War Thunder devs beg leakers to stop after top-secret tank plans revealed Gaijin EntertainmentAnother War Thunder player has apparently leaked top-secret specs for a French tank, and devs have had to remind the game\u2019s community yet again leaking classified military documents is not OK. War Thunder is a popular military vehicle simulation game produced by Cyprus-based studio Gaijin Entertainment, where players can take control of hundreds of different tanks, planes and ships. It\u2019s touted as being one of most accurate combat vehicle sim games out, and like every other multiplayer game, players are constantly hounding Gaijin devs to buff their favorite war wagon. Recently, one French player took things a bit too far though, by posting classified documents to back up their point that the Leclerc main battle tank wasn\u2019t reaching it\u2019s full potential in-game. As reported by UK Defence Journal the posts were made by a user named __RED_CROSS__ on October 3, all to back up the player\u2019s point that the top-tier tank\u2019s turret rotation speed didn\u2019t match its IRL performance. \u201cIt took [redacted] seconds for the turret to make a complete turn, so [redacted] is indeed correct not 40\u00b0,\u201d they told another player regarding the stat. \u201cI\u2019m mentioning the S2, the tank i was in.\u201d Along with saying they had real life experience with the vehicle, RED_CROSS also posted classified technical documents for the tank literally titled \u201cSekrit document.\u201d Plans like this are kept secret probably because militaries aren\u2019t keen on the exact specs of their battle equipment being public knowledge. Forum moderators removed most of the content quickly, probably because this isn\u2019t the first time they\u2019ve had to deal with classified tank plans being leaked on the forums. \u201cGuys it\u2019s not funny to leak classified documents of modern equipment you put the lives of many on stake who work daily with the vehicles!\u201d Mods reminded War Thunder forum users. \u201cKeep in mind that those documents will be deleted immediately alongside sanctions.\u201d Over on Instagram after the incident had blown up on social media, Gaijin employees also had to deal with fans demanding to see the deleted blueprints. \u201cAgain, when we said \u201cplease don\u2019t send us classified documents, we really don\u2019t want to end up chained at the bottom of a disguised CIA cargo ship in international waters,\u201d this was not reverse psychology,\u201d the official War Thunder account said on Instagram. \u201cDon\u2019t send us classified documents.\u201d Like we\u2019ve mentioned this isn\u2019t even the first time War Thunder has had to deal with top-secret tank plans being shared on their forums by over enthusiastic players. Back in July of 2021 a user claiming to be a British tank commander leaked classified plans for the Challenger 2 tank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
