Existing and new equipment is being developed to the new Unreal Engine 5. The following models are 100% in-game, UE5 compliant, and ready to roll into 2.0. New trucks, anti-tank guns, and anti-aircraft guns with more UE5 models coming.

Check out these NEW UE5 models that are IN-GAME now!
















Coming Soon: Tanks Towing Guns!

For a long time, we have been requested to add the ability for Tanks to tow light-medium Anti-Aircraft and Anti-Tank guns. We're pleased to let you know our team is now finalizing the work to roll this out around the 2024 holiday.

This should dramatically increase the modularity of our game enabling new opportunities for teamwork and increasing towing of friendly guns to the frontline.


The size of the gun you can tow is dependent on the overall size of your tank. Smaller tanks for example can only tow small guns, and heavier tanks can tow medium guns.


Heavy guns cannot be towed by any tanks; rather, they will continue to be towed by Heavy Haulers like they currently do today.

Recent efforts from CRS to help increase awareness to WWII Online are growing, site traffic has increased 10% (and growing) and more people are learning about the game than ever before. With welcome back soldier hitting and as we prepare for our yearly big holiday patch, it's sure to be a really great season for the game!

We've also protected Free Player supply which has seen an increase in retention and boosted rifleman supply by 20% to encourage additional playtime. We will monitor supply closely and avoid making too many drastic changes during this WBS event.
