Caught CHEATING 1,000 Games in A Row! 

KlaUS -- Don't spend any more energy justifying yourself to morons -- 91K followers aren't wrong!! You're unique and that's what we love about you. No one provides the content in the manner you do -- BECAUSE YOU ARE KLAUS!!! You made the best WOT video in the history of the game -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TGw4JxTXyyU.html and you continue to entertain, teach and delight us! Thanks for all you do!!

At this point, any who denies that game rigging exists are game rigging cheaters themselves.

Keep up the good work Claus. I've said it before on your videos that many of us are grateful for what you've exposed and the way you keep at it. A number of members of our clan and others from clans we have close associations with are refusing to spend more money on the game until WG do something about it. We've also flooded support with tickets telling them what we're doing. It's a small step but all I can do is encourage any player who is sick of being CHEATED to join us and keep their money in their pocket until something changes. These guys are cheating all of us and it's hard to work out why so many people are still willing to pay for the privilege of being cheated when WG seem to be in it up to their necks.

Wouldnt surprise me if WG were in cahoots with these companies

Great work Claus, I'm still convinced WG or some employees are working with these cheaters.

This is just one of many reasons why I rarely play this game anymore. But I do enjoy most of your videos. I imagine you could make much more money and maybe have more followers if you didn't mention anything wrong with the game... but you're an honest guy who dislikes cheaters. Well said and I respect you for this. While it may be untrue, I would not be surprised if Wargaming is behind the cheating as they're not exactly fighting back against it.

My Account isnt a reroll. Its my main from beginning. You can see my old stats on the Stug III G. when i was a noob, i played it a lot. I tryed early to get good in the game, this is maybe why i have overall so good stats. But thank you for the video Klaus. Also the 279 (e) Grind was so much pain. Especially the missison with 25 critical hits in 10 Battels. And yes, only the crew, ammunition or fuel tank. So inner Modules. This was so horrible to do...

100% going on. Those claiming it’s not happening are most likely a boosting company themselves or using a boosting company. Keep exposing Clause, your the only one with a pair that continues to expose this.

To answer your question: Can WG set up a "something" to catch these cheaters? According to my son (software eng./product mgr.) , YES they can. Then he went on trying to explain to me what he would create and launch this program. How effective it could be and "blah blah gibber goober ack" This is what I am hearing when he is explaining this to me 🤣. As always Kellerman, we appreciate all your efforts. Please DO NOT give up this battle to stop these cheaters, on our behalf. Thank you and Rock on Sir 🤘😎

I can confirm that alone this year I was messaged ingame 3times by boosting companies.

Thanks Klaus for your hard work showing this shit and letting us know about the problem

WG or some of their employers at least, are complicit in this. How else would the game riggers know which accounts were dormant and could be taken over for rigging purposes.

Hey Claus - I usually get to your videos late in my day (east coast USA) so it's difficult to add anything new to the conversation, especially in light of commentators such as Matt and A Jo saying all the right things, but I certainly want to add my huge vote of confidence to your efforts, both in general and specifically for these anti-cheater investigations.

It’s crazy. Claus was describing the cheater blind shooting and a Team Raptor ad (Pixar quality?) popped up.

I received the same message from a different account 1 or 2 months ago. I would call this message a real evidence that this game suffers from cheating. I really appreciate your hard work about all the cheating, but unfortunately I don't thing there will be any response from WG about all this since they are deffinitely part of it. Thank you for your honest No BS content. I hope one day your hard work gets the attention it really deserves. Have a wonderful day Commander Claus.

Problem is made worse by some content creators who categorically deny it takes place or who just say they don't care, keep up the good work Klaus WG need to do something to prove they care about their player base

My personal belief is that WG made the campaign tier 10 reward tanks missions so hard that only the best players would get the some of the best tanks so to increase the difference in the divide. Many of these boosting companies I suspect have close links with WG as a way of receiving extra revenue under the counter. So no corrective action taken.

I can remember when the big clans were claiming they weren't rigging games so their members could get the T-22's.

