A damn shame, someone who committed this much time and money to WG and not even an explanation

I'd hazard a guess that someone told them that 417 is slang for crystal meth.
Although I'd like to think they would force a name change instead of a ban.

Wow, after reading some of these exploits, I can remember being hammered by a Hummel at the start of a Ensk map, so I rolled behind a building, a tall one, and the same Hummel hit me for a kill only seconds afterward. I told my friends on Skype that that clown must be hacking, but how? That round had to drop straight down on me, and there was no time for a scout to get close enough. Oh well, it's just a game, go back to garage, then pick another tank.

I questioned the presence of hacks ONCE.

I got shot through a building on the south side of the hill on Himmelsdorf.

Then I realized there's a gap between those buildings....


So, NO there are no hacks.
Only a lack of understanding of the facts.

Anytime you one-shot someone, you must be a haxors. Anytime they one shoot you, they must be hakurs.http://forum.worldoftanks.com/public/style_emoticons/default/Smile_sceptic.gif

I think they point has been said, the server based computers do the calculations that must be 'hacked' I don't think many people at the NSA play WoT, but ya never know...
There are things on the user side, such as graphics calculations(how much you see, some of use run on lower settings and such). These can be modified or Mods; the sight mod, the OTM; all those are all graphics based on user side. Where your shell hits, when you see a tank~or they see you, the Dmg, all the Random Number Generations are done on the main computer in Russia or W/E.
Being called a hacker means you played well, take it as a compliment, say Thanks.

   On a final blah blah.. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they can't see you...

Short, simple and to the point. +1

Instead of crying hacks, do something constructive like watching the replay of the situation. Hell, shoot the other player a message in-game politely asking for his as well. There is a great deal to be learned from just playing the part of a spectator.

purposeful ignorance of a problem doesn't make it go away.

The insta-kill on round start (the instant the round starts) by tier 4 arty.  Not 4-5 seconds in.  The INSTANT the match starts.  I've fired at random down range before on tier 4 arty and gotten that lucky shot.  it happens.  but it still takes a few seconds.  Again, this is happening the instant the timer stops counting and the match begins.

As for the machine-gun effect T34's, I haven't witnessed it again.  While it is possible it is lag, I have serious doubts as to a T34 shooting 2 rounds a second as legit or explainable away.

For those claiming the game is unhackable:  IT IS HACKABLE.  Practically every MMO does everything server-side.  Every MMO gets hacked.  However, this game has practically 0 economic incentive for it.  It really only has the 'for the lulz' incentive at the moment.

Thank you, only for this. But they will always and always and always repeat the same : it is not cause it is server based...

and the hacks or cheats are not done only to have an economic benefit, very often they are just done for fun, or to bring a server down...can you imagine, what would happen, if they would be able to kill the server only for one day, this dramatic scenes , small boys running around, not knowing what to do, elderly man with half empty beerbottles scratching their few hairs on the head

they hack and cheat everything. and they can, but if they always WANT ? nobody knows..but it IS possible

[Hobbe]

You guys really don't understand hacks, do you?

Breaking into a server is not hacking.
It's more like data mining.
And you can't change anything on the server.

Put it this way.

I can break into your house and maybe even steal something, and get away.
You'll know I broke in, and you'll fix the window.
Or I could jam your lock so you can't get in.
This is a generic hack and sure, it could be done ONCE.

There is no way I can walk in and out of your house, all day long and you won't notice me.
That would be a game hack.

Put another way, what prevents your gun from firing everytime you click the mouse?
The timer on the Server.
How are you going to run a rate of fire hack?
Get a program that tells the server to fire twice a second?
The server has the timer...

Give it up people, no one is going to share their way cool hacks with you, because they don't exist.

  I got 'reported' for hacking last night. It's been a while and it was delicious. The nerd rage from the opposing T20 was priceless. The conversation went something like this:

Enemy T20: "Ur hacking unless you explain what ur doing"
Me: "LOL H4X"
Allied T-50-2: "We can see you"
Enemy T20: "Reporting for hacking if you don't explain"
Me: "All ur packets r belong to me"
LOLs from my team
Enemy T20: "Reported...STFU Sumi"
Me: "Ok thx"
Enemy T20: "Enjoy ur ban"
Me "Nah...I'm pro @ h4X"
Allied T-50-2: "We still see you...bah bye"
Enemy T20 goes into a tirade about how we hacked the game and he was going to get us all banned.

There is maybe some bots, but definitely no hacker.

There was an announcement some time back about people using the tracers as hacks, somehow they modded them to give an advantage.  That is why tracers were removed for so long, so they can be fixed.  

Other than that, this game seems to be hack free... unlike most other free to play games.  (either that or I have been lucky not running into them)

They used a program to color the tracers different shades(dark green, blue ect) that can easily be seen. they also modded it to keep the tracers on the screen. Say on the enemy team someone had this hack. You were in a ferdi sniping away, you sit in the same spot. To the guy with the hack, you are a guy with 5 blue lines pointed directly at him. Assuming he uses a gun with decent penn and accuracy, usually German td's or arty, they just take aim and fire.

Replay, or it never happened.

I wish that I had the T34 that your imagination has.....

Same here, so long as it had 10x the ammo capacity it normally does.. otherwise you'd be out of ammo in 10 seconds.

i haven't seen it happen since 7.3 went live.

But it has happened.  I don't know why they do it as they run out of ammo within the first couple minutes of the game.  It is a massive waste of credits.  I guess "for the lulz" is the only reason.

Most of my hackusations are while driving my T82.  I've one shotted plenty of T28s and Hetzers in it so that tends to get some dander up about how a tier III TD with tissue armor could manage such a feat.  The answer is simple, a 105mm gun lobbing high explosive into spots with weak enough armor for it to pen.  

Ever one-shot a Su-85 with the 105mm HE?

I did it a few times using the Hetzer when i was grinding it, shot them at over 250m, the shell arcs high and hit their frontal armor at an angle that negates the slope, the HE can pen and one-shot them.

Feels good.   

VladimirsRevenge, on Apr 12 2012 - 12:48, said:

Now, the mistake a lot of people make is they compare everything to games like Call of Duty or Diablo II. Those games were PROGRAMMED WITH HACKS AND CHEATS BUILT IN ALREADY. Now, most of those hacks are simply disabled when the game is released to the public, but the code is still there. So what you get in those games are so much 'hacking' as they are 'exploiting what is already there'.

Battlefield 3 and it's client-side hit detection, rampant cheating since launch. There were even wall hacks available during the few days of open beta before the launch.

Actually the vast majority of MMO games are client side for most of it. WoT is one of the few server side games that I am aware of.

They didn't use a program at all. Originally all the settings for the tracers were in freaking text files in the game folder. If using notepad was hacking then yeah, it was hacking.
