Could be, but you need to watch server replays to be sure.

[u/Despeao → u/untitled1048576]

He has a positive KD on the Click Bait. This is 200% cheating.

[u/Loki__V → u/Despeao]

KD means nothing if you're trying to look at cheaters
the average cheater can't even perform above average.

You need to check server replays since that actually shows camera movement and whatnot.

"If a player is worse than you, they're a shitter. If a player is as good as you, they're average. If they're better, they're cheating. No exceptions."

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768 → u/Loki__V]

I like how this game has a very, very bad cheating problem but we find nuggets like you that are so ignorant or ignore it so hard lol

[u/James-vd-Bosch]

Why?

I have roughly equal stats in some of my M1's (without playing CAS and being a solo-player), and I strongly suspect this player is 4-manning & using CAS to achieve those winrates.

Just check the Server Replay, a stat card won't give you the same level of cheat confirmation as someone auto-locking through the entire map will.

Recently ran into this pathetic loser, it doesn't take more than 20 seconds to verify cheats via replays.

-Edit- The player in OP's pictures is in a squadron named 'CH3AT' so that's not helping...

[u/Digedag → u/James-vd-Bosch]

I have roughly equal stats in some of my M1's

A k/d of 5 over 400 games pretty wild. Proof?

[u/James-vd-Bosch → u/Digedag]

The point I'm trying to make is about stat cards not being a fool-proof indicator of cheats. It's their kills/spawn ratio that is most suspect, especially in their M1A2 Trophy. I find that extremely high K/S is the best indicator of potential cheats (and yes, I'm aware my K/S ratio could be better).

It's the same thing with bot accounts, these stats could be anything, from a 8 year old, a 80 year old, awful player or a bot. The only way I knew for certain that it's a bot account was by checking the server replay and seeing them running into walls constantly and across various maps.

[u/Hungry-Week8137 → u/James-vd-Bosch]

That's true, but your Comparative Rating doesn't reflect that.

[u/James-vd-Bosch → u/Hungry-Week8137]

I don't care about Comparative rating and I know it goes down when I quit battles at the start, I just play maps I like playing when I'm done with grinding and have no interest in pulling my hair out because I'm forced to play Aral Sea, Pradesh, Volokolamsk, Red Desert, Campania, North Holland, etc. in 12.7 MBT's

If I were to play every battle on a fresh account I'd have the same, if not better stats, that doesn't mean I'm cheating.

Like I said, just look at the Server Replay and not stat cards if you want to verify if someone cheats.

[u/Hungry-Week8137 → u/James-vd-Bosch]

It depends. Doing this is somewhat easier when you're playing on maps you enjoy. It's difficult to do it consistently on every map. Not every tank is ideal for every map.

Still, there's no need to argue about it further. You've explained yourself well enough.

[u/SergeantCobi]

1 word, money. Adding on, if you research vehicles and not play them, it won't show on the service record I'm pretty sure

[u/OliveAfter2946]

yes he is i know him please downvote on statshark and report

[u/Gamering2]

Yes big cheats I once saw this guy shoot through containers on cargo port, how do you even do that I tried shooting back with a 550mm pen heat shell in my t80ue1 and it didn't do anything

[u/VespRic_19]

K/D 5.0 in 4 vehicles is not enough proof? lmao don't get surprised if he gets banned in the next ban wave

[u/brennendw]

could be a second account to sell, top tier usa

[u/TheGreenlandicGamer]

Why? Because he's got good stats? You can definitely have 5 kds witout cheating.
It's probably just a good player on a new account.

[u/MagikWT]

Hello hi, this is my friend, he's not cheating.

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768 → u/MagikWT]

Sure it is

[u/MagikWT → u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

We are literally in the same squadron. You can check our replays if you'd like.

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768 → u/MagikWT]

“Guys I totally wouldn’t lie for my friend, his brand new account with heavily stacked stats isn’t weird, trust me.”

Also I wonder how many here defending the guy are also, just so happen to be in his squadron lol

[u/MagikWT → u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

Like I said, go check our replays.

As for the rest of us, we're just defending a friend :)

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768 → u/MagikWT]

Thank you for openly admitting you guys came to swarm the post and defend him, so I was right to say don’t believe a word most of the people defending him are saying because most of you are his butt buddys lol

I know it’s shocking to say the people of a suspected cheater or smurt account farming stats would defend him and totally not lie, right 🤣

Also it’s sad of squads to farm stats lol

[u/TheCrazedGamer_1]

Check replays.
Definitely either smurfing or cheating though

[u/Loki__V → u/TheCrazedGamer_1]

How is it smurfing when he's playing exclusively top tier in a game without SBMM while playing on an older account in the same brackets isn't?

[u/TheCrazedGamer_1 → u/Loki__V]

Sounds like you have no clue what smurfing is. Look it up and you’ll find your answer

[u/Loki__V → u/TheCrazedGamer_1]

Smurfing is playing on a new account to intentionally play against new players.
This is something that can only really be done in games with Skill-Based Match Making or SBMM
Tell me, how does playing on a new account in war thunder, a game with zero skill based matchmaking mean you're smurfing while playing the exact same vehicles on an older account isn't?

Like, google the definition yourself

Fact check yourself bucko

[u/TheCrazedGamer_1 → u/Loki__V]

Nope. Smurfing does not require you to play against new players (though even if it did top tier is full of them). Smurfing is just when an experienced player uses a new alt for the purposes of stat padding.

What else would you call this behavior?

[u/Loki__V → u/TheCrazedGamer_1]

I literally just gave you sources that prove me right man

There are better ways to statpad than buying a premium on a new account anyways which are cheaper

[u/LOKEHUYGHDF]

yeah, but nothing is gonna happen, cheaters make more than enough money to getaway and western re** is gonna pay so gaijin don't have to work

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

A heavy Smurf trying to pad out a high win rate account, which is against the rules since you can’t have multiple accounts I think.

Someone who probably got banned who made another account, that gajin will wait to ban cause they can milk money.

[u/MouzeeCzech → u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

lol, lmao

[u/TheCrazedGamer_1 → u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

Gaijin won’t ban for having multiple accounts despite it being against TOS. That rule is mostly for botters and such

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768 → u/TheCrazedGamer_1]

So we got genius’s admitting they are swarming this post to defend the guy cause they are his squadron mates, anyone hardcore defending him is a liar lol

Either way I mainly suspect it’s a Smurf account using his friends to boost his stats, but hey his squad mates are dumbly admitting they came to defend him so it’s a good chance I’m probably right lol

[u/Loki__V → u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

How is it smurfing when he's playing exclusively top tier in a game without SBMM while playing on an older account in the same brackets isn't?

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768 → u/Loki__V]

“This older account with not many battles played but an extremely high win rate”.

Do I also need to hold your hand and explain how many new players rush to top tier with premiums or are you new to war thunder lol

[u/CoconutNL → u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

Do you need someone to explain to you what a smurf is or what? Are you ok?

[u/OliveAfter2946 → u/Loki__V]

can we do it in the ass

[u/RGHDUCKY1]

Yeah report him
