The images were quickly removed by the moderators and the poster was reminded that they were 'in violation of the Official Secrets Act as stated by the warning on the cover of the document, an offence which can carry up to a 14 year prison sentence if prosecuted.' The first leak took place only three months ago, when someone who had access to classified tank documents belonging to the British Army posted them on a forum in order to try and get War Thunder to change some details about a tank that it had got wrong.
In what is bizarrely the second incident of its kind, a War Thunder player has leaked secret military information about army tanks.
Now imagine if you're in the military and your secrets have been leaked, not by a spy, but by some guy trying to prove a point about a video game. Imagine working hard on a game or feature and planning a huge reveal, only to have it plastered all over the internet before you get the chance to. Video game leaks kind of suck for developers.