I appreciate what you are doing, you are the only one who mentions the rigged games, the fake accounts that participate in rigged fights, the others are only concerned with sharing good fights with fabulous scores!!! keep doing this, maybe one day someone will notice and change something !!! I was desapointed by Skill4ltu cuz he didn’t involved in this war …. But will always be a question, a suspicion, but if he is also involved???? Never know , in Romania we have a word “ moneys are the eyes of devil”

It's great you are keeping this topic alive Claus. What I noticed is there's a 279e or chieftain in 4 battles out of 5 on average (although I'm not sure if the latter can be obtained via booster companies) Quite often you can see the player is clueless, with a WR well below 50%.

Earlier in the week I was watching another well known and connected CC on Twitch. Someone asked him about Game Rigging. He said that he had actually spoken to War Gaming about it and that they are now taking it seriously. He said that bans are coming and specifically mentioned that the players that "Claus has shown on RU-vid" are in the process of getting banned. Take it with a grain of salt, but this CC is pretty reliable in my opinion.

'But I've never noticed any rigging or cheating ..." Given the lack of map awareness by a large % of the player base, I can absolutely assure you most are not seeing cheating even when it is obviously occurring. I absolutely appreciate your dedication to the various topics which have highlighted and raised awareness about player quality of life issues, including game rigging & cheating. Keep it up Claus, pay no attention to the fan boys and pleaser accounts -- denial and counter-accusations are always early strategies of the guilty.

morning klaus thanks for calling these cheaters out

I too have had in-game messages form boosting companies. I also saw a sponsored ad on RU-vid from a boosting company before watching one of your cheater videos... which I thought was ironically hilarious. That said, your videos/channel is great, will keep supporting and watching.

Claus, great video, and great response to the "cheating doesn't matter, it's only a few games, etc." crowd.Even a beginning programmer could write a T-SQL statement in a few minutes that would return every player with these types of battle count/wn8 stats. Keep this going. You are living rent free in the heads of a bunch of forum dwellers who suffer from CDS (Claus Derangement Syndrome)!

Some easy measures come to mind: 1) Restrict the Campaign mission grinds to single players only (so platoon battle results don't count). Rigging games outside a platoon is much more tricky to arrange. 2) Transfer all game rigging and cheating accounts (including aimbot users and such) to a separate server instead of deleting or suspending them. If cheaters still want to play WoT, they can, but only vs other cheaters.

Fanbois be like "How dare Claus do his job and expect to get paid".

We used to call these failtoons, not realizing it was game rigging. It has been going on for years. And with so many accounts dating back to 2012, etc, either someone at WG is involved or there is some way to search for abandoned accounts, and part of the business model is buying old accounts.

Still cheated less than my ex

I'm a console player, and you're my favorite WoT youtuber to watch! You're a man of the people.

Not gonna lie, there are a lot of days where I miss team damage. Some players just deserve it

Thank you for your work on this very important issue, Claus!

Good work, Claus! I've seen that high quality animated ad prior to a video beginning. And, since I am one of the not so great players that are the backbone of the game, I get in game messages from boosting companies several times a month, sometimes a few a week. So even though I may not have NOTICED cheating in the game while trying to play my own game, the fact that I get an in game message tells me that the cheating companies WERE IN THAT GAME I was trying to play whether I noticed it or not. They had to be there on the playing field and saw what a putz I was. Then they decided I might want to boost my game enough to pay them money. So - keep the pressure on!

the best wot streaming channel on the net. bar none. keep beatin that drum Klaus we know it gets old, on us too. keep it up you certainly have an impact on wg.

Claus, do you ever wonder if some of the "fan boys" are actually some of the game riggers?

Thx Klaus for your commitment! In Europe Wargaming just suspended/banned 10k+ Accounts. Keep up the good work!

Keep it up Claus! I've seen that message about boosting companies at least a dozen times in the last month. It's happening and I believe that WG is involved and they are making big money on it. I don't play that much but there's been several games that I've had teams that had platoons that did just like these you are showing - they did nothing at all.

Coincidence that I had that Pixar add during this video, Team Raptor, what a joke of a game to allow this to go on.

Considering how difficult it is to have a good awareness of all the stuff going on the battlefield, I‘m pretty sure, that this is a bigger problem than most of us think.

My favourite argument is "it doesn't affect the game" No because you don't even notice it happening; just go to the garage and start the next battle after another 4 minute defeat

Raptor ads have been on RU-vid for about a year or so I guess. They disappeared for a bit kind of around time when you started highlighting the game rigging. But they have resurfaced over last few weeks. Been playing wot since 2017 and following you skill and a few others. The Raptor ads have not been pushed to my account until 2021 or 2022, I forget.

