* The number of players who get kills through ramming is ridiculous enough that there are achievements for killing enemy vehicles through ramming. Now comes in both aviation and maritime flavors, as a recently-added Steam achievement commemorates players who destroy 10 enemy ships by ramming them.
* War Thunder's forum gaining notoriety from players leaking classified information to prove a point about the minutiae of military hardware as portrayed in-game. Some well-known examples include:
** In July 2021, someone claiming to be a Challenger 2 tank commander ''[[SeriousBusiness leaked classified documents listing the tank's specifications just so Gaijin can make the tank closer to reality]]''.
** A few months later, someone claiming to be a [[UsefulNotes/GaulsWithGrenades Leclerc crewman]] [[https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/classified-tank-specs-leaked-on-war-thunder-game-forums-again/ decided to do the same with their own tank]].
** Less than a year later, a [[UsefulNotes/ChineseWithChopperSupport People's Liberation Army]] Tanker [[https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/classified-specs-leaked-on-war-thunder-forum-for-third-time/ pulled the exact same stunt]].
** Then restricted documents about the F-16 [[https://www.pcgamer.com/more-restricted-military-intel-ends-up-on-the-war-thunder-forums/ found their way to the forums]] in January 2023.
** Right after the F-16 leak, restricted documents about the F-15E [[https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/two-days-two-leaks-sensitive-f-15-data-posted-by-war-thunder-fan were also leaked]].
** Fans have also claimed there have been leaks in the past on the Challenger 2 (separate from the July 2021 incident), Eurocopter Tiger, and another Chinese tank round.
