Rofl. HERE ARE STATE SECRETS USE THEM TO MAKE GAME BETTER GAME IS LIFE
- USE MY KNOWLEDGE I BEG YOU!!
never gets old 😂.

didn't gajin explicitly state that they cant/wont use leaks of classified documents?
- Yep, they have "treason is against the rules" rule, which lists all the big countries' laws against espionage.
  
  Literally 1984
- 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
  
  What was it about this time?
- 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.
  
  I mean, it's not that far out of the park.
  
  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.
- I expect a truly horrible ingame version of the F22 and F35 to appear in a few patches.
- That wasnt a classified document, though. Anyone can buy a copy.
  
  Plenty of the "classified" documents aren't actually classified. Oftentimes it's a case like this, but I remember one person posted a link to the Wikipedia page for a WW2 tank to show how the in-game stats were nerfed compared to the actual vehicle, and they said they couldn't use data from classified documents.
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.
- Permanently Deleted
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.
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
what, noo, again?!

hahah seriously
PDF link or it didn't happen.
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.
This is so funny.
