On July 16th, Redditor Kerbalnaut_ posted to /r/Warthunder, "2014 Veteran here, i captured the D point once, AmA," receiving over 390 upvotes and 60 comments. On June 8th, 2020, Redditor Tomm57 posted an It's All Ohio meme referencing the D point to /r/Warthunder, gaining over 6,000 upvotes in two years (shown below). The callout and D point became a popular meme in the War Thunder community over the following years, often used by veteran players. For example, in 2017, the callout was discussed on the War Thunder forum and /r/Warthunder subreddit. The "attack the D point" callout inspired confusion in the community after its removal, particularly by new players. In 2016, YouTuber Morgan Kell uploaded a video showcasing War Thunder footage where the D point can be seen on the map (shown below). Sometime around 2017, Gaijin Entertainment, creators of War Thunder, made changes to the map and removed the D point, but did not remove the radio callout. Players can use the radio callout, "Attack the D point!" to ask others players to go for the D point. The D point would only appear in the latter half of the game. The user was banned and the message deleted, but the classified document continued to float through social media following the incident.The D point used to exist on War Thunder's Carpathians map as a capturable objective. In this instance, the user noticed placeholder stats for the shell in Gaijin's publicly available development chat log, and perhaps due to a misunderstanding of Gaijin's development process, posted an image containing a classified document with the shell's actual specs. On June 1st, 2022, a user leaked specs on a Chinese armament shell, the DTC10 125mm APFSDS, due to appear in the game.
"Guys its not funny to leak classified Documents of modern equipment you put the lives of many on stake who work daily with the Vehicles! Keep in Mind that those documents will be deleted immediately alongside sanctions. The leaks were quickly scrubbed, and a moderator wrote in the forums: On October 10th, 2021, another War Thunder forums user leaked classified specs for a military vehicle, this time for France's Leclerc Main Battle Tank. Some have also claimed that information about the Challenger 2's gun has leaked, as well as the penetration statistics of a Type 99 cannon, though this is unconfirmed. In addition to the Challenger 2 armor leak and the possible Eurocopter Tiger leak, a leak of France's Leclerc Main Battle Tank and the specs of a Chinese armament shell are both confirmed to have happened in 20, respectively (more on those below). There may be up to six instances of War Thunder players leaking classified information on the game's forums. Rumors say the "leaker" had actually worked on the helicopter in question and thus was able to provide Gaijin Entertainment with non-public information on its specs (it is still unverified if said incident took place). Though this is considered the first major leak in the War Thunder forums by many publications, after similar instances occurred, users in various forums have cited an incident where classified data on the Eurocopter Tiger had leaked, and that incident was the first War Thunder forums leak. The user was warned and moderators and developers reiterated their stance that Gaijin Entertainment only creates vehicles based on publicly available information. Ministry of Defence that the document posted by Fear_Naught remained classified, and that posting the image was an illegal offense that could carry a 14-year prison sentence. The user, believed to be a member of the Royal Tank Regiment of the United Kingdom, then uploaded altered images they claimed were from the Army Equipment Support Publication, or AESP, of the tank.Ī moderator of the forums responded to the post saying that the team behind Gaijin had received written confirmation from the U.K. On July 14th, 2021, War Thunder forum user Fear_Naught took issue with the game's representation of Britain's Challenger 2 tank. Developer Gaijin Entertainment has publically stated its policy is to use publically available information when modeling combat vehicles, which inevitably leads to some inaccuracy in crafting a so-called "perfect" recreation of said vehicles.
In the video game War Thunder, players can operate realistic combat vehicles modeled on actual military equipment.
