In a move I wasn't expecting, Gaijin have decided to add drones to War Thunder! We will be receiving 3 strike drones, the MQ-1 Predator, the Wing Loong 1 and the Orion, plus potentially an indeterminate amount of scout drones.
In this video I have a look at the new devblog as well as some analysis of the trailer that was released yesterday for the new update, named as "Drone Age".
