War Thunder has leaked restricted military documents AGAIN for the third time in a month. This time it's the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicoptor. User BarteG98PL posted the "fully unclassified"

So, tinfoil hat here, this is the military working it's propaganda magic. They're targeting gamers for drone operators (which isnt tinfoil hat talk, they are), and they have a history of working together with projects that paint the military in a "sexy" light (the most wildly know examples are Top Gun but its far from the only)

Am I wrong in thinking maybe this is just a way for them to help the game continuously make headlines to engage more players? Could this be on purpose and it's just marketing?

Considering that leaks have come from militaries around the world that aren't allies, that seems pretty tinfoil hat.
