You did not get banned because you use BW Auto Aim, you got banned because you are using Aslain modpack, BW is undetectable…GL HF

That was a short answer from Mauzer. Here is the long one…….

(This is NOT pointed at TASOS……… it is just an explaination of how the banwaves work and I used the comment as an example).

Saying I used BWAA and got banned for 7 days means nothing. I will get back to Aslains further down.

Ask yourself…. What did you use BEFORE BWAA? I can guarantee that BWAA was NOT detected. What CAN be detected is your BEHAVIOR WHILE YOU ARE USING IT.

That being said….. the time-frame that players are reported or flagged by the system is SOMETIME since the last ban-wave. A players behavior is validated sometime up to a few weeks before the ban-wave, mostly using stats and reports. In some cases replays can be looked at.

WG usually thinks like this….. If your stats do a sudden jump then…..

1. You are using illegal mods to do that. (Only download from WG official site bla bla bla LMAO).

or

2. You have paid or asked someone to pad your stats. (It happens)

or

3. You are not the original owner of the account. (Yaaaaaay EBay).

or

4. You “Git gud” and start suddenly to play like a god for no reason. (They never even suspect this one).

Sigh.

If your stats jumped during that ANYTIME since the last ban-wave, that is probably why you got banned. Why they even looked at you was probably because of someone sitting in your tank and watching you cheating.

Look…. I can sit in anyone’s tank and see if they are using illegal mods. I can even see it in replays. Trust me when I say that I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO THAT. If, for example, you have a WG fanboy in your tank and he sees you are cheating he will probably send a report to WG then play with his penis for the next 45 minutes.

Enough reports = Investigation.

Aslains

There has been lots of talk about Aslains and other mod-packs containing “sniffers” to show what mods you are using. The “tin-hat brigade” claim that information is sent to an external server and then to WG. This is probably not true. No-one has managed to send me evidence of this ever happening.

Think about this…… Say they get information about 20K accounts in EU that were flagged from an external site. Who is going to look at that data? The EU office only has one idiot working there. He makes (bad) streaming videos and is too busy with his superstar status to care about what they real players are doing. Nope…. not him.

(Waves @ “Creepy Eeeeeky the janitor”).

The bans are all regions so…… sending data files from the RU/EU/NA/SA/Asia servers to Minsk for review on who uses what? Naaaaaah….. I don’t think so.

So. I don’t think Aslains or sniffers are to blame…. but…… Aslains does suck. Use Hawgs instead.

Other mods

The people who work here can guarantee that the BWM and BWAA are not detectable. Saying “I only used BWAA and got banned for that” is silly. It is interesting information but the mods did NOT get you flagged.

Other mods are detectable. I will not name names…. but I know that some aimbots can be seen/heard when they “lock”,  by someone riding in your tank.

Tundra users are easy to see because some tundra mods work in a stupid way. If you know what to look for you can easily see who is using tundra. I am not going to say how it is possible here because “others” read this forum too. (NOTE…… I’m NOT talking about the tundra in BWM which is undetectable).

If you used ANY mods other than BW, got reported a lot, or got “really good” since the last banwave you probably got flagged for that.
