In Development: "Deuce and a Half"
Great news for the U.S. Forces, the "Deuce and a Half" (US GMC CCKW 2.5 TONNER) is officially in development! Today we're going to share with you the current progress as well as some in-game screenshots.
The Deuce and a Half is one of the most iconic military trucks of all time, and it is an absolute joy to drive ingame! The Allied forces are going to be really thrilled with acceleration, sustained speed, and handling. It'll be able to carry both troops and all gun types. Of course, it'll be able to deploy mobile spawns and ammo cache's like all other trucks.
Pictured here is a simulation of U.S. Troops loading up from the barracks. Notice the "lift gate" being down on the trucks.
Some higher resolution textures being used on the internal components.

The next in our series of special events is Operation Squeeze Play which will be held this Sunday 11/29 starting at 11:00 AM server time. The event will run for 4 hours on the Training Server during which time the campaign will be locked. This event focuses land sea and air battles in the Netherlands in early 1944. Also, both the Allied and Axis High Commands are recruiting new members!
Operation Squeeze Play
Join us for another special event! This operation will begin in the Rotterdam area of the map using Tier 4 equipment. There will be a mix of British, French and US supply in the area but it will be primarily US ground forces simulating the early arrival of the Allies into the Netherlands in early 1944. CRS will be keeping score of captures as each side earns victory points for capping CP's, AB's, AF's and docks. At the end of the event a side winner will be announced in the forums.
We hope you can make time for some or all of the event! Past experience predicts we will have some intense battles and fun special operations. Join the Rats and the High Commands as we take a few hours out of the campaign to showcase the best of our game!
Recognizing the Passing of Saratoga
Prior to the start of the event (11:05 AM server time) we will gather at a deep water port town (on the Training server) for a 10 minute ceremony and DD gun salute in memoriam of Saratoga a day 1 player and supporter of wwiionline. Polish up your brass and shine those medals and let's look sharp!
Recruiting for both High Commands
Both the Allied and Axis High Commands are recruiting new volunteers. We have a dedicated Training Corps standing by to train new HC applicants or provide a refresher course for returning HC. With less movable units on the map and garrison supply in every town, the HC duties have never been easier. That said, the game thrives on High Command participation and leadership plus it's a great opportunity to see a different side of the game from a unique perspective. If your interested in trying HC for the first time or your a returning HC officer, apply here:
