How is this possible / replay broken?

I know I cant discuss cheaters here and I already have reported the player(s) ingame.
I dont call anybody a cheater here, I just have some questions about the things I saw.

Yesterday in Tunisia the enemy team had THREE players with IDENTICAL names including same decorators.
Aren’t player names supposed to be unique? I believe so.
One of the three had a different ranking.
Other players on my team also noticed the same name 3 times in the same battle.

The 3 same-named players teamed up with 2 other players.
In the replay I see that 2 out of the 3 are teamed up with the other 2 players, but not the 3rd of the three.
Yet the 3rd same-named player is in the same battle somehow, by chance or luck perhaps?

afbeelding

Our team was destroyed.
Next battle, same enemy team, our team was destroyed again.
I dont mind being destroyed by good enemies who team up.
But the destruction was great and one of our players wrote this:

To find out if somebody was cheating, I decided to watch the replay.
I am not sure if everything I see is correct or if the replay system doesnt work well.
Here are some things I noticed:

This radioman looks different from my axis radiomen and I dont see him in a premium squad either (we cant change uniforms in Tunisia):

Hammer and rifle at the same time:

The weirdest was this: players stuck together at spawn points everywhere:

I had the replay on pause when I made the screenshots.
When I then pressed play, the formerly stuck soldiers were running.
So this could be an error in the replay system, they were not stuck and mixed at all perhaps.

Please dont say ‘skill issue’ because our team lost big twice.
In fact, before these two battles, our team got even more destroyed by a different team.
That axis team had 8 (eight!!) great players from a Super Chinese Death Squad from Hell.
They destroyed us so quick and hard my head was spinning.
And then the next 2 battles I played were against the team with 3 same-named players who also destroyed us.
Was a fun day yesterday :laughing:
Thanks for reading and feedback.

EDIT: here’s the replay: https://enl-game-replays.enlisted.net/02d7bd880023ae30/1687273000_02d7bd880023ae30.erpl

I have seen several players with the same name taking part in the same match, although they were different from this case. Replays showed that their spotting was unusually fast and they were taking out enemies at considerable distances with submachine guns. Well, I can’t rule them out as cheats on that basis alone, but to me it looked like they were using AIMbot or Wallhack. Then another day, I found a user with the same name as the suspected user in the Escape from Tarkov ban report. I believe it was the same person because the user’s name was a combination of a unique name and number, not a common noun.

The suspicious player in this case is not the same player I witnessed, but I can’t tell if they are cheaters or not, but all the suspicious elements seem to be present.
And the fact that players with the same name are logging into the same matches seems unusual. Even if cheats are not involved, there is a hint that they are involved in RMT or violating some kind of terms and conditions.
Good job if you have reported them in-game.
Wait for Darkflow to track them down and inspect them for illegality.

I sure did report it and another player on my team also reported it.
I wish we would get feedback from darkflow about the result so I know what the result was.
Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Ok thanks.
I dont know much about this, I just start up the game, fight battles and have fun.

I looked at all raiders (= assaulters?) from the levels and the premium ones but I dont see the same one.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.
I have too much free time and I’m going to watch the replay again many times to see if I can find something sus.

Warthunder and Escape from Tarkov publish lists of users they have banned. I would like to see Enlisted do the same.
However, I would imagine that Enlisted’s development team and staff are chronically understaffed. When I see bugs that have been fixed are coming back in updates, I feel they must be really busy.
The fact that Enlisted doesn’t do what WT does probably means that they don’t have the resources yet to do the public relations work of listing and publishing the banned players.

I hope that in the future, anti-cheating measures will be taken in a way that is acceptable to users.

It’s not premium squad. Just default that in 21 lvl.

Why haven’t Chinese players been forced into their client with their own server yet?

Thanks, I did notice that the uniform is the same as the riders, but I didnt know a radioman could be added to this squad.

So I havent really seen any squad yet that doesnt belong in this campaign.
I’ll keep looking.

I have watched this replay as well (was not sus) just to compare with the sus one.
Indeed I see the same thing with messed up players at a spawn points.
This is with the replay on pause.
When I press play, the players act normal and are in a different place.
So probably a bug in the replay system.

And ended like that… :skull_and_crossbones:

So many deserters/disconnectors on our team, it doesnt fit in 1 screenshot.
Next battle…same enemy, same result.

If you can make you feel better, you can always post this to a moderator or forum helper for make them aware more fast, about this sus group of people

A few weeks ago, there was post about account farming.
i left a SS with 2x players with same name, except one was pc, one was console.

But 3x with same name is surely sus as?

So i would of thought each nick/name would of been a one off?, ie if some one had that nick you cant use it?
So there could be other i4i out there?

I don’t want to say anything to offend the respectable chinese forumers and players, but sadly whenever there’s a large number of chinese character name guys on the other team it’s frequently full on lean-shooting-cringe.

Personally, I think it is a premade that uses the same letter character from another alphabet That is the only logical explanation that I believe

this is probably some unicode BS. there are letter lookalikes, so they may seem the same to the eye, but they have different ASCII code in unicode basically making them different letters for computer

this happens when players press join battle at the same time (discord) and they have high chance of ending up together. depending on how tryhard they are, they do this several times (join-quit-join) until they all end up in battle together.
this is nothing new and has been done in many games before.

I encountered the same 5 players in 2 consecutive battles so probably they use another trick.

For avoid find same player you need wait 5 minutes after the battle end before search another one, or switch server for a battle

Do replays include destruction of objects - like windows, wooden logs etc. ?

Because I found a guy shooting through wood.
