so a War Thunder player in the British army posted classified documents relating to the Challenger 2 tank because he felt that the depiction in the game was inaccurate and wanted to show the devs the proper depiction of its parts.

There was a sticker saying “Unclassified” (and also large sections of the document were blacked out) though the Ministry of Defense confirmed to the devs that the entire document was still classified and either there was a bureaucratic misunderstanding (or the uploaded decided to fucking and redact information himself

My favorite thing is this is apparently not even the first time it’s happened with War Thunder

Before any discussion, handling or bug reports are even made, proof of this documents declassification will be required as well as where it was sourced form. If it is declassified, it should be available to the public. 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. We make it very clear that we will not handle any source material unless it is publically available and fully declassified with the rights to prove that.”
