    I would think toeing the line like this and being ignored would encourage actual security breaches

      Probably even more so if someone very high up in the executive branch did so as well

        I’m not even sure how the War Thunder community managers haven’t turned into the Joker yet. This is the 17th time. I’d be calling quits.

          We all know the Harriers are terribly incorrect.

          My train of thought after seeing this:

          1. I wonder if at this point an adversary ever deliberately starts arguments for intel.

          2. Man, what if fake documents get leaked to throw off my imagined adversary.

          3. Imagine the internal reaction from the org putting out the fake leak when someone replies to call them out on their bullshit by posting the authentic documents.

            Didn’t Gaijin say that they were gonna freeze the stats for the armament when this happened or was that a fever dream?

              It’s a game that reaches across adversarial borders. Allowing or encouraging leaks like this could bring Gaijin closer to threat of sanctions regardless of law. Any segmentation of the player base would lead to a reduction in user count and therefore a loss of profit.

              So Gaijin cars, a lot.

                  I was thinking about this as well. The spy/troll hits the War Thunder forum with a post like “I hear the new F47 doesn’t even have any components of the Next Generation Air Dominance program” … then he waits for a bite, reels in a little by giving a few fake statements and arguing… then waits for the inevitable top secret manual to be posted.

                    Iirc they’re a Russian company registered in the UK at the moment so they could probably have issues if they don’t try to stop it.
