My coworker is an air force vet. I just told him, with zero context, "it wasn't the war thunder forums this time". He closed his eyes, sighed, and shook his head, then went back to what he was doing.

Serious question: how does war thunder end up with the leaks they do all the time?

People who work on the equipment claiming it's not accurate in-game and posting (classified) proof.

The internet is a stupid place.

People who like war thunder tend to be military folks. Some of those military folks have access to sensitive materials. Some of those people make bad choices about sharing sensitive materials

My guess is that people are nerdy and passionate.

There's going to be a lot of overlap of people who have access to the info and want to play that same tank/jet/boat/whatever in war thunder.

And when the game isn't right or someone is telling you you're wrong the allure of playing the forbidden knowledge card gets too enticing to resist lol

A leak and the war thunder counter is above zero. Interesting times.

It brings me comfort knowing they aren't competent enough to surprise attack Canada
