War Thunder developer Gaijin Entertainment has issued an apology after mistakenly using an image of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in promotional art for the game. The explosion, a tragic incident from 1986, was inadvertently included in a reference pack used by the artists, leading to its use in War Thunder's key art. Gaijin has committed to altering the artwork and taking measures to prevent such errors in the future. This incident adds to a history of controversies surrounding War Thunder, including leaks of real military documents on its forums.

What measures will Gaijin take to prevent such errors in the future?n

Gaijin Entertainment has not specified the exact measures they will implement to prevent similar mistakes from happening again. They have only mentioned that they will alter the current artwork and ensure that such errors do not repeat in the future.

War Thunder, a popular multiplayer game set during World War II, has often found itself at the center of controversy. Previously, there were instances where users posted sensitive military documents related to various military vehicles such as the M2A2 Bradley, DTC10-125 Tungsten Penetrator, British Challenger 2, and French Leclerc main battle tanks on the game's forums. Despite these controversies, the game continues to draw a dedicated player base with its realistic combat simulation across land, air, and sea.
