CATCHING CHEATERS in World of Tanks! 

Quickybaby: *tries to hide names* Quickybaby: *opens the leaderboard and every single name shows*

Exposing cheating on a large YT channel like this one is about the only way to get WG's attention.

"the most harsh punishment wg can ever give out" WG:SENDS TOMAHAWK MISSILE

If you, arguably the greatest promotor of WOT and a liaison between the community and WOT, cannot get the cheaters perma-banned then the rest of us do not have a prayer.

EU servers..."I can't believe players cheat like this". RU servers..."I can't believe they got caught".

Your dedication to this game is great to see. Just played WoT again after a leave for more than a year. Mainly to play my few favorite tanks.

QB, great work! Appreciate your observations and iron will against fraud.

I know many players call other players / teammates "bots" but this is something I seriously didn't expect nor have ever seen in WoT in 3 years of play

Despicable is all I can say of what they did. Admirable of you to take of your time and exposed them and raise awareness!

Excellent work, QB. Much appreciated!

Thank you QB for opening our eyes ! I will be checking all my games from now on !

A week? One week? The effect of their cheating on Marks alone lasts longer than the punishment. Unreal. Good catch Quicky, and this (or variations of this) is probably more widespread than any of us can imagine. The anemic punishment only encourages this behavior, frankly.

Quickybaby, I fully understand on how you feel about cheating that occurs. Quite frankly, I think that the punishment should be more severe and that ALL Accounts that were involved in this should be PERMANENTLY BANNED from "World of Tanks." Being "banned for a week" is more of an inconvenience rather than teaching them a lesson.

Have seen leos and stbs shooting over and over without any tanks spotted in their firing direction and end up with tons of damage. I always wondered how they were doing it. Thanks QB for showing us

Sehr gut gemacht QuickyBaby 👍🏼 Prima, dass du diese Art von Cheating aufgedeckt hast, auf diesen Trick muss man erst mal kommen.

Thanks QB for being our voice, well done lad, well done.

What can I say, I'm part of this clan but I am extremely disappointed. I discovered that the players in the video were doing this yesterday and I didn't really know what to say. But I'm kinda glad Karma struck. Thanks for speaking up for the community QB! Also, if anybody is curious as to why this happened: Somebody paid our clan leader for a boost through the campaign missions. Regardless of why it happened, it's unacceptable and nobody should do it. At least I got a good reason to leave the clan, lol

I am so glad you did this. I often get spotted in my scout that has great spot range while in heavy cover as you taught us. and, get killed with no one on my scope

Well done in catching them out, I thought it was me just having a bad few sessions

This has been happening for years. Many years ago when I played regularly I submitted many replays with this exact behaviour.

Just watched one of Klaus's video's where he shows something possibly ever worse, everyone is right, it would not be hard to detect such tactics being used and at at a guess, I would suggest it's "companies" offering to get you a 279e or similar in 30 days that control so many accounts, that if they play at relatively quiet server times, the chances of the player they are "boosting" ending up against one of their platoons, is quite high.

Great analyze, QB! Thanks for it !

hustý podvod, to už fakt je za hranicí, takhle kazit hru všem v týmu! Lovu zdar

Wow, I had that exact same heavy tank platoon in my team yesterday in one of my battles. In Paris map they drove against building walls in the spawn area and stood there until destroyed and we lost the match. I can't remember any clearly suspicious actions from the enemies.

“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." ~ Obi Wan Kenobi,

Though I have a couple WoT accounts, I've been playing Blitz the past few months. Occasionally, on either team, there will be a player who has never left their spawning point or has moved about half way between spawning point and the actual battle site. Without moving or firing a shot, they are able to get points for spotting, blocking and ram damage if someone on the opposite team rammed and took damage. The inactive tank will get enough points to place third from the bottom. After watching this video, I'm going to keep track of these inactive players to see if there are any repeats and which clan they belong to. Great video. Thank you for publishing it.

I am not a good player, but I did get a big progress after watching Quicky baby’ videos! Thank you !

I once reported something like that to WG, 3 players doing no damage at all and being AFK the whole game. Wg told me it was maybe because of a connection bug or something... They didn't get banned.

Thank you Quickybaby for your service to the game!

