EDIT 1: This account had all ban history removed in Spring 2017 and was effectively whitelisted; the direct result of an hour-long Skype conversation with a DICE producer. I have not played this game since August as my friends and I have moved on altogether.

Here is another outrageous bomber game with myself and the squad. Once again, credit to xTDGxMuffin for the amazing flying. This game footage was taken on 2/17 and the ban/suspension screen was captured on 2/20 right at the start of the night. No rounds had been played on the 18th and 19th. This was my last recorded bomber gunner game. As a result, I will not be playing in the bomber anymore. I still have a lot of bomber games that can be uploaded; just know that this is the most recent (and final) one.
I have mixed feelings on the situation in general. Games like this are so commonplace when you have a coordinated pilot that flies in specific patterns. And that is the thing- people assume all the time that I am hacking or cheating, whether it be in game or in the comment section below. Fact of the matter is that I am a legitimate player and I have never cheated in an online multiplayer game; Battlefield 1 is no exception. Just because my aim is twitchy that automatically makes me a hacker? Clearly, those that constantly complain and call me a hacker have never watched any ESports or any competitive FPS tournaments before.
What really bothers me is the state of FairFight in Battlefield 1. We have all seen “real” hackers in game-players that are getting instant headshot kills with the MG15 from across the map, invisible players, players making their kills in the killfeed appear as a vehicle when they are not, players having “soft” damage buffs, etc. How does FairFight not catch any of this? Rather, how am I being banned for using something that is IN THE GAME? Literally anyone can do what I do. It is an in-game feature. It’s a vehicle that has a high explosive cannon that is being fired down on infantry that cannot be easily nor readily countered save for other planes and AA guns. How are people so naïve?
I could go on and on. Honestly, I am just beating a dead horse at this point. Since my suspension, I have played many games as an infantry player. Contrary to popular belief, I am actually more than decent on the ground (which is further magnified through squad play). I have not received any other in-game suspensions or bans, even though my accuracy and target acquisition is just as good on the ground. So, I won’t be playing in the bomber anymore. FairFight is not designed to track actual cheating in game. Rather, it looks at someone like me, who achieves hundreds of kills through teamwork, and it says “that isn’t possible.”
Funny, because it actually is.

EDIT 2: So DICE finally announced and admitted players were being wrongfully reported.
