"War Thunder" is a multiplayer vehicle shooting game with the background of World War II, the Cold War and the contemporary war on terrorism. It is widely loved by players and military fans because it provides a very detailed and personalized vehicle driving and combat experience. Recently, in the "War Thunder" game forum, some players took out genuine confidential documents when discussing tank-related issues. It is worth noting that the leaks were not one, but two in succession.
First, on December 11, the VT-4 main battle tank was leaked. The leaked content seemed to be the crew manual of the Thai Army;
Then on December 12, two pages from the technical manual of the M2A2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle were also leaked.
Although the two leaks occurred on the "War Thunder" game forum, this was not the original place where the files were leaked, and the forum quickly deleted the relevant discussions.
However, what is interesting is that this is not the first time that "hardcore players" of "War Thunder" have leaked relevant military secrets to compare with the numerical parameters in the game. There have been nine leaks in 2023 alone. The leaks in January were similar to this one, with two leaks also appearing in a short period of time.
