Hacking situation is getting out of hand

4th reply, 3rd spoiler. I have only clips unfortunately, no actual videos. All the clips of that reply is me getting hit by the same player.

Servers have been pretty crappy since August 2022, to be fair, and have been a lot worse than they are currently. Why wasn't this happening in that period of time, but only ever since the first videos of actual aimbot have appeared online, which is towards end of last year?

Make longer clips and send them to violations link. As far as I can tell you, there's not much evidence for me or anyone else to confidently say that those are hacks.

I think we need to rename this game from tanki to Railski.

In honor of the fabulous turret that never misses.

I've never seen this before so I'm inclined to say this is hacks. Can't be lag because it doesn't work this way. Also the fact that the shot hits the wall indicates that the shooter was aiming at the wall, the data sent to the server should be the same regardless of lag.

If I had to guess I'd say it might be a hack that disables walls in the aiming system, which allows the hacker to target players behind walls (with that red outline). When they target and shoot a player behind a wall, their client sends data to the server saying "hey i hit this dude gimme damage" and the server checks if it was possible to hit that player without taking into account the actual direction of the shot for some reason. The result is an aim assist that lets the hacker hit players behind walls as long as their tank is partially visible. This makes some shots significantly easier. but that's just my game theory

Well, this wasn't meant to be a topic to discuss only this one case, it was an attempt to make people know that there are a lot of players who have been using scripts in recent times. XP/BP is literally infested, in many Discord servers people even post screenshots of themselves wallhacking (=seeing people through walls), lol. It's not really enjoyable at the moment and I can't even dare to imagine how many are scripting in matchmaking.

I understand that developing an efficient anti-cheat is quite challenging, but something needs to be done regardless. It's far too easy to use scripts at the moment. XP/BP is literally starting to feel like Counter Strike 2 matches, if you're familiar with that game - or rather, with its problem regarding cheaters.

Stop playing pro battles

Something should be done about this problem, I have witnessed hackers throughout the year as well, like even today I faced an opponent who was using no recoil hack, like come on tanki, I hit him on the edges of his tank but his tank didnt moved a muscle and kept killing like there's no tomorrow.

Zerei_0_Game_YT  just watch his battles and you will see a light hull flying in a micro second to the flag, and fly away in another micro second. So fast that you hardly see it. Best hacking I have ever seen. Of course I called the Battle Mod for 10 minutes and of course none showed up.

If you think I am going to download a software to make a video, to find out how to upload to whatever RU forum... Game reliability is on you guys. We give you easy ways to find the cheaters and you refuse to pursue before, during and after.

PS.: just saw a very similar hack in YT called "Tanki Online simple hack".

Curious. If someone made a 10 or so minute long video titled "I'm a hacker", but the video shows no evidence of them actually hacking or using any cheats. What would the battle mods do in that situation?

[Jeers4U 666]

I just played in a game where an enemy wasp detonated his overdrive bomb 5-6 times in one second.

Multiple bomb explosions within one minute.

Haven't seen that one before.

Well, developing an anti-cheat is unfortunately a never ending battle. Even big publishers, such as Riot Games, struggle immensly against cheaters.

Seemed like most of Tanki's playerbase wasn't aware of how big the cheating business (yes, business, cheats are paid) actually is, that's why I made this topic. There's actually even more shady stuff going on in the background, that people use to make money with Tanki. Anyway, now at least some more forum users are aware of the cheating/scripting problem

[Rogue 1]

New to the discussion but I am convinced that the ones who keep telling it's either lag or miscalculation have not played XP/BP nowadays. They are clearly cheating. Yes most of them are not as obvious as in the videos above but I see some ridiculous shots in multiple maps from very random players. I don't say those railgun shots are practically impossible but everyone knows the players that are able to do those and even they cannot perform in such way all through the battle. Again, when they come from random players that you encounter almost every battle, it leaves no room for defending those spoiled cheaters. Such cheaters and mobile aim-assisters must be marked to be wary of or avoided.

Well, those are miscalculations in the end, but what people sadly don't want to accept is that those are mainly caused by aimbotting. Be it with scripts or whatever.

That you get shot through map objects is not the problem, that's what many also don't really think about. The problem is that players who run aimbots have to put in barely any effort to hit their shots, and that that is already enough to hit stuff normal players wouldn't even deem possible. Aimbots surpass human abilities in any way, this is the actual problem.

I love how a battle mod sighting is more rare than the loch ness monster sighting...

But I guess the last time battle the mods list was updated was almost 10 years ago, maybe there's no one left doing the job...?

At least the fake 'analysis complete' message wasn't posted. Small w.

Actually had a battle mod sighting today.

Guess that's my loch ness monster sighting for 2025...
