Survival Guide
Welcome to WWII Online, we guarantee you will not find another WWII gaming experience quite like this one, but you need to know early on that it's a complex game and will require some initial learning to understand. Our goal is to give you some quick pointers to get you moving fast and become a long lasting member of our community.
We're glad you're here - thanks for playing!
Read the manual - Understand the gameplay
Check the official game manual (work in progress).
This guide focuses on a global introduction to World War II Online and its fundamental game play. It will not provide any instructions on how to use your weapon, nor how to setup battle tactics.
Do the online Basic Training - SERIOUSLY!
Players who follow that initial game training seem to enjoy the game more. This comes as no surprise because you will learn very quickly how to navigate the game world, use the chat and find combat. It is well worth the time!
Try out the controls and units OFFLINE!
Offline mode allows you to play with any unit from any country, and spawn from any place over the map. Press "escape" to drop a "clone" of your unit and practice your shooting! They will remain in position as long as you respawn from the same origin.
Ask Questions (Help Channel)
Even after you complete basic training there's going to be a lot to learn. We've created a default channel when you login to the game called, "HELP." Players help players around the clock. To type on the help channel:
Press [F6] "type your message" then press [ENTER]
Join a Squad - Learn Faster!
Get into a squad as soon as possible. Meet community members who want to see you succeed and stick around. There's so much depth to the game we couldn't create a guide big enough to teach it all. Our veteran players are always looking to help a communicative new player.
Squad recruitment forums located here.
Get on Voice Comms! (Discord)
Instant battle comms means greater coordination, teamwork and kill counts. We guarantee you will experience the epicness of WWII Online! We're now on Discord voice, join now - information is located here.
