Leaked again Top-secret docs surface on War Thunder forum

Dec 21, 2023 5:05 PM

Players of the popular MMO War Thunder were once again privy to real-life military documents when sensitive details about the M2A2 Bradley Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle leaked on the game's forums. The technical manual pages posted contained detailed information on the vehicle, not intended for public distribution but not legally classified. This recent leak highlights the ongoing issue of sensitive military information appearing on the War Thunder forums, with previous incidents involving classified data about British and French tanks. Gaijin Entertainment swiftly removed the leaked content and has been dealing with such scenarios since the game's launch ten years back. Despite these issues, War Thunder remains a beloved title in the gaming community, known for its in-depth and authentic military simulations.

Why do sensitive military documents keep leaking on the War Thunder forums?

These leaks often occur when players, in search of greater authenticity and a more accurate in-game experience, share real-life military documents they've acquired to suggest adjustments to the game's vehicle performance. This indicates a tension between the game's goal for accurate simulations and the need to respect confidential military information.
