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[warthunder.com] 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.
