Introducing WWII Online Version 1.37.4.0 which is being released at 6PM PST 7/31/23. It's the first visible progress now being made which demonstrates our 3D model futureproofing by replacing legacy artwork and building for WWII Online 2.0. It also adds an initial (work in progress) Ricochet effect back to WWII Online after almost two decades - and yes, those ricochet rounds can kill. Aircraft will now get an enemy aircraft warning, similar to boats. Additionally, all trucks now have a horn sound effect, just click your LMB or primary attack button on your joystick. There are new towns, lots of fixes and some RDP relocations. Your subscriptions are making it possible for us to continue development, and all of us at Playnet/CRS thank you. More screenshots inside, please enjoy, S!
