    And the game is far from a simulator. That’s what I don’t get. Like if it was steel beasts or arma or dcs it’d make sense to me.

    But war of duty. I just don’t get

      Well, I just checked, the US military has over one million active personnel, and if 1% of them are dumb, and 1% of that are especially dumb, that’s still over a hundred people. So if a few of them play War Thunder… yup.

    This is getting outrageous. Do you think they’ll hit a 15 streak before playing War Thunder is court marshallable?

      Is War Thunder even a good game? The only time I hear about it is after these leaks. Then it’s like viral marketing and I think “this game must be awesome if people are committing crimes to get minor Stat changes” then I forget about it for a few months until the next leak.

        It is a free pay-to-win shooter. It is designed to get certain types of people addicted to it, to most other people it is boring as hell.

    I think this makes it leak #18 from the forums

    Turns out baiting nerds into internet arguments is significantly more effective then foreign op agents infiltrating the dod.
