    At this point we’re all assuming Warframe is an intelligence honeypot, right?

    It’s bafflingly hilarious how effective it is at that

    Edit: War Thunder not Warframe 🤦‍♂️

      Well, Warframes are killer space ninjas. A number of missions they do does indeed involve the gathering of intelligence, such as Spy, mobile defence, or Capture missions.

      This can be considered normal, as the usual role for a ninja is intelligence gathering, with such things as assassination and murder usually being rare objectives. However, since Warframes are from the distant future, and have some pretty insane powers, it’s easy to assume the role of ninja has expanded somewhat.

      Such as into fashion… Or looking practically naked.

        They’re… not really very good ninjas. Only a few frames are really focused on stealth, and they’re meant to be used for covert assassinations. Most are meant for… nuking entire maps in a few minutes.

      I mean, the leaks themselves don’t seem to care about nationality, we’ve had leaks from American, Italian, Chinese, Russian, British and French vehicles. Never underestimate the lengths a military nerd will go to win an argument…

    AV8s are pretty old. The US retired them in the early 2000s. NATOPs manuals explain how to fly the plane, like what button controls what. I’ve never been on the war thunder forums, but whatever argument that triggered this upload was probably over something really dumb. Like what button controls the windshield wipers or something.

      IIRC it was basically “the Harrier behaves too fat”, not as much maneuverability as in reality.
