Rofl. HERE ARE STATE SECRETS USE THEM TO MAKE GAME BETTER GAME IS LIFE

never gets old 😂.

didn't gajin explicitly state that they cant/wont use leaks of classified documents?

This one looks like it's not restricted in USA/Europe, but still technically export controlled, thus the removal. All the foreign states definitely already have it, but they removed it since it's technically restricted

Not surprising. At the very least could probably get sued for intellectual property violations.

I swear at this point they do this shit on purpose. Poorly implement vehicle models into the game, their suffering-oriented game design makes people mad enough to want the vehicles better represented, but they don't accept any other "secondary sources" so people resort to leaking classified documents.... It's too crazy not to think it's on purpose.

That's some 4D Level international espionage.

It’s what real espionage looks like. There’s so many damn classes I have to take exactly about this kind of stuff because it’s so effective.

Espionage in movies: any scene from 007

Real espionage: lol bro check out this sweet game it's on this flashdrive I picked up outside.

I mean, it's not that far out of the park.

I expect a truly horrible ingame version of the F22 and F35 to appear in a few patches.

the DA.7 manuals are not classified. they are public buyable for everybody for 10€. so at most one could argue the poster is violating the copyright.

These War Thunder shenanigans will never stop being peak comedy for me

I also find the story of the ARMA developers who were arrested because they were photographing a military base in Greece to use in developing games.

Thats significantly dumber than this manual leaking though.

Be honest, no one expected the Greek army to be paying attention.

They should have brought a giant hollow horse to the base gates and snuck a photographer inside

Fair, but you're way more likely to get caught if you commit crimes in person, in broad daylight than from your mom's basement.

I like how y'all just believe something is classified.

also this post is ancient.

Really? Again???? Mad enough to post a 700+ document, can't do a protest of the game. War thunder players are something else

Can Phasmaphobia fans leak what the government knows about ghosts? Asking for a friend.

Isn't the Typhoon DA.7 flight manual not classified? I thought they got it from a FoIA request

To learn new battle strategies and stay one step ahead of the enemy? Duh.
