About the Wfr.Gr.21 (wikipedia) :

Design and capabilities

21 cm Wurfgranate 42.

Modified from the 21 cm Nebelwerfer 42 infantry barrage rocket projectile and reconfigured for air-launch, the spin-stabilised rocket was propelled by 18.4 kilograms (41 lb) diglycol solid fuel, and the warhead weighed 40.8 kilograms (90 lb). The Wfr. Gr. 21’s projectile had a velocity of 320 metres (350 yd) per second (1,150 km/h, 716 mph) and a maximum range of 1,200 metres (1,300 yd). The rocket and tube weighed some 112 kilograms (247 lb) in total. A time fuse detonated the warhead at a pre-set distance of 600 metres (2,000 ft) to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) from launch point, resulting in a lethal blast area approximately 30 metres (98 ft) wide.

Why now the 21 cm Wurfgranate 42 can be used only with impact fuse?
I doubt the 21 cm Wurfgranate 42 fired from planes were even used to attack ground targets.

Jokes aside, you will need more reliable and acceptable sources to report something like that.

If you find acceptable sources then you can report it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)

A guide on how to report can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

I thought even a kind know how the air deployed Wurfgranate worked. They were used against bomber formations.

There are many instances of unguided rockets with only contact fuses being used against bombers since bombers IRL are so slow and big. It doesn’t automatically mean they had a specific type of fuse.

The R4M was with impact fuse and was used like a canon fired minengeschoss.

You have more chance to get the is-7 than direct hitting a bomber with the wurfgranate.

In the wiki there are references and links.

I wonder what are the sources Gaijin used to make the changes?

Then double check those sources so that they actually say what the wiki says they do (i’ve had several times where the source doesn’t mention the thing listed on the wiki). If the sources have the information needed then use those sources to create a report.
