WWII Online

WWII Online is a persistent, player-driven World War II campaign fought across a 300,000 km² battlefield. You serve in Army, Air or Naval roles, earn Victory Points (VP) and rank, and unlock more units. The war does not reset: players decide attacks, defenses and overall strategy, and your actions have lasting effects.

The campaign

The war progresses chronologically through tiers T0 to T3, introducing new historically accurate equipment. You can join a Squad to coordinate operations on the frontline, or serve in High Command to lead, plan offensives and manage the front. Squads use Integrated Voice Comms (IVC) to coordinate maneuvers, including tank crews calling fire, pilots warning of enemies and leaders ordering flanks. Teams can deploy Mobile Spawn Points (MSPs) and deliver assets where the fighting is hottest.

The battlefield combines infantry, tanks, aircraft, naval forces and support roles. There is no matchmaking or division into small maps; combat takes place across one enormous, persistent war zone.

Earn and unlock equipment

You earn VP through supportive battlefield actions such as defending capture points, deploying mobile spawns and driving supply trucks. VP can unlock subscription-locked, higher-tier equipment from all periods of the war. If you return the equipment to base with your crew alive and the vehicle in good condition—with no major damage such as broken tank tracks or wings—your VP is returned to your in-game wallet.

Simulation and damage

WWII Online is a serious simulation rather than an arcade shooter, with detailed damage models and historically accurate ballistics, vehicle performance and long-range engagements. Each shot is calculated for factors including angle, speed, armor penetration and damage to internal components, so knowledge, skill and strategic positioning can help you avoid a disabling hit.

The game launched in 2001 and has set three Guinness World Records for scale, authenticity and player-driven combat. Its major features, vehicles and technical overhauls are delivered to all players at no extra cost.
