"Moreover, if leaking the manual really puts the lifes of the crew at risk, would not leaking also put lifes at risk, i.e. the one of the people fighting the tanks?"
Thats the point. No military is interested in making it easier for its enemies to fight you.
And with irregular conflicts, you cannot assume everyone knows everything anyway. If you would have to fight this tank for real, don't you think, you want any information possible? Weak spots, sensors,.. or even getting enough knowledge to take over the tank. Military secrets have their reason, no matter how you judge the stance of said military.
- rhn_mk1 5y ago>No military is interested in making it easier for its enemies to fight you. Is this game made by the military?
- thioordc 5y agoI could be wrong but I don’t think Gaijin was created or contracted by the military to make the game.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI dunno, in effect it's military propaganda. I know the game America's Army was funded and promoted by the US army at the time.
- stayfrosty420 5y agoI think there is probably a genuine desire for people to play a realistic game w here you're in large, heavily armoured weapons of war. The game in question has tanks from almost every nation that has ever produced tanks, so I'd wager it's either a consequence of propaganda rather than propaganda for military per se.
- Bayart 5y agoI think it's the other way around : due to past propaganda, Russians really like tanks. As a result, tank games come from Russia.