This happens so frequently, I have learned to i.d the dummy tanks on my team almost immediately.

Great video uncle scrubby baby, quality content as usual

Good job QB, appreciate your time and efforts.

I really used to love this game I started playing about a year after it was released. Over the years I belonged to several clans. This practice was pretty common and I left a couple different clans because of it. I seldom play anymore and I’m not surprised this is still going on. A weeks punishment is a joke. Their accounts should be wiped and make them go through the appeal process to get them back. Good catch QB.

Should ban those cheaters permanantly good job QB!

Outstanding work!

Could you do a community post if WG actually confirms if they will deal with these players

Was watching QB live when this happened. So stoked that QB took this in depth reporting approach, to concisely present the presence of organized cheating for Marks in our game.

Boosting happens in probably every multiplayer game out there, though, I've really only noticed it in CoD. Guy with Tactical Insertion or similar skill sits in corner while another player on the opposite team sits with them, killing them after they respawn. Helps them get nukes or boosts their stats for gun camos.

Thank you for making this!

Respect to you QB , I really like how you investigate the things. Keep up with this :)

Quickie - Check Claus's comments on your video. He went even deeper into this incident. That clan (all four are from the same clan) counted in 30 times in a single session and it appears that 30 times the platoon ended up on one team and the Leo landed on the other team. And in all 30 games the platoon did exactly the same thing. Never fired a shot, had a WIN 8 of exactly zero and lost 95% of their games while the Leo did the opposite. The bigger question is how did they manipulate the game so that they never landed on the same team and always landed in the same game? I've counted in many times on the NA server with its much smaller player base and it came out to one in five-ish times some, but not all, of my clan mates would land in the same game as me and about 50-50 on the same team. I've never seen counting in this accurate or anything close to it. WOT needs to take a very close look at this far beyond a simple one game counting in cheat by a clan. How often does this clan do this and how many battles have they screwed up? I tried to look at the clan on WOT Labs but the WOT API is still not working so the stats aren't there. THe clan is there but the API shows no stats and no players other than the clan commander's name.

What an eye opener this was. As a "vanilla" player I have always accepted that some cheating occurs and noted school holidays tends to see a marked increase; but this is something else. I have played other FPS games that ban cheats (via IP & MAC addresses) immediately NO warning given, instant ban, and "In game moderators" can "kick" players mid-battle if dodgy play is noted, and they then get banned. As Claus Kellerman says in his video on this subject; "Wargaming can stop this if they really set their mind to it". This will be something I will watch for. Thanks for the clear "heads up".

5 or 6 years ago everyone did this. When missions for special vehicles appeared, t-28 or t-55a, can't really remember. Several missions were really hard and they used to que together and hope to get into opposing teams. I participated in several of these " shame battles". 2 of us were in platoon and other friend, who needed his mission done was alone. I remember that there was a mission to destroy 2 SPGs with a single shell while you fight in your SPG. My friend and I stood together in a bush and knocked fence around until our friend "saw" us and fired. in 2 battles, one of spgs survived and mission failed. In third battle, he managed to destroy us, but lost and mission failed... Victory was one of the conditions.

Quickbaby, thank you for making this video. I have seen bizarre situations like this myself and always suspected something was amiss. Thank you also for investigating it so precisely and for taking it up with Wargaming. I am sure you'll get the standard response that we all do and so things will continue. It's a shame as their systems should be able to detect these anomalies for further investigation but I guess it's just not worth their while.

You gotta name and shame these cheaters. For anyone that wants to know, Claus Kellerman names them all in a video he did today.

Love this video thank you kwacky baby bringing about some justice ⚖️

Great video. I will look out for it now. Many lopsided battles lately.

Cheers for this QB, the game is frustrating enough already without these cheating scumbags. Lets hope they got their accounts permanently banned.

Great presentation QB. Its good for all gamers that play WOT that you are on the case. War gaming needs to protect their game and take firm action on this. Thumbs Up!

People might be getting their missions passed this way as well. Good thing to keep an eye on, to see if your teammates, especially in a platoon, are getting "owned".

keep being awesome QuickyBaby!!!

you can see all the names at 4:27 XD

4:27 the names of all tanks are unblurred!

