It's patch day here at WWII Online - w00t! Introducing a big roadmap delivery Motorized Mortar Carriers, 25 new towns, new PPOs, and several features and bug fixes! Mortar Carriers are capable of firing up to 2,000-3,000m with indirect fire (smoke + HE rounds) and their commander is equipped with a range finder. Current light mortars ingame are 50mm (compared to the new 81mm) and only have a range of 500m (compared to 2-3k). Work together, get forward observers and if mortars are your thing - this is the biggest mortar implementation (self-propelled even) that we have ever done for WWII Online! All coming to WWII Online tonight at 6PM Server Time (GMT -8), or 8PM Central, 9PM Eastern.
