1.37.14: RETURN OF SHRAPNEL & BLAST

World War II Online

Version 1.37.14.0 - July 2025


WWII Online receives a major pass on the way HE works in our game (with more work intended), from HE shrapnel penetration being reactivated for the first time in 15+ years, to bombs having devastating impact against armor via concussive damage. Improving the quality of life and general user experience of the game is also reflected in a series of fixes outlined in this release. Your support makes this possible.
