HACKER PROBLEM?

[DazBootz916]

Anybody else notice a massive climb in the amount of hackers?

Can't say I've never seen one, but its only just been the one. Ever. 2700 hours. Just one.

If there have been more, nothing about their play suggested it to me. If they are there, I outplay them regardless.

[Big Slim]

No. It's always ludicrously high.

They just have really good gaming chairs...

Of curiosity though, I do wonder what cheats people think they're seeing so often.

I run strategies that place myself in the wide open with neither literal or visual cover, using only the concept of subversion of expectations to keep me safe and I've run those positions for a long time with great success. Were cheats that reveal my position being used, these positions simply wouldn't work as I'd be seen clear as day.

Penetration and armor cheats can't really be a thing given the server side nature of the game. I've been claimed for cheating plenty of times for knowing where someone was when I shouldn't be able to, yet I was tracking the guy for as many as 3 minutes straight.

Most claims of cheats are simply players blaming mistakes of their own on things they can't control simply to remove that blame from themselves. Easier to blame cheats than yourselves. I won't deny their existence, just their frequency of occurrence.

I have only seen 1 time in 1600 hours

There is a youtube channel specifically makes video of the cheaters and there are quite alotta content there. That plus the long list of banned players are probably evidence enough of the cheating problem in this game. Personally I have found a handful of cheaters beyond suspicion, but then again I only check players that are REALLY suspicious.

What kind of cheats do you think they are using?

Brother they are msotly low tier players at top tier i never faced cheaters but only one time that i wrote the name down a d it went on the ban list
I remember starting the game i faced cheaters mostly at lower tiers and not that much maybe every 50 games there was 1

Thing about ban lists is they also include bots. I see many of those. I've also seen videos claiming cheaters and genuinely couldn't tell what the cheat was supposed to be after watching it was that poor of an example. Perhaps there are good examples out there. I've yet to see a convincing amount in any of my matches though.

Nah Top Tier ain't immune to cheating either, lots of em just buy their way back once they got banned, I heard they have been doing it with Argentinian or Turkish currency to minimize the cost too.

That's true, idk how many of those in the ban list are bots.
Check this WTCheatShaming guy on YT, steam won't let me post link here.

Not true. I won't tell you how it's done because it's probably a banning offense to discuss it, but God Armor and ammo cheats exist in WT. There is another really nasty one I've seen in a youtube video and possibly witnessed once personally, that basically allows a player to kill any other player at any time but it's really obvious when used. Most parasite cheaters are just building accounts to sell on the black market and don't want to get caught.

I saw a cheat just yesterday, probably first time that I can clearly say that he is cheating, first time in thousands of hours. I think the fellow was using some autoaim cheat programme. It was obvious because the fellow was using a Centurion Mk 5 AVRE, and he shot one round at the beginning of the battle from our spawn to the enemy spawn destroying an enemy tank in the Golden Quarry map.

I went to look at his statistics, he had hundreds of kills in that tank and barely any deaths. He also had only used 3-4 other tanks. Some dude using the moniker of HAMASsomething.. I cannot remember now.

Hi, we're banning cheaters/botters monthly, you can see the number and the names of the players who were banned in our Fair Play articles.

If you encounter someone you suspect is cheating, please report them using the replay service. These reports greatly help us. Instructions on how to do that are here: https://support.gaijin.net/hc/en-us/articles/13029018151185-How-to-report-unsportsmanlike-conduct-or-use-of-restricted-modifications many thanks!
