The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

War Thunder has a multi-level anti-cheat model for dealing with cheaters to ensure a safe gaming environment. You can use the complaint system to send a request to our game masters to check a suspicious player. Use the replay feature on our page to send a complaint about the offender.

Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) support partially prevents players from using illegal software and regular system updates keep an eye on more and more suspicious software so that you can enjoy fair gaming. As a reminder, EAC is active in tournaments and in game modes without markers to eliminate the likelihood of cheaters.

[h2]Banned accounts[/h2]
We regularly block users who violate the Terms of Use and EULA.

In addition, during March 2023 we discovered more than 300 episodes of malicious destruction of allies. In these cases the offenders have been automatically blocked for up to 7 days.
