This happened on Sunday morning and, doubtless quite pleased with their work, _RED_CROSS_ popped back into the thread several times during the day, saying things like "It took ~11 seconds for the turret to make a complete turn, so 550 mil/s (31°) is indeed correct not 40°.

Player _RED_CROSS_ got rather annoyed with a user saying that the turret's rotation speed was 40 degrees a second, among other things, and so decided to try and win the argument by-under the title 'Sekrit Document'-posting portions of the gunner manual for the Leclerc to prove their point (thanks, UK Defence Journal).
#War thunder forum manuals
In 2019 an employee of flight simulation developer Eagle Dynamics was indicted on charges of conspiracy and smuggling for allegedly attempting to have someone inside the United States purchase manuals for the F-16 on eBay and then send them overseas for analysis.The War Thunder forums see many arguments about the accuracy or otherwise of particular hardware, and this weekend saw one about the French Leclerc Main Battle Tank and its variants: which at one stage, got down to the exact speed of rotation of the tank's turret. War Thunder is not the only simulation game to suffer from these types of incidents. In July 2021, details of the United Kingdom’s Challenger 2 main battle tank were leaked, and then in December particulars of the French Leclerc main battle tank also ended up online. This is not the first time that classified information on modern-day weapons systems was leaked on the War Thunder forums. They also claim that the photo includes a close-up image of the weapon, lending additional credence to its authenticity. UK Defense Journal, a volunteer organization that covers issues related to militaries around the world, reports that while the specifications of the DTC10-125 were previously revealed online in multiple locations, this leak appears to confirm them with official government documentation. Polygon has viewed the original image and can confirm it’s quite a comprehensive photo, and includes an annotated diagram of the munition itself as well as its casing, called a sabot. The information was quickly removed from the forums, but it is still available online. Or at least they were until someone on the War Thunder forums got into an argument and needed to prove a point. As such, its capabilities are a closely guarded secret. Also known as a kinetic energy penetrator, its job is to punch through metal and breach the internal compartments of a tank and knock it out of action. The weapon in question is the DTC10-125, an anti-tank round fielded by the modern-day Chinese military. How do we know the documents are authentic? Well, they’re pictured next to the weapon itself. According to defense analysts, while the details of the anti-tank weapon in question were previously known, this is the first time that authenticating documentation has been seen outside of China. A fan of the video game War Thunder, the free-to-play vehicle combat simulator, has leaked classified Chinese military documents on the game’s online forum.
