Not as well. The joke here because War Thunder players have, several times in the past, leaked sensitive data while arguing about unit stats.
Sure other games have detail oriented fan bases, but none take it as far as:
- The DTC10-125 is compatible with various Chinese MBTs and is excellent at taking out enemy tanks. The player behind the leaks didn't just post the DTC10-125's documentation--they posted a photo of its documentation with the projectile in question sitting right on top of the paperwork. Naturally, Chinese authorities are not pleased.
- a player had uploaded a NATOPS (Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization) manual that was not approved for public release. The specific section of the manual uploaded discusses the AV-8B and TAV-8B Harriers, two aircraft used by the United States' Navy and Marine Corps.
- A French Army tank crewman has leaked a portion of the Leclerc Main Battle Tank’s classified manual on the forum for popular online game War Thunder, the second time a leak of tank specifications has happened.
- A user identifying as a Challenger 2 commander posted specific excerpts from a Challenger 2 AESP (Army Equipment Support Publication, sort of like a user manual) to show game developers that they “didn’t model it correctly”.
And that wasn't even all of them.
I mean, their community guidelines had to include:
You are prohibited from publishing any Classified information, Export-restricted military-technical data, or other defense-related information...
