NEW: EARN VICTORY POINTS & UNLOCK PREMIUM GEAR FREE!
Victory Points are WWII Online’s unique progression currency for Free Players, earned naturally through meaningful battlefield actions—defending capture points, deploying mobile spawns, resupplying teammates, and more. As you play, you accumulate VP that can be spent to unlock a wide variety of infantry, vehicles, aircraft, and naval units, provided you have the required rank and supply is available.
Smart play is rewarded: returning your unit safely to base refunds the VP you spent, and choosing to fight for the underpopulated side gives you discounted VP costs—helping the underdogs while stretching your VP budget further.
This system provides a fair and rewarding path to advanced equipment without requiring upfront purchases, ensuring that skill and contribution—not spending—drive progression. Players who subscribe still enjoy the most convenient, grind-free access to top-tier units with no limits to worry about, but Victory Points ensure every player has a clear, rewarding way to expand their arsenal through gameplay alone.
The image above reflects what you will see ingame as you go to select your weapon. At first only a few items will appear available, but as you earn points and rank, more options will become available. Play more, earn more.

Engage in immersive combined arms PvP combat with seamless communication between Army, Air Force, and Naval units. The outcome of battles is shaped by the collaboration of players. There are no limitations on the number of players who can participate in a single battlespace.
SERIOUS HISTORICAL ACCURACY
Experience true authenticity with weapons, vehicles, munitions, and ordnance that perform according to realistic values. Achieved through access to historical archives and the expertise of military professionals, our advanced proprietary game engine offers unparalleled depth. From tank and aircraft armor to internal components, every detail is meticulously modeled down to the millimeter.
HIGHLY DETAILED DAMAGE MODELS
Our damage models provide extreme detail, allowing for the destruction of individual components in vehicles, including crew, weapon storage, and gas tanks. This is not merely a hitbox system. Every shot fired triggers multiple calculations that determine the consequences of the round impact, such as the angle of obliquity, round speed, armor thickness, internal spall, armor penetration, and damaged tank parts. A well-placed shot can instantly eliminate or disable your enemy.
Combat Realism
Combat Realism Realism is taken to a new level - this isn’t another arcade-style WWII shooter! Our weapons and vehicles are modeled utilizing historical data after hundreds of hours of research.
The game’s designers came to WWII Online from award-winning MMO combat flight simulation titles and have carried over a dedication to realism and simulation-style gameplay whenever possible.
Simulation
A proprietary physics engine powers an advanced, component-based damage model for vehicles that simulates the actual components found in WWII units. Additionally, we accurately model armor thickness down to the millimeter and flight models for aircraft down to every surface and control for a true-to-life simulation. Even the ballistics are precisely and accurately modeled for each type of bullet or round in the game.
All of these elements provide realism, creating a skill-based simulation where players must learn to properly employ the weapons and equipment available.
The video below helps explain damage and ballistics modeling in the game and gives you a taste of the simulation-style gaming experience in WWII Online.
