Have you been enjoying War Thunder: Drone Age so far? The new features are definitely appealing, especially the introduction of UAVs into the game. However, developer Gaijin Entertainment found some bugs that need fixing, and that’s why the company launched Update 2.19.0.40 recently.
Most of the jet planes in War Thunder are equipped with drag chutes that automatically deploy once you’ve landed on the airstrip. These things help decelerate the aircraft while braking, making it easier for you to stop the plane where it needs to be.
However, there was a bug that caused the drag chutes to not deploy automatically. This required you to manually press the appropriate hotkey for the chutes to come out, which was not the intended design.
The good news is that Gaijin Entertainment is on top of the situation and implemented a bug fix in the latest patch.
Now, airfields in the Enduring Confrontation (EC) game mode are equipped with anti-air guns. If you frequently play EC, take note that the effectiveness of the anti-air weapons has increased in this update. So, you may want to be extra careful the next time you try to take the enemy down on their home turf.
