We keep fighting cheaters using your reports and the BattlEye anti-cheat system, and as usual, today we’re sharing a bit of info on bans that we’ve distributed over the past month. If you’d like to help keep War Thunder free from cheating, you can find out how to file a report and how our anti-cheat system works on our Wiki.
Banned accounts
Since our last fair play update, we have banned that were found to have violated the rules, specifically paragraph 3.2.3 of the EULA, namely the automation of gameplay (use of bots) and cheat software.
Additionally, (up to four months) and were issued for breaching paragraph 3.2.4 of the EULA. These violations involved collusion with the opposing team to facilitate repetitive zone capturing and/or benefiting from mutual damage without the intent to engage in combat. These cases were identified in Tank Simulator Battles (in some instances involving the use of multiple accounts) and among Xbox accounts with cross-platform play disabled.
Furthermore, have been banned for a week or longer for intentional teamkilling and griefing, including .
We have also issued () for abuse of the referral system, including creating and progressing multiple referral accounts through automation, staging sessions to gain unfair advantages, and/or sharing accounts with players involved in such activities. In addition, involved in referral system fraud have been permanently banned, the majority of which were preemptively identified.
Finally, a total of has been deducted from as a result of fraudulent referral activity.
For complete transparency, we will publish the full list of permanently banned players. This list will be available for two weeks following the publication of this article.
Recommendations
We recommend that you set a strong password for your account and enable two-step authentication in your profile security settings. We have the following 2FA options available: email, SMS, TOTP (Gaijin Pass/Google Authenticator).
We’d also suggest that you turn on 2FA for the email that is linked to your Gaijin account for additional security, as this will protect your account from fraudsters. And remember, don’t use prohibited client modifications and never share your account information with anyone.
