CRS 2018 Roadmap
With a new year comes new challenges and new triumphs for the Rats. Look for the big announcement, this coming Friday, 19 January, when the Rats share their plans for this coming year. The 2018 Dev Roadmap promises new and exciting developments as the team expands their capabilities and takes the game to new levels. Watch the Headquarters News Feed forum, the Steam Community page, or the Facebook page for the big reveal!

From the Front
It's the 11th full day of Campaign 150. This campaign marks a milestone as the game heads onward to the big bicentennial campaign, number 200. CRS would again like to salute all the pre-release game testers, the "day one" vets, and all the early players. How many of you thought you would still be around, playing this game almost seventeen years later?
Speaking of the campaign, this one is turning into a slugfest and has all the earmarks of becoming a classic. At the time of writing, the map is almost dead even (Allied 48% and Axis 52%), but the Axis has been making a huge push westward and has all the captures in the past 24 hours. The Axis has won the last three maps, can they make it four? Soldiers on both sides are encouraged to put down their TV remotes and take up arms.

New Player Tip #1
To all our new and newer players, if you're not using Discord, sign up here https://www.wwiionline.com/resources#voice-comms Get on the voice channels and find some guys to run a few missions with. Learn from veteran players. When you find a group of guys you feel you fit in with, ask to join their squad. All the squads ingame love to help new players and welcome new members. If you're not playing as part of a team, you're missing out on one of the best parts of WWII Online.

How to Fly Planes
Rebel357 has taken note of the issues new pilots are having getting into the air and has taken it upon himself to record some tips and tricks for getting into the air on his YouTube channel. If you're a new pilot or were just thinking of being one, this is great information for you. You can go right to his YouTube channel, here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9xq58qZ-jovnXIJ9VgApBQ
