I was replying because your post makes it sound like they can’t check up on what files you have. But they can, and yes I know mods are ok to use at this time. But things change on world of tanks all the time and soon someone at world of tanks will be banning people who use mods it’s just a matter of time.
As for people running illegal copies of Windows that would be most of the Russian players.

It’s more than that. The main problem with the WoWp interface is that it goes exactly opposite what even the most basic flight simulation control scheme uses. Even games from the DOS days have better control schemes than what WoWp currently has. For example, unless you go into the menu and physically set certain keys, it’s flat impossible to do even the simplest aileron roll (barrel roll) with the plane. Rudder controls are flat out ignored, and the default mouse control is twitchy at best. What’s more, this shoddy control scheme translates into equally shoddy gameplay, and is something that could come back to haunt WG unless they do something about it.

Now I know, some reading this will say “but it’s not a simulator…” this is true, but even non simulation “arcade” type flight games still stick to pretty much a standard set of controls that were first laid out by the early flight sim games. In the end, I think WG tried to emulate the control they have in World of Tanks, without really understanding or realizing that it would hamper the players more than help them.

At this point, probably the best thing they could do is simply say to the players “Yes, we messed up with the control scheme. We’ll have to put some things like the British planes, and updates on the back burner while we go back and correct our mistake.” They won’t do that though.

The question was to ban Noobmeter (XVM) not XVM only. They will both be banned and then you will have to look up their progress on the Worldoftanks website.

Goodluck

You don’t get it do you?

From your wise words I interpret that you are not a team player.

I don’t use XVM. I dont need to know the quality’s of any opponent.

The problem is guys like you that want to show your e-peen, and therefore firstly play for stats and secondly to win.

The problem with players like that starts from Tier 1/ Tier 2 battles – They don’t have the chance to learn how to play this game because they die to early killed by players in T18 or Pz I C (quite often in platoons), some of them have a sick number of games, like 3-6k in that tank, they have maxed up tanks with 100% crew and perks…

On the other hand we have new players to the game that die to early to learn anything, most of the time they don’t even know what killed them and how? After dying X-times they are discouraged and give up, they choose the easier way to reach top tier tank in this line either by playing as AFK, or playing not caring about the end result just to get experience, or exchanging experience from eg. T8 premium tank (at which they suck), they reach T10 and do the same with another tank line… like with Pokemons – Catch them all…

There is another problem – noobs, players that don’t even have 1k games – buy tanks like T34 or Lowe – and they have no idea how to drive them because they took a shortcut, they think they are invincible standing in the middle of the map and die first while being to tier tank on you team…

No one needs XVM for that. When the only E-75 in the team hangs far back in the map, despite the team begging him to lead the push, no one needs XVM to know that the guys sucks bad, and people will bash him, regardless of stats.
Play well and no one will bad mouth others for that. Suck and deal with the consequences.

I hope they will make it available for some other CW campaign.
