Yupp. It’s for real. That is how WG checks if you are cheating or not. They drop checkers in your game and record what your gun does. Based on that you get banned.
I have told you often enough to leave the tin hats to me.
Almost every game at around tier 3-6 I get this happening to me. No Ban! I only use what is in this forum if that helps.
Occasionally I get pissed off and just shoot the fucker once to see what happens. Usually it team kills me hahahaha for taking a single shot at it but it’s well worth the effort
The “forum” is full of misconception, check it out.

That should read the main World of Tanks forum so as not to be mistaken for BW Forum
So many posts and comments over there and still nothing is happening to me using the same Mods so there is either gross over imagination with a case of Chinese Whispers ie he told me and who told them? Oh so and so told them then told me etc etc etc…….
or
There are genuinely players out there getting banned right left and centre.
I believe its the former.
when this first started we said that wargaming will not bite the hand that feeds them , after what is it six months these ban waves will die down to nothing , money is everything and oddly enough if a player is willing to pay for cheat mods , he will have no problem spending money in game , they will adopt the rough with the smooth , cheats = game stays afloat , ban cheats = game dies
I refuse to post on the WG forums because of the stupid people that post there. I like it here though because people are more open-minded and not posting to get brownie-points with WG.
Sooooooooo. Let’s write the facts down for them so they can see it once and for all.
Banwave 1 and 2…..
A large amount of players that were banned had inactive accounts, i.e. they had not played for a long time. I stopped verifying after an hour or so.
No active “elite” players were banned. In the case of the first ban it was because of the low-point in elite clan activity and the up-coming ESL, (Or was it WGL?). Active “top players” were EXCLUDED from the list BEFORE the ban.
(Contest that all you want, that is a fact).
The facts about the exclusions was in fact presented to WG in an argument about the bans. They did not reply to, (or even deny) anything publicly. It was however confirmed later that some players were excluded and some had the bans, or strikes removed, because of “other” reasons.
Banwave 3……
WG removed the possibility to see who was banned in the API, the forums and the clan members page to make statistics gathering impossible.
WG has more-or-less made comments to the effect that the “investigations” are triggered by over-performance. If you don’t regularly seal-club to farm XP you are golden and will avoid the stupid checker-bots.
The trick with them seems to be this……..
Do not accept friend requests from unknown players. (Accepting the requests will allow the checker-bot to see when you are online and in battle. It will get dropped into battle with you when you next enter). Most of the people I have talked to, that were banned, remembered the checker-bot. A lot, (not all), remembered accepting friend requests from random players.
If you see a checker-bot do not fire. Just watch it. They are cute and will follow you anywhere. I still haven’t made my mind up 100% if there is a human driving it or not. The checking does look automated though. (It starts when you fire).
What about the tankrewards.com site? Is that safe or another honeypot?
when on the NA server i used it a lot and it was ok but i got banned lol
