Readme: Version 1.39.0.1 (UI cleanup)
Thanks to ongoing reporting from players and a fairly rapid turn around from our team, we've been able to assemble this hotfix fairly quickly. We didn't anticipate the size of it getting like this, but it could easily be considered its own release. We hope you enjoy and it should improve overall quality of life of playing each day.

Readme: 1.38.2.0
Spawn camping has been a long-standing issue in WWII Online, creating frustration and driving players away.
