So basically, if I’m an enemy nation, all I have to do to gain military secrets, is claim a bunch of people online are wrong. Then hope one of them is in possesion of classified documents, and is also an idiot.
We live in the dumbest timeline.

I see what you did there.
Wow. That was too good lol
Ok, i take this bait :

Cunningham is credited with the idea: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”Standard operating procedure for getting help on Linux tech support is to say that Linux sucks and that it would be way easier to complete a certain task on Windows.
The next james bond film shpuld have a warthunder forum subplot
Add UFO to warthunder so people can leak real UFOs. 👀
Nah, just gotta call up Tom DeLonge, he’ll hook us up.
They have added it back then as an April fools update for a short time testing out physics I guess: https://old-wiki.warthunder.com/UFO
I mean at this point it’s not even news
But still funny every time somehow
“Leaked”. Uh huh
I feel like this should be simple to solve, just say “If anyone ever posts classified info about an in-game stat, that stat is permanently frozen at the current value forever, regardless of accuracy.”
With a rule like this, posting classified info immediately means you lose the argument, and people only do it cuz they love to argue online.
Already ahead of you. Gaijin repeats time after time that they cannot under any circumstances use classified/leaked info for stats. Like they legally can’t. So if you post it, they can’t do anything with it neither now nor ever. xD
Then people will do it to troll the game.
What, it’s only the 15th time…
17th, I think.
Wasn’t that leaked a few weeks ago?
I guess the radar specs wasn’t included in that previous leak?
Yeah, it’s a new leak for the same (?) aircraft, which makes this somehow even funnier
If I was the US government I would backdoor this website and revoke security clearances for everyone with an account.
who’s to say dod hasn’t done this already and is using it to spread false information and monitor spies.
I had a friend who was joining the Royal Air Force and he was asked during an interview if he was a Warthunder player.
(I wonder if this information on the interview process in itself is classified. Oops.)
RIP
You will be missed.
They should add the TR3B because I want specs.
As is tradition.
It never ends
Wiki Leaks simulator
It genuinely amuses me that DCS has had very few instances of sensitive or classified information being leaked.
Whereas frigging War Thunder can’t make it a quarter without needing to scrub their forums.
I understand the reality is that it is not about authenticity and more about being able to say the missile they schlep around a hanger is the best missile in the world. But still! You would expect the sickos who get off on the exact right shade of deteriorated grey being on a bezel would care more than the War Thunder crowd.
It’s because playing War Thunder makes people very, very angry.

I think Gaijin also causes this with how they “artificially balance” vehicles based on vague or basically made-up sources and ignore direct sources when it pleases them. Look at the current fiasco going on with their new $60 tank that can’t even get smoke grenades for the launcher that’s literally on the model for a perfect example.
Or, that time they refused to buff a WW2 tank and called the Wikipedia article a classified document.
