    The only thing funnier than War Thunder leaks are the bootlicking losers who get mad about it

    I feel like there's a possibility that the War Thunder forums are a vehicle for plausible deniability of spying for another country. They pay you to post something on the War Thunder forum at a specific time, if you get caught you play dumb. Would be pointlessly roundabout though.

    but it's probably just idiots.

      Even as a g*mer I'd rather risk doing the time in prison than play enough war thunder to make this plausible.

      The Jack Teixeira case shows that there's a bunch of classified shit that's accessible to swaths of 'analysts', half of which probably are playing War Thunder.

    It's very funny that it happens so frequently and I honestly fail to see the harm for normal people.

    I play DCS but I redownloaded WT yesterday because I just love the WT community leaks. michael-laugh

        I'm only playing it because at the moment my VR experience with DCS is subpar and I'll surprise myself with a better GPU come this November. Plus the F14B kinda plays nice in WT.
