It's too fucking funny that people are willing to post classified military specs on aircraft just to bitch about a game.
The War Thunder forum has once again been used to share restricted plane documentation - this time about the F-117 Nighthawk

Devious Russian plan to gather intelligence: bother dumb people with inaccuracies to get them to leak the docs

“No way to prevent this” says only forum where this regularly happens.
Oinks@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
To be fair this also happened to Eagle Dynamics, the other “realistic” flight sim that players take far too seriously. Except there it was a Dev that got arrested in Georgia and extradited to the US…

Anyone else here only remember that Georgia is a country because of splinter cell?

At this point we should start tracking what wasn’t leaked yet.
mojo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It’s thought that this is the 12th time that either restricted or classified information has been shared on the War Thunder forum.
12 times?!??
topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yep and next time will be the 13th times.

Anything to win an Internet argument and to get a buff/nerf going. xD
SymphonicResonance@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Probably not alot of secrets about that aircraft left . The Russians probably got a good look at the one that was shot down in 1999.

There are a few things left. They still use Luneburg lenses for opfor and non-us exercises.
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That pretty little triangle hasn’t flown a mission in about 15 years but yeah, we still use Luneberg reflectors on 35s. That’s not secret science though

Who needs spies when you got nerds fighting in online forums?
PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 year ago

At least get a picture of a F-117. Putting up an image from the game with a random aircraft is just lazy.
ours@lemmy.film 1 year ago
Actually that F-14 in the picutre is missing the highly classified [REDACTED] pod which is capable of [REDACTED] up to a distance of [REDACTED] for IR and [REDACTED] for visual targets. /s
Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 1 year ago
you dont see the F-117 because it is stealth aircraft
Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I prefer to seeing a picture of a Tomcat over a fugly Nighthawk any day of the week, no complaints here.
