At least get a picture of a F-117. Putting up an image from the game with a random aircraft is just lazy.

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

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

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.

These people are really hardcore, aren't they?

War Thunder players are a different breed of nerd

[–] SymphonicResonance@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 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

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?
