This guy was killing me out of the AH with one shot with a jet. Radeon ReLive was being a bitch and decided to turn off for some reason so I didn't get video of this. I decided to spec him and saw him use a wallhack or something, saw a guy he should not have been able to see. Other people on the server, including libra I think, were calling him out. After that I think he knew I was spectating him and he decided to play really dumb.
His stats aren't weird so far as I can tell, but he's only played 5 games after not playing for 2 years.
 
From what I've gathered, and observed myself, it appears that Zefapirata's method for hiding their aimbot seems to be to constantly, shoot wildly into the air to bring their accuracy as low as possible. However, it doesn't hide the auto-lock, which I did catch on video... before they started doing dumb things, as observed by Dan as well. They're also not very good at hiding the ESP (which Dan shows above).

They made a sudden change in global location. Not to mention that they're masking their Ping (reported 7, but would return to ~168 randomly).
 
What they do, is turn the hack on and off ( ping spikes ) to help suppress being snagged. Firing wildly does indeed drop down their accuracy and cover their tracks. Once they get really good at it, they can get to the point of being almost undetecable. Alot of the time you can look at their graphical stat history and it will look saw-toothed, have spikes in scoring that make no real sense and or even a skyward influx zooming like mad.

The location thing, Brazil, Russia and Germany being the main culprits, has been going on for years. They bounce their IP ( account ) out of one of those countries in an attempt to hide themselves obviously. There are actually servers there setup for just such a thing believe it or not. And it happens all the time.

So when you see a sudden move in IP from their home country to a place 1/3 to 1/2 way across the globe, 9 times out of 10, this is why.

There are numerous people that play on this server ALL THE TIME that we all know are hacking, run streaks of 75-2, 80-3, ect... make crazy shots, but they tone down the aimbots to keep their accuracy about 50% with minimal headshots. We all KNOW they are cheating, but nothing ever gets done because it cant be PROVEN because they know what the admins look for. Its actually pretty pitiful.
 
I went and checked some AA stats for various players, including myself... trying to find kill counts relatively close to each other

KarekCat: 49 kills 4295 shots 226 hits (5% Accuracy) 30mm
dfSatan: 34 kills 17980 shots 349 hits (2% Accuracy) 20mm
Redkilla: 32 kills 3139 shots 1026 hits (33% Accuracy) 30mm
Akula: 35 kills 13148 shots 518 hits (4% Accuracy) 20mm
Wiz: 38 kills 13032 shots 339 hits (3% Accuracy) 20mm

Zefa: 40 kills 17,406 shots 327 hits (1% Accuracy) 20mm

Other than the obvious outlier (what a cheater!), there is a general single-digit accuracy for AA users.

So, it seems to be within margin of error. However, we still have the videos Dan and I produced, and their ping spoofing. One which seems like a pretty obvious ESP, and the other appears to be an aimbot lock, followed by a drastic change in gameplay style.

A player with a fucked up looking name, essentially Iron On Zer God, using a bunch of random letters/numbers for characters was doing the exact same thing as Zef was when I played against him. Search for ZER in battlelog at this time (10:45 PM CST), and you'll find him. Went about 35-5. I sent a few reports, and you'll see plenty of regs complaining about him. I bet you he's the same fucking dude.

EDIT: I should add, the consistent trademark was that they were shooting the pilot across the map. They damaged the aircraft, yes, but the majority of the damage was to the pilot, like when you get shot out as a lil bird pilot. That's pretty fucked from across the map (like spawn tower to E/G).

I capped a little footage of lr0nlOnIzerIlG0d, but got nothing definitive. They didn't stick around either.

Seriously, Izh. if you wanna catch them, we need it on video. They drastically change their play style when someone hops into spectator.

The MO is the same though. Old account, suddenly becoming active and in a totally different country.
 
Thanks for taking the time to look him up! I knew I wasn't crazy. Their play style is the exact same.

I've tried the screen cap stuff, and at least on my system, it drops frame rates hard. I'm using an old R9 380 4gb and trying to play on a 2k 140hz monitor. I'm barely treading water. I'm hoping to build a new system soon, but I need some business stuff to pick up so I can write off the expense.
 
You could even use your phone in a pinch, if it's really that bad. But we really do need footage. There's a lot of hints, but it's hard to ban without a smoking gun.
