I agree with China on this one. Stop posting pictures. Instead upload actual documentation/manuals to Discord to get War Thunder devs to fix the stats.
it's funny how often it happens lol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the age of open-source intelligence, one main way for Western experts to keep tabs on China’s military is by analyzing photos of new People’s Liberation Army equipment posted online by amateur enthusiasts.
Posting photos of military ships or aircraft captured from outside PLA installations or from commercial flights near sensitive areas has become a common sight in recent years as China rapidly modernized its forces.
For example, the agency only earlier this year launched its social media account – dedicated to warning citizens about the risks of exposing China’s secrets to the outside world and calling on them to join its fight against espionage.
In April 2023, state broadcaster CCTV disclosed in a news report that in November 2021, Mr. Luo, a “fairly renowned” military enthusiast, was sentenced to one year in prison following his arrest by the Shanghai national security bureau for photographing the Fujian carrier.
“It shall be unlawful to make any photograph, sketch, picture, drawing, map, or graphical representation of such vital military and naval installations or equipment,” unless proper permission is obtained beforehand, the US Code states.
After photos of a suspected mockup of China’s next-generation stealth fighter jet appeared online in September, Schuster told CNN that “given the carrier’s location and likelihood of deck operations being photographed or videoed, the PLA [Navy] may see value in inciting speculation about the Fujian’s future air wing,” just to give adversaries something to think about.
The original article contains 759 words, the summary contains 235 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
"Stop revealing our troop movements!"
Ha. Who would have thought that glorifying your army in propaganda would result in fanboys that like to track what it looks like, military hardware and such

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
