      Yep, they have “treason is against the rules” rule, which lists all the big countries’ laws against espionage.

      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

      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.

        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.

        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.

          They should have brought a giant hollow horse to the base gates and snuck a photographer inside

          Fair, but you’re way more likely to get caught if you commit crimes in person, in broad daylight than from your mom’s basement.

    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

    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.
