This player claims to have a ridiculous level of experience, ``having experience piloting tanks and armored fighting vehicles, serving as the commander of the Challenger 2, being an armored fighting vehicle piloting and gunnery instructor, and a former member of the Armored Test and Development Unit.'' . Many parts of the AESP capture image posted by the player were painted black and had the label 'UK RESTRICTED' written on it, but a double strikethrough was drawn over it. It was stamped with the word 'UNCLASSIFIED'.

The image was quickly removed from the official forum, and the thread in question was also frozen.

'You may be attacked,' he warned players.
Additionally, the moderator added, ``Before we have a discussion, we need to prove that this document has been declassified, and we need to know where it came from. If it has been declassified, It should be publicly available. The AESP in question was marked as 'unclassified' and was shared, but when we contacted the British military, we found out that it was in fact still classified and should not be shared. We can confirm that it was. We will never treat any source of information unless it is publicly available, fully declassified, and we have the right to prove it.' We announced that we will not use any AESP.
