    For fucking once it’s not idiots leaking western stuff. I’m like halfway convinced War Thunder is a Russian intelligence operation

      tbf, if I ran an intel agency, after all these incidents, Id probably have someone “leak” fake classified docs on the warthunder forums or other similar places once in a blue moon, to spread misleading information to rival agencies as to the capabilities of my nation’s equipment. Both to blend in with a place idiots are known to actually post such info, and if its found out my agency was doing this, to cast doubt on the validity of any real docs from my side that were leaked before. Doesnt seem like itd cost much of anything to do, so there would have to be only minimal benefit to be marginally worth it

      There have been two leaks about Chinese tanks and two about Russian jets even before this one, so while it’s mostly Western gear it’s not only that

        Oh yeah I know there’s been other leaks before, just that most of the time it seems like it’s western gear and it’s a refreshing change

      Not even the stupidest Take. Gijin is a Hungarian game studio and Hungarian Govt is more or less pro Russian.

            This is why I’m halfway convinced. Like, I’m not actually convinced, but I’m also not not convinced.
