War Thunder has a lot more leaks, but many of them are just export restricted manuals that don’t really matter. This seems to be a bit more serious than the norm (still not as bad as the Challenger 2, Chinese APFSDS or Eurocopter incidents).
Not only do they keep doing this, Warthunder's owner Gaijin has repeatedly stated that they will not change stats of vehicles if the source used has any sort of classification to it, and will avoid altering the vehicles parameter in order to prevent any potential legal issues with the country or manufacturer unless it is explicitly declassified. If I leak a document on the autoloader speed of tank X with a current in-game reload of 5.2 seconds and the document says that it reloads in 4.6 seconds, Gaijin will refuse to change the reload speed, even if they were going to change it beforehand to an educated guess. These idiots are not only breaking espionage laws, but also preventing any buffs or nerfs that could have happened in the future.
Not sure why you're being downvoted but the arguments over DCS can be just as bad. It's just not as big as Warthunder or World of Tanks, so the noise doesn't generate as much attention.
Still, I think DCS keeps most of it out of the public view, and Eagle Dynamics does a good enough job of trying to keep things as realistic as possible without including classified mechanics. Most of the retired pilots who have some nitpicks and gripes with the craft usually are keen enough to recognise that the aeronautics are close enough and don't need to breach laws to accomplish the intended task.
DCS has an equipment/skill requirement that keeps most of those types out. It takes a long time to get good at it, and you'll never really get there without some kind of HOTAS setup, and usually an expensive one. War Thunder is essentially a mobile game with zero barriers to entry, so it's going to be open to literally anyone.
Also, he's being downvoted because it's Gizortnik, and a lot of people on this sub hate him and based their votes on that and not the content of the post.
Wait so we're back to War Thunder not Thugshakercentral on Minecraft lol

They keep doing this to win an internet argument over a video game.
Good Lord, some people's priorities...

It wasn't DCS this time? That's where all the nerds normally go.

There were multiple major leaks to DCS because nerds in defense were angry that their sim game didn't map weapons correctly.
