Classified military documents have been leaked to the War Thunder forum for the third time.
The MMO military vehicle combat game from Gaijin Entertainment has a fervent fanbase that demands realism from the developers.
But once again that’s gone too far, as classified documents of the DTC10-125 Chinese anti-tank missile have been leaked by fans in a further bid for realism.
This previously happened with British and French tanks.
The post on the War Thunder forum was quickly removed, stating: “Materials related to the DTC10-125 are classified in China”.
As per a post on Resetera, however, this could have been avoided entirely. Details of forthcoming content were posted on a recently closed publicly accessible development server, but specifics were only placeholder.
“So what happened was the developer added this shell to the server, but copy/pasted the values of the previous version as a placeholder,” reads the post. “This poster saw this, flipped out, and went ahead and posted treason to correct what are publicly communicated as placeholder values.”