When the guy sit down at the bar and tell the girl: " I have 3 marks of excelence on my Leo!". She wont give him even slap. 😆

He tried so hard and got so far... 4:30 xD

I'm on the US server, and I wish this video had come out a couple of weeks ago. I was in a number of battles shortly after the Italian TDs came out where apparently-good players, with win rates over 50% and tens of thousands of games, somehow did zero damage and basically accomplished nothing, and our side ended up losing badly. Had I seen this video at the time, I would have at least pulled out my replay file and checked to see what happened, rather than simply assuming just a bad bout of RNG.

Great Job dude, thank you.

I was watching this live, I LoLed when he flipped out :D

Yaay doing his part

07:13 - This bit is really well said... So often we try to focus on our own gameplay rather than worry about what everyone else is doing. It goes to show that some catastrophuck results deserve more interrogation than a cursing of the matchmaker.

how easy you do dmg when the 3 players don't shoot and only cash in, this is the new quickybaby hahahah

This cheat has been around since the beginning, but running 4 accounts to get a mastery badge is a sign they need to get out more and have a life. Whenever you see a tank idle on the spawn, you have to ask who is running it. Sometimes the cheater ends up with all their tanks on the same team.

Thanks QB. This is my 11th year and im a poor enough player, but I really try hard to support my team. This has blown my mind. Now I am eyes wide open. Thanks to you mate! Well done!

This is very common in clans, especially clans trying to get their friends a tank like the 279e, very frustrating seeing them get away with it because of how much goes on in a battle, hard to keep track of four people cheating out of a 30 person game

You are right about the mark of excellence thing however I do believe it’s either on a weekly or monthly basis I’m not sure entirely I just started playing the pc version of tanks and continue to enjoy the learning curve hope to see you in battle sometime quickybaby

I applaud these ingenious individuals that there is teamwork, now imagine if they were all in a clan?!

Been playing longer than most and have never encountered such blatant cheating, so that’s good news about the game in general. But my experience of reporting players for unsportsmanlike conduct is the worst. WoT spends more time questioning the reporting party than banning the offenders. After several tries I gave up entirely.

While I have stopped really watching QB, when he does things like this I commend him for it. Using his influence in this way is absolutely necessary and great work by him.

Very interesting that the players in the feeder platoon are still playing (albeit still bad), the players in the farming platoon (with the Leopard1) don`t exist anymore or have changed their nickname. Although ppl tend to change to something similar and I couldn`t find anything in their respective clans. So maybe this video and others from Kellerman helped. Hope so!

This is a great video this also is common in World Of Warships

I would almost guarantee that this (the Leopard 1) is someone who paid one of those annoying services to get the Obj 279(e) for them. That service probably purchased all 3 of those accounts to farm dmg/requirements for some of the campaign missions.

At first I was rather skeptical and was thinking "ah comon, let those friends do their mission stuff, it's already hard enough in recent meta"... but doing this consistantly over 30 battle is clearly not for missions anymore, so 100% rightful to call them cheaters or rather destroying the game experience.

I only wish this was the most troublesome thing I had to worry about in my life.

you can load multi games at once from one pc, and start all of them at same time and get lucky in Q to get into same battle, and rig all by yourself very simple to do, just have to have the luck of getting in same battle and on different sides

Been waiting for this video .. Thanks QuickyBaby for Exposing these cheaters . This is why matchmaker is so horrible. These teams that are out there boosting players for record fixing . Rigging matches for failure for someone else's expense and what Wargaming has done ? Absolutely nothing. This is a big business running these scams on innocent players that does want to play fairly and its a damn shame that players has to stoop to this level for Stat padding. Wargaming needs a defunding if nothing is done about it.. I'm so glad I caught Qb's livesteeam on twitch for exposing these losers. Thx man💯👍

After watching this on Twitch live yesterday, I was stunned. QB puts as much time and effort into this game as anyone, and to see his effort wasted because of cheating got me upset. A week ban is not nearly enough. These players should straight up lose their accounts.

This reminds me of the many reasons that made me stop playing. Even WoWs I played more and more while quitting WoT, but eventually me liking tanks and warships didn't compensate for the lack of quality from WG to maintain the gameplay and player pool in a healthy competitive situation.