Great job noticing "Thinking", I didn't, keep it up Claus!

more proof that WG is in on it.

Claus, don’t listen to trolls who are jealous of you because they are lazy muppets to make their own content. Keep making these videos. You are doing an excellent job.

lol, the best part is, as you said Claus, I started regularly seeing a booster company`s ad before WoT videos :D well done RU-vid (and of course well done WG) :D

And of course I get the ad for that company not once at the beginning of the video, but twice during your video! 😂

I watch you and skill nearly everyday. Yesterday team raptor's video came up between your two videos and I was thinking the same thing. That ad is a very high quality product business must be booming over there!

The hilarious thing is, the mid roll ad in this video was team raptor 😂 I have never noticed cheating in a game I was in, but I am pretty sure it has, and I was just too busy or stupid to notice

Good work there Claus !! Been a long time viewer I really hope you succeed in making a difference ! Like you said the money is key. I really don't know why WarGaming didn't just give the players the alternative of paying a huge sum to just buy the reward tanks or playing the hard missions to get it for "free" . There must be a money spinner in it there for someone to turn a blind eye to this stuff. Now I haven't played WoT for maybe 2 years now and I stopped because the changes they made to the game seemed to take all the fun out of it for me. So what I think all this points to is that revenue has dropped to a point where WG has just decided if this makes them money , well to hell with the players we want the $$$$$ .

As always Claus, another excellent video. There is no way I am spending any more money on the game. It's bad enough that WG wants to change our crew training when it was not something the player base was requesting, but to ignore the game rigging cheaters just illustrates it's focus is on the dollar. PS: Wake up fan boys- WG is peeing on your head and telling you that's it raining. Keep up the good work Claus.

Haven't touched WoT in more than four maybe five years. However, the first video I watch when I open youtube is your new video. I hope that tells you something about how much I appreciate your work. Thank you.

4:09 funny story, while you were saying that, you got cut off by the team raptor boosting ad LOL

I love these videos Claus and hope you make as much money as you possibly can from them and ill always watch them to help you out

We had 2 players account banned because we noticed game rigging and sent in the battles to WG , one of the mods was playing in one of the games and noticed some thing sus in that match . The players were farming of each other , their accounts have no activity since then .This was on the Asia server.

Thank you Claus what you are doing for us that we still care about this game.

Klaus you are the honest hard grinding players voice and champion…keep up the good work.

Nice work Claus ,have experienced cheating myself .

WG didn’t make money from team killing, if anything they lost money by banning players so they had a financial incentive to stop it. The boosting companies spend a lot of gold to rig the games so WG has little incentive to stop it. If you believe the boosting companies get those dormant accounts from an “insider” at WG it is also not a far stretch to believe certain EU content creators are getting favorable match making. Just look how often they get a string of victories where they don’t actually contribute much to the match…

For to say been with you all the way Claus, keep going. As Matt says below we are with you. Let the trolls creep out of their caves now and again, they wont see the truth but will feel happy and then creep back.

Good work Claus! ....too many cheaters unfortunalely.., so bringing awerness to the table is important.....!

keep it up Claus... u're doing grate work for all of us

Hello Claus, Im a player from good old Germany and i really appreciate your work. In Germany no "CC" has the courage to face WG inthe way you do. Like my old friend James said...sad but true. If I hadn't spent so much time and money into the game, I would have deleted it long time ago because there is so much going wrong in this game since the last years. Thanks again for yor work...maybe you can change something someday.

Hi Claus. I have started looking for 0 damage done by tanks ever though 1,2 or 3 shots fired. Last game i played there were 2 players who caused 0 damaged, one had 0 shots fired and the other 3 shots but no damage caused. BUT they were both taken out by the same tank on our team. Cheers

Keep it up calling these cheaters out m8, your doing us little folk justice, love your commentary.

Did you ever think that maybe its wargaming running these boosting companies as a side hustle?

I love how RU-vid puts a advertisement for a boosting company on your video. 😂 😂

Aaaaaaaaand at the 10:07 mark of the video, the raptor ad Claus was tss as liking about interrupts. Lol.

