Please update and improve anti-cheat on console

Suggestions

We are playing in console only games and have recently been running into quite a few extremely questionable players. Things we are seeing include:

  • players ignoring the damage of all nearby blasts (grenades, tank and aircraft fire, and mines)
  • bullets only registering hits on their extremities, so torso and head do not appear to have a hit box.
  • fire damage does far less than it should be to them. They are on fire still fighting for long periods of time.
  • what appears to be their camera snapping to whoever is closest to them, even through walls and other terrain. Many times have had an MG or SMG player running through with perfect aim while firing from the hip. Often pre-firing a corner then without letting off the trigger snaps from target to target until mag is empty. (It’s definitely NOT a bot.)
    = some kind of radar, where they can see where everyone in the map is located. We have had too many instances where our spotter player gets found by planes or infantry, when he hasn’t even fired a bullet, only calls in artillery and uses binoculars.
  • planes repairing while in flight. We have had games where we hit them till flames and black smoke is pouring out and they look like they are going down, just to magically repair back to where white smoke is starting to appear, and pull back up. Have also had this happen mid-dog fight where they were able to repair their bomber and even recover use of tail-gunners.

Point being, there seems to be players getting around anti-cheat on console, and I wanted to bring this to the devs attention before the big update.

Sounds like most are glitches and the rest is skill issue, I’ve not encountered these problems.

Sounds like someone just matched against some of the top 5%.

4/5 of your arguments are nothing more than the average description of such encounters.

I’m a xbox player and been playing for a long time. I can safely say I’ve never run into cheaters or someone I think could have been cheating. I think you’ll need to provide greater proof of “suspected” cheating in the future for a claim like this to hold any water

I have seen the flame thing, some people tell me to cut engine and that put out fire sometimes, but not repair plane!

But rest sound like random rng of enlisted, not cheats, not bugs either… but misfortune best way and shortest way to describe it.

It sound like skill issue

I have to disagree that its an RNG thing. Its the same players that we see it occurring with on a nightly basis. All the other enemies show no signs of these issues. Its only ever those players. One game, ok that might be RNG. Two games, perhaps coincidence. Three games or more, this is a clear pattern and should be treated as such.

In addition, the questionable behavior seems to really increase when they start to lose. Like the other night: we started winning confrontation due to the sheer number of mines we were dropping to thin out their numbers. All of a sudden, we start losing insane numbers due to an MG42 sitting BEHIND THEIR SPAWN with zero line of sight to us. When that same person finally did push forward, he ran straight through the minefield with explosions going off at his feet without taking damage. Our sniper couldn’t kill him, our MG couldn’t kill him, and our flamethrower couldn’t kill him.
Fast forward to a few games later, we faced him again. He took a tank. We hit it 3 times with a 1,000lb bomb, including a direct hit, and it registered as no damage done. Shot it with a field gun, no damage done. Shot it with the Boys ATR, no damage done. He wasn’t angled, so the shots were not deflecting. They just were not hurting him. He went back and re-armed twice. We literally could not kill him no matter what we hit him with. Its not a skill issue.
