Readme: version 1.37.14.0 - Improved HE Round & Bomb Blast Damage

[p][/p][p]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.

Once the Open Beta has concluded and items are fully verified, this update will be made available on the live campaign server. That timeline is dependent on verification, but the goal is deploy this update in July 2025. [/p][p]
