@NikmanGT Have you ever played Silence Parkour? They all hang out there with their fast mines, aimbot, BSO, unflipping hacks, and clickers.

They usually equip mammoth, Heavyweight too, so they don't get flipped, it's no aim bot it's manual aiming, for clickers I agree, but then those accounts are fairly banned/blocked.

At legend ranks too ?

Yes, I have seen them at legend rank too. It is much more common in parkour battles than special events for legends. It is the opposite around the warrant officer ranks.

I am aware they use mammoth with heavy weight (and a few use hovering hulls) and a lot of this who kill others use striker with the cyclone launcher alteration. I have seen more than a few players (a good 15-20) use short aim time, various aimbots (auto-lock, extreme vertical angle, etc), and hypersonic missiles.

I am not a legend, I am the rank with three gold stars and its name I can't remember. I have seen legends in parkour though and I have seen a hand full of hackers too. I have seen the aimbots, supply spammers, auto clickers, etc. I have seen players with striker be able to aim through walls or be able to shoot the 8 missile salvo in under a second of aiming.

[Bowser448 321]

I have a mid ranked account and I decided to play three MM battles to get my account back on the lobby chat and get this, I encountered 12 hackers, yes TWELVE of them. This ranged from a simple speed hack all the way to shoot through wall hacks, damage hacks, instant overdrive recharges (without supply), etc.

Why don't you guys who claim to see hackers everywhere actually record a video as proof? 

Unless I am blind, I never encounter hackers of any kind in my battles. At least since the past few years.

x2 The last time I met one was in an event, he used the typical jump, but we were two assistants in that game, so we reported him and he was banned, from there, I haven't seen any for about 3 years

Not every can afford a video recording software.

I got a new computer a few months ago and it's unable to record. I can take screenshots however.

[ELECTR0_DRAG0N 223]

@2shots2kills I have 3 alternate accounts and I see players who hack all the time. The reason of this is because I play in event mode. Event mode and hackers is like a magnet and a ton of metal balls. They attract. The most I see on this account, which I am commander ranks by the way, is sabotage.

If you got windows then try Win button + g.

Windows Game Bar exists. Pressing Win+Alt+G records the past 30 seconds displayed on-screen.

For this, the "Background Recording" option must be toggled ON in the settings, else it won't work, and you will have to record the clips by either Win + G and then clicking record button or either Win + alt + R.

Umh I mean there's OBS, which is free and it's what I use when I need to record something. 

I don't know about the system requirements tho, I guess that depends on the PC.

Yeah. And TBH, I feel like "seeing hackers everywhere" is a bit of an exaggeration. When I returned to the game, I only saw a small amount of legit hackers, most of which were tame and tolerable enough that I didn't have a problem with and stayed. Only a few were so bad that I ended up leaving the battle. I don't know about everyone else here, but I don't like having to go through all the trouble just to get the player in trouble when I can just leave the battle and join another one.

 

However I'll give the complaints the benefit of the doubt since features like drones, ODs, and status effects can also be seen as hacks. And to be fair they're technically legal hacks.

Thanks for the tip guys! I will consider doing that in the future.

[Inkling_Boy 124]

I debated starting my own topic for this, but a moderator would likely merge it and I think it's appropriate to discuss here

If you guys have any ideas to improve the anti-cheat system, please feel free to suggest them here as well

[Inkling_Boy 124]

I will go first. This may not be the best idea because it would he hard to add in an update and not applicable for certain battles. Of those of us who drive and have our licenses should be aware of a thing called a speed limit. Tanki should have a smart system that detects the max speed of a hull and if a tank goes more than 5% over that speed, they get pulled over and receive a ticket (get banned for hacking). This max speed would change according to speed ups, speed enhancing drones, and hull modification. This speed limit is only for catching speed hackers and speed can increase rapidly in parkour, so disabled there.

I like the idea and this is like an auto-ban, right? I am assuming it is an auto ban for this post. So if there is a player that goes 5% faster due to others shooting at him making him go faster and he has lightweight construction (who uses this in actual battles though?), then he gets banned for playing the game. Maybe at 10%, instead of 5%, the player is removed from the battle automatically and battle moderators receive a message the player has exceeded the limit and they will then have the username of the player. If the player exceeds the limit by 20%, then the ban should automatically be issued.

Yes, it is a method of auto banning. Also, you have a good point and if the speed is under a certain point, a moderator can always come and investigate. Makes for a more legitimate ban if the player is increasing their speed by 15% and they will likely use it and get removed again, again, and again. Eventually, a moderator should be able to track them down and ban them. 

[Bowser448 321]

I also think there should be a height roof for how high up players can get without getting banned. Of course this would be disabled in parkour. If a tank gets a certain amount of distance above the ground, then they are automatically banned. There should also be another marker lower down for a notification to be sent to a moderator so a moderator can come and inspect the situation. If a hopper uses an overdrive, they should be immune from the "roof" for 5 seconds.

[Inkling_Boy 124]

Jump hacking and speed hacking have been suggested and this one is for auto clickers, auto supply spamming (those who flood the chat with 1234123412341234...), and fast mines. There should be a censor that detects how many keys were pressed in 1 second and if 20 or more keys are pressed in one second, the player is automatically banned. A warning to a moderator will be sent at 15 keys per second. I find it hard to type more than 5 keys per second, so this should be enough for those who type really fast to not get banned for no reason. This can be enabled in any battle too. This one catches those in parkour the best.

Bruh who in the world plays parkour battles?! There are only bunch of clown losers. Who give a damn if those no lifers spam drugs, mines. They atleast donate their real money to act like monkeys in parkour "battles". 

Parkour battles are like a sandbox in games or rooms where you can hangout, out of real battles. I don't know what they called, but I found such a room in some other games like Minecraft. Eventhough players there are with same personalities and actions in Tanki - buyers collabs, massacre for non-buyers. And you see chat filled with "don't touch ...." or "asem problems?" and many other crummy english words and irritating grammars. Eventhough I went far from the topic, when you enter battle list, there over 40% of them are parkour battles (by the amount of players inside), so yes they're important.

Its one of the few good features that still exists in this game. So its completely understandable for players to want to play in them.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

You guys are still seeing Hackers in pk battles ?
