    i feel like every military needs to go through their personnel and fire every war thunder player on principle at this point. like come on.

      My pet theory is that the military uses the war thunder forums as a honeypot to catch leakers.

        Isn’t that the general theory?

        I like when it’s to win an argument. But it seems it wasn’t the case here?

    And the game is far from a simulator. That’s what I don’t get. Like if it was steel beasts or arma or dcs it’d make sense to me.

    But war of duty. I just don’t get

    They can’t keep doing this!

    How hard is it to not leak sensitive military documents??

      Well, I just checked, the US military has over one million active personnel, and if 1% of them are dumb, and 1% of that are especially dumb, that’s still over a hundred people. So if a few of them play War Thunder… yup.

      Well, I would assume “Not Very”.

    This is getting outrageous. Do you think they’ll hit a 15 streak before playing War Thunder is court marshallable?

      Is War Thunder even a good game? The only time I hear about it is after these leaks. Then it’s like viral marketing and I think “this game must be awesome if people are committing crimes to get minor Stat changes” then I forget about it for a few months until the next leak.

        It is a free pay-to-win shooter. It is designed to get certain types of people addicted to it, to most other people it is boring as hell.

    I think this makes it leak #18 from the forums

    Turns out baiting nerds into internet arguments is significantly more effective then foreign op agents infiltrating the dod.
