Eurofighter Typhoon shenanigans

When you literally add "if you commit real life treason, we will ban you from our videogame forums" and it still doesn't work.

No force is stronger than the autistic urge to correct something that is wrong in the special area of interest.
- Damn straight...
- This is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
  
  actually Cunningham's Law
  
  Nice try

AGAIN?
- It's practically a weekly occurrence at this point.
  
  Surely we can do better. Daily?
  
  Even a friend of mine has contributed to these occurrences, he leaked literally all the specs of a US fighter jet because someone got a minor detail wrong.
  Although, he is also autistic and really interested in weaponry so it's not surprising lol.
- If I had a nickel every time someone posted classified documents in the WarThunder forums I would have 2 3 Enough.

Disagreeing with the moderators is also against the rules.
At least they admit it.
- They didn't say disagreeing with moderators, they said disagreeing with moderation.
  I read that as: You can disagree with how a mod applies the rules and challenge that. You can't disagree with the rules themselves, the rules are the rules, take it or leave it.
  And personally I think complying with NATO export restrictions seems like a good rule.
  
  But I want to win an Internet argument!
- Yeah, thats crazy to me.

All of this has happened before, and it will happen again.
- What's next in the rotation? Helicopters?
  
  Tanks are on track.
- So say we all!

When are we getting them alien tech?
Somebody please leak them.
- Someone comes along with a "You primitive earthlings! The ØXÇ-57 Plasma Cannon has a much faster cool down. [Link to schematics]"
  
  probably the most compelling evidence that aliens have not visited Earth, if they did then technical documentation would have been leaked on warthunder forums.
  
  ØXÇ-57 Plasma Cannon
  "Only what you see Pal."
- War thunder UAP expansion when?
  
  They're all UAPs if you don't know what they are!
  "Good thing I'm not a real pilot. My eyesight sucks."
  
  someone posting the tic-tac specs to win a shitpost argument would epic
- No point in leaking that data if you can't go "look, that alien ship is wrong. Here is the technical doc to prove it"
- I don't think they let the fresh-out-of-ROTC war thunder-obsessed lieutenants have access to Area 51 lol

Opsec? What's that?

I always wonder if those leaks lead to wikipedia improvements on the given topics somewhere down the line
- Wiki requires citation. It's pretty easy for a government to have someone go in there and revert it for being uncited.
  
  At what point is information considered public, once it is public or once its declassified?

What's the current record for days since leak?
- Seventeen
  
  For real?
  I know nothing of this game, except I’ve heard at least three instances where this happened and it always makes me chuckle.

I met a Eurofighter Typhoon pilot once. Having made the Airfix model as a child, I was suitably impressed.

And yet in that same timeline Okami 2 has been announced 18 years after the release of the first game so as long France postpone its warning shot until the game release and I can finish it, I'm ok with that ^^
- Oh shit, Okami 2 is finally happening‽
  Can we get an rerelease of Okamiden to go alongside, please? Have all 3 in one place?
  
  nope, no okamiden since Kamiya is returning as Game Director and he consider Okamiden as a Capcom treason. Okami 2 is officially the direct sequel to Okami replacing Okamiden in the timeline
- Is Okami that PS2 game with the white dog?
  
  yes and it's one of the best game ever. It has since been rereleased as "Okami HD" on modern platform and the sales on this remake must have been really good since Capcom has greelight the recreation of a whole game studio "Clover", rehiring the old Okami Game Director and one of the japanese gamedev legend Hideki Kamiya to make the sequel
- This just officially became the best Friday ever.

I wonder if War Thunder forums will be one of the things Russia will keep allowing connections to (they're planning to get off the wider 'net), since it's such a treasure trove for classified info on other countries' arsenals.
- Disconnecting the country from it doesn't mean their government won't have access...
- Simply put: no. It doesn't make any sense.
  Russia as a whole will not be cut from the internet. North Korea isn't cut from the internet. The public is. And the public does not need this information

Geez, again?!

- Rules 5 & 6. Don't make me get the spray bottle.
- Right! You are ruining capitalism! Free is socialism!
  /s

technically this one wasn't actually classified, it's just "NATO restricted" so if you live in a NATO country (or even some allied countries iirc) you can access it freely as if it was declassified, you just can't send it to China or Russia.
Like you can just freely Google that manual or purchase a physical copy without any sort of checks.
- That isn't what NATO Restricted means, at least not in the US—I'm not going to attempt to delve into Hungarian law. It falls under the category of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) established by Executive Order 13556, and codified in DoD Instruction 5200.48
  This information is not freely available to the public, and must be cleared for release according to the procedures detailed in the aforementioned documents, which specify that it should only be disseminated for official government purposes.
  
  Controlled Unclassified Information
  Yeah, so it's not classified.
- That's literally what classified means, that it has a classification. That classification is NATO Restricted.
  
  As the other reply mentioned, it's "Controlled Unclassified Information" so it's in the name, unclassified.
- Lol no

- this is not classified
  False, it is classified as NATO Restricted. Although NR is the lowest classification, it is not unclassified. Stop spreading misinformation. We have layers of classifications for a reason. Y'all act like everything is either Top Secret or Unclassified with no in-between.
