With open beta testing underway since late December, v1.28 is closing in on a public release.
"We'd love to have some additional testing from players focused on recent changes to the AWS (radar) feature", says WWIIOL Senior Producer Dana 'GOPHUR' Baldwin. "We've made several changes to the reporting function based on feedback from testing and we'd love more people to go into the open Beta and have a look."
The list of new features and upgrades included in 1.28 is lengthy. Some of the higher profile ones are:
*
Vehicle Marking- ground and air vehicles now have historical looking markings.
*
Air Warning System (Radar)- designed to simulate the various forms of
intelligence one might receive over the radio while in flight.
*
Airborne Infantry- paratroopers now have several loadouts available to them.
*
Depot Spawning- trucks and limited guns may now spawn from depots
*
Resupply- naval units may be resupplied when stationary within 1000m of a friendly naval facility. Air units may be resupplied when stationary within 500m of a friendly air field.
*
Performance- new code related to methods for loading/unloading terrain, terrain objects and vehicles should result in measurable performance increases- more so for those using mid to lower spec machines.
