At least get a picture of a F-117. Putting up an image from the game with a random aircraft is just lazy.
- Actually that F-14 in the picutre is missing the highly classified [REDACTED] pod which is capable of [REDACTED] up to a distance of [REDACTED] for IR and [REDACTED] for visual targets. /s
- you dont see the F-117 because it is stealth aircraft
- I prefer to seeing a picture of a Tomcat over a fugly Nighthawk any day of the week, no complaints here.
  
  How fucking dare you
It's too fucking funny that people are willing to post classified military specs on aircraft just to bitch about a game.
- Devious Russian plan to gather intelligence: bother dumb people with inaccuracies to get them to leak the docs

- To be fair this also happened to Eagle Dynamics, developer of DCS, the other "realistic" flight sim that players take far too seriously. Except there it was a Dev that got arrested in Georgia and extradited to the US...
  
  Anyone else here only remember that Georgia is a country because of splinter cell?
How many times
This many times
War Thunder §Classified documents leaks
- To long; didn't count
  12
At this point we should start tracking what wasn't leaked yet.
It’s thought that this is the 12th time that either restricted or classified information has been shared on the War Thunder forum.
12 times?!??
- Yep and next time will be the 13th times.
These people are really hardcore, aren't they?
- War Thunder players are a different breed of nerd
Anything to win an Internet argument and to get a buff/nerf going. xD
Probably not alot of secrets about that aircraft left . The Russians probably got a good look at the one that was shot down in 1999.
- There are a few things left. They still use Luneburg lenses for opfor and non-us exercises.
  
  That pretty little triangle hasn’t flown a mission in about 15 years but yeah, we still use Luneberg reflectors on 35s. That’s not secret science though
Who needs spies when you got nerds fighting in online forums?
Well, don't keep us guessing! What did they leak?
War Thunder players be like ...