I was wondering the other day how red players were getting 6 to 9k damage. Was wondering why there was suddenly players doing silly amounts of damage while 14 other players couldn't get anywhere near that damage amount. In the back of my mind I thought something was fishy but never thought this was going on. Sickening. One week ban, that makes one very disappointed with WG.

I can say from own experience, contacting WG Support for cases of unfair conduct is pointless, well maybe not if you are a well known streamer, but in my cases it resulted in a automated standard response thats all.

Hopefully you being a contributer will make them listen! Well done Quickybaby!

Nicely done

amazing to see how different the map look than on the Xbox..

Sometimes it does feel like Wargaming is turning RNG on and off but, then I noticed that in a lot of games I would get rained on by arty before I moved 100 feet. Thanks for highlighting these cheaters.

Came over from Claus Kellerman's channel. Good work qb 👏

I appreciate this. Tyvm

I had this once. Saw a guy firing at a random spot. I was in my jg pz e100 and my curiousity got the better of me. I shot in the same spot and killed an is-7. I reported 6 people in that platoon who were all around that position. They deserve a 1 month ban. Or permanent ban, you dont want this in your game.

Thanks to Claus finding another uploaded game by this group showing off their high dmg in another tanks, what QB didn't point out is that all 4 accounts are in the same clan. Different people behind each account or the same? Claus also used a stat site to find the highest dmg games uploaded in each tank on each server and review the details of each game to see that either there was often a disconnection immobilizing nearly all of the opposing players leaving an entire game full of tanks to crush by those lucky tanks not to suffer a disconnection on their other side. After you get past those disconnection games you can see low scoring platoons are present in many of the high dmg examples and see they never took shots or moved, etc as evidence of this kind of cheating that QB discovered. The biggest question then becomes the sheer consistency of being able to join the same game with the your rigged platoon on the other side in a single day. This is the biggest concern expressed by Claus K on NA. Is there special software modifications required to time the precision to allow for so many games to have the rigged platoon on the opposite side (not your own side) to explain this clan being able to do this over the course of a single day. Also why not punish the clan as a whole? Often times this level of cheating is organized and sanctioned by the clan. There is a lot of pressure to make your clan look the best they can to attract better players etc. Seems like when you see all 4 players are part of the same clan then it seems more reasonable to suggest that its not just a cheater player issue, its a cheating clan issue and punish the group as well as the players. This might incent clan organizers to warn their players never to cheat or risk the entire clan's progress be suspended/banned.

This happened a lot on the NA server about a year or so ago. People would do this to get 3 marks in their chieftain and then sell the account.

When I saw the blind fires I had a chill thinking there's a hack that can see unspotted tanks.....after the video, oh well, just a bunch of cheaters lol

Hello QB, I've seen cheating far worse than this on the console version of the game. Where both teams farmed each other and cornered me and a few other players against houses to farm us. I sent it to wargaming support and they handled it very fast and were super nice.

Dear QB; Thank you for making a video. I would like to see an interview between you and a spokesperson from WG. Because a week ban for something like this is unacceptable. I would also like to point out that you being able to spot this, based on data that is readily available for everyone, should also make WG able to write a program to investigate these instances pro-actively. Because apparently they do not this and thus cannot claim that they do everything within their power to stop cheating. Just my thoughts :)

"I havent named any of the players" said Quicky.. "Hold my beer" sais the replay at 4:27 lol

This is what klaus has been showing for years. Welcome to the club

WG doesn't seem to care about cheaters. When one of WG's top CC's catches four cheaters, makes a video of them on RU-vid, personally reports them to war gaming, and wargaming bans the cheaters for a week. BS!!! So you know when the average Joe reports cheaters nothing gets done. But thank you QB and rock on man.

Ir would be great to know how these players managed to be matched in the same battle. Iknow it’s easier at really late night but not so easy when QB was playing.

Mailand actualy had a similar experience. Though it was someone going for both teams and using one side to blind fire the entire match with an arty.... 😂

Problem is WG won't do anything about it even if you report it. They litterally reward cheating and this type of behavior.

I support u on exposing cheaters in wot and im surprised why wargaming doesnt take actions about this!

I found this happening a long time ago in Blitz during a live stream of mine. I had two games with the cheaters. WG never banned the cheaters.
