At least get a picture of a F-117. Putting up an image from the game with a random aircraft is just lazy.

    Actually that F-14 in the picutre is missing the highly classified [REDACTED] pod which is capable of [REDACTED] up to a distance of [REDACTED] for IR and [REDACTED] for visual targets. /s

    It's too fucking funny that people are willing to post classified military specs on aircraft just to bitch about a game.

    Devious Russian plan to gather intelligence: bother dumb people with inaccuracies to get them to leak the docs

    To be fair this also happened to Eagle Dynamics, developer of DCS, the other "realistic" flight sim that players take far too seriously. Except there it was a Dev that got arrested in Georgia and extradited to the US...

    At this point we should start tracking what wasn't leaked yet.

    It’s thought that this is the 12th time that either restricted or classified information has been shared on the War Thunder forum.

    12 times?!??

    Probably not alot of secrets about that aircraft left . The Russians probably got a good look at the one that was shot down in 1999.