Hard to notice in game. Surely would notice after game, I always look at after battle stats. Just a damn shame about WG not doing anything 😮‍💨

Tell me Klaus, do you really think WG gives a damn about these boosting companies. I mean who stands to benifit from it other than WG itself. I bet you 100% it is WG itself. This game has become so toxic the past 3 years and we can all see it in most of our battles we play. Your content is always apreciated. Thanks dude.

Thanks Claus, keep up the good work!

People dont understand the gravity of the problem, because they prefer to not understand. Sweet little lies are more comfortable than the ugly truth.

I'd like to point out that the names turning blue isn't gone. About 3 weeks ago I tried to help a flipped STRV/UDES back on his tracks but it counted as if I was the one that killed him and my name turned blue. The system as a whole certainly is much less used though and my name wasn't blue anymore in the following battle, it used to last for 3 to 5 battles before, didn't it?

I have 2 days of premium left. I won't return to World of Tanks till I see your videos stating things have changed. Keep up the great work. This was a fun game, now it is pathetic. Most of my friends and clan members have quit already.

I would gladly see you become a millioner if it means you keep doing these videos

I found about 8 players with 2 different names. I didn't think much about it. But know that you pointed out. I called out one player for cheating and he had no answer...he just stop messenging me. So there is alot of game rigging happening right before our very on eye's. Thank's Claus for showing these type of video's maybe WG will do something about it.

Ironically, a team raptor advert in the middle of this vid. 🤬

The single biggest grudge against you from the NA server is that "none" of your vids have come from the NA server, and that you yourself have never caught one case of rigging. They also insist that rigging MOE does not statistically raise the bar for other players trying to MOE via honest play. How do you respond to all that ?

I recognize one name. I met that The Object 140 account "Ignak_is_kozak" some time ago. It was shortly after Claus started posting videos of cheats. I then started paying attention to plattons which do not shoot or move at all. In one of my games all players in a cheating platoon had "_is_Kozak" in their names. I even sent a replay to WG.

I have to admit 1,008 battles with zero damage done is compelling evidence for two things: 1. There is game rigging. 2. WG is (at the very least) complicit by omission in that game rigging.

I was like you, I worked hard to get tier 10's. The hundreds of dollars I spent trying to upgrade my tanks didn't have much affect. Finally I said I am done. Deleted the game only to reinstall the next week, kept playing for a while, only getting more frustrated. Two years ago I finally deleted it. But I kept Claus Kellerman and let him go through the torturous game play for me FOR FREE. love you Claus, thanks.

Thanks Claus! Love your work!

it's obvious that WG can't just sell reward tanks officially in game. so they hire/build riggers to have a "black market" to sell these OP vehicles for hundrets of bugs. it's quite obvious, otherwise they would ban cheaters.

You mention that this has been going on for about a year which coincides with when wargaming pulled out of Russia and licensed use of the game to a 3rd party.

I reported 2 platoons for rigging with a chiefftain to WG . I sent the replay + screenshot and they said that the in-game report System does it job... WG became a shitshow money-draining company.

Ive been playing this game since inception as well. when these missions came out every one of my friends and clan mates where very exited , because now we actually had a chance to get a nice tank by just completing missions . Now we are all just regular shmo's , and to our surprise the missions just got harder and harder to the point that the regular player can not complete them and therefor we found it was impossible to obtain these tanks. now WG has dangled a carrot in front of regular players that is unobtainable for most of them. So the players that are prepared to pay boosting companies to get the tanks for them will pay them. So in reality only the VERY good players will get these overpower tanks and these are players with high win rates , so when me and my mates are in platoon and we see one of these OP tanks on the other team , our expectations of winning that game drop dramatically to the point that we just play so badly , go out and get killed , just so we can move on to another game where we have a realistic chance. yes I know , life is not fair , wot is not fair , but I have to hand it to these boosting companies , they found a niche to make money from a pixel game , just like WG did. so in part I think some of the blame should go to WG for introducing unrealistic expectations from players like the 279E that 95% of players will not be able to obtain.

Thank you Claus! Commented for engagement!

Claus, I could not stop laughing yesterday. I watched your video on another PC (without add blocker). And you will NEVER guess what add popped up during the video,. A WOT boosting company, and will not mention who. Wow, you mentioned it in this video. .

