World War II Online: Version 1.37.14.0 - July 2025


WWII Online continues to evolve. The latest updates include significant improvements to how high explosive (HE) shells function within the game. For the first time in over 15 years, HE shrapnel penetration has been reactivated. Bombs now inflict devastating impacts on armor due to concussive damage. This update also focuses on enhancing the quality of life and overall user experience in the game. Your support makes these improvements possible. You can help continue development by subscribing and supporting the Rats at Account Support.
