What sets this apart is that the player claimed to be a Challenger 2 commander and proceeded to post classified documents to prove they were right. As reported by the UK Defence Journal, the user posted excerpts of the Challenger 2’s “Army Equipment Support Publication”. The document had several sections blanked out, though the user said they were presenting the images to show that the Challenger 2 had not been modelled correctly in-game. A community moderator for Gaijin Entertainment, the developers of War Thunder, responded to make clear that they would not “handle” the source material. Perhaps the best detail of all is that, earlier, another moderater noted that the “last time such a document was shared that was claimed to be ‘unclassified’ it was in fact still classified and was confirmed that it should never have been shared.” Which means this isn’t the first time this has happened.