Funniest part about this is I got the Team Raptor boosting ad before it started

Well done Claus , i hope wg stops this madness or they just plane create a new game .

"Pixar quality ad, I could not produce that ad, do you know how much it would cost to produce that ad? ...." Claus then interrupted by RU-vid inserting that very ad into his video. You could not make this shit up if you tried.

I also called out Commander AF on her twitch stream about the cheating and all she did is claim it is limited and they are working on it. I also called out Tragic loss and other wargaming employees who stream and they all acted like they are trying to stop the rigging but never answer my questions on what they are doing and why nothing is ever done when players file a complaint for cheaters and other player misconduct and they ignore me in the chats or their chat admin blocks me. They know it is going on and they don't care.

Yes! I have seen that add by Raptor team! I have even send you a comment on another of your videos about that, some weeks ago! Great video Claus. I hope one day you will do a video about the "strange" thing, why you always have 10 - 15 straight loses, all battles ending something like 0-15, 1-15, max 5-15, and only 2 - 3 times straight wins. Only the other day, I played to test this "phenomenon" almost a 100 battles, of which I won 40 something and lost the rest. But, the pattern explained in the beggining was the same. At one point, 18 straight loses. I had a WR of 51.40% and the "game" decided that I should be at 51.32%. Just like that. Why? why is that? I am not a pro palyer and probably will never be according to these WGs games, but after 30.000 battles, I believe I know what I am doing (most of the times). I know form the start, that the game is going to be lost, when I make a shot with, lets say, JP E 100, gold ammo, 420pen, on the side of a, lets say Char Futur, EBR, Str, etc and it .... bounces!!! Why? Does not the physics of the game APPLY to my shots at that point? Or when our only light in the team, either does not start immediately, or if it start it drives on the wrong spotting place, or BEHIND the whole team!!! WHY??? Another example, when I am using the bush mechanics, i.e., spot, go back 25 meters from the bush, i.e. not to be able to see the background, but only the outline of the tank etc, fire with a tank that has increased camo etc., and .... I get spotted. Why? With no enemy spotting tanks WITHING the appropriate spotting range. Why??? I believe that, all the above is A strategy of the game to play with you on a "psycological" level. Putting you in games with straight loses, they COUNT on you getting mad and in your furstration to go and buy stuff from their market place. Anyway, keep up with the excellent videos Claus. You are the only person that keeps posting the flaws and the "cheats" that happen in this game, and give us an insight of what is really going on. Again, great video!

OMG while watching this a damned TeamRaptor ad played and no shit that is high-quality animation. But what got me more is these guys actually have the gall to SHOW THEIR FACES in the ad, like they are proud of the company they have created!! Normally I would not care but when you have teammates on your team doing NOTHING, it adversely affects the rest of the team. Since they so brazenly advertise, WG is either ignorant or knows and does nothing about it and takes their money and happily looks the other way. Shameful either way. Thank you for calling this out.

Surely in every couple battles I notice tanks that don't move, I write a message "report the bot", and usually I get negative responses like "we'll report you" "you're boring" "it happens regularly" ... Ok.

Please Clause, don't let people know where you live. We want you to stay alive. You are a threat to the game riggers now. It is good that you live where you do.

Klaus, think you have been doing these videos for almost 10 years now. Still bring great content and I still watch, even though I no longer play WoT anymore.

In my clan, we used to synchronize to try to play against each other (that's very difficult to achieve). None of the 2 platoons would let the other slaughter it. The aim was to win and defeat the other platoon ! The few times it worked, it was fun. But I'm ready to sacrifice this, to avoid this scandalous cheating. Keep up the good work Claus. Our game doesn't deserve this shit, it's killing wot.

Claus you have been an ambassador for the general player for so long now, don't listen or waste your energy even mentioning the fan boys, just keep doing what you do your fantastic buddy, stop giving the non believing fan boys your breath to mentioning them, you have a huge fallowing claus and we support you because of what you do!

A Team Raptor ad came on right in the middle of this video.

Keep up the great work in exposing these arseholes and their game rigging. I'm 110% behind you. And as of today...(not surprised) WG has not said shite about this. Stay vigilant as well as all of us shmows and we will win this battle.
