Readme: 1.38.2.0
Spawn camping has been a long-standing issue in WWII Online, creating frustration and driving players away. This update represents our strongest effort yet to address it, introducing brief spawn-in protection that gives players time to take cover, despawn, or engage the threat. Truck drivers now have full mobile spawn deployment across all trucks, haulers, and SPAAs, helping keep battles active and moving forward, including more features and bug fixes.
