Readme: Version 1.39.2.0 (2026 Roadmap Completed)

We've completed WWII Online's 2026 roadmap with time to spare, thanks to your ongoing support! Being a subscriber is the number one way to help improve the game and ensure its ongoing development.

For voice comms, remember you can .ignore a user if you do not wish to hear them speak.

To our air boys, we hope the air-to-air kill scoring is a solid salute for your efforts and we hope it fosters growth in our pilots ranks, rewarding your for outstanding airmanship.

To use the new Armored Cars, you must subscribe to become a Hero Builder (learn more about the Hero program here). These units were selected for the Hero Builder subscription to incentivize growth and retention there, as they do the most financially to help our project. Thanks to all of our existing builders, and we look forward to the new ones joining!

Special thanks to all of our team members, and all players who participated in Open Beta to help us test and validate this. It's a big one! Please continue reading below to see the full readme notes.
