at some point i feel like militaries are going to start screening out WT players because its apparently such an intelligence risk lmao
US immigration adding on "Do you currently have or have you ever had an account on the War Thunder forums?" to the questionnaire.
Sorry son, you aren't allowed to be drafted for thr next ethnic cleansing. We found a War Thunder account from your house. Security risk. Hope you understand.

Son, have you ever had a War Thunder account?
N...No
WEEEOOOOOOWEEEOOOOO polygraph off the charts, guy shoots me in the head
LMAO
Honestly, if the US cared or wasnt abusing it themselves they'd shut down War Thunder in the same stroke they shut down TikTok.
Funny thing is, at least in the US, documents with different classification levels may contradict one another. I had a coworker who used to work on threat modeling code for USAF training sims, and as the story went, they would go to a classified-secret level meeting where the presenter would say that such-and-such surface-to-air missile had X capabilities, and then another classified-top-secret meeting later that day would list completely different capabilities. They would still have to write the training sim code according to the secret-level intel; I'm guessing this is so that if there was a leak, it wouldn't reveal that the DOD had the real info all along and risk either outing their sources or causing tech to be phased out more quickly, thus necessitating different countermeasures.
Some pretty wild trolling must have gone on back and forth between the US and the USSR towards the end of the Cold War.
Posting confidently incorrect takes on the War Thunder forums might be the most effective praxis you can do from behind a computer screen.
Sukhoi's fault that it looks SO COOL and makes me want to WIN AN ARGUMENT ONLINE.
The leaks in question since I can't find anything other than hearsay and what seems like a running gag.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
So many documents are classified that I accidentally leak stuff sometimes just because my document happens to coincide with classified info monkey-on-a-typewriter style.
Julian Assange been real quiet since the War Thunder forums were established
which other time, it was Chinese, British, American, Russian, all
