like people are hacking or show some weird stuff at times.

I was killed by a tank on the Stalingrad map, shooting me several times through the wall. The "kill cam" even showed the projectile going through the solid wall. I did write it off as a bug at the time, as the map was brand new, but who knows?

Anyway, there is a well known autoaim cheat (technically not a hack), which is very effective when playing tanks as it not only aims automatically at the target, but at weak spots automatically as well.
