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 46 points 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 36 points 1 year ago

you dont see the F-117 because it is stealth aircraft

[-] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I prefer to seeing a picture of a Tomcat over a fugly Nighthawk any day of the week, no complaints here.

As is 9 year old Ford, Nighthawk was the first plane model I ever built

[-] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 114 points 1 year ago

It's too fucking funny that people are willing to post classified military specs on aircraft just to bitch about a game.

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.

To be fair this also happened to Eagle Dynamics, developer of DCS, 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...

[-] Restaldt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 14 points 1 year ago

No, usually I remember that Georgia is a state in the USA because of comments like this

Never heard of that. Could you explain?

[-] mob@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Georgia is a state in America

Georgia is a country in Europe/Asia

Splinter Cell is a game that uses the country of Georgia as a map/plot.

Oh, I'm stupid. Forgot there was a state called georgia. Makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation

Not just you. Not me, but not just you.

OG Ghost Recon too! The into video to that game sounds pretty familiar these days

At this point we should start tracking what wasn't leaked yet.

[-] whitecapstromgard@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 year ago

These people are really hardcore, aren't they?

War Thunder players are a different breed of nerd

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 22 points 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 6 points 1 year ago

Yep and next time will be the 13th times.

[-] HidingCat@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

Anything to win an Internet argument and to get a buff/nerf going. xD

[-] SymphonicResonance@lemmy.world 21 points 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.

[-] randombullet@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

There are a few things left. They still use Luneburg lenses for opfor and non-us exercises.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 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

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 1 year ago

Who needs spies when you got nerds fighting in online forums?

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Well, don't keep us guessing! What did they leak?
