This seems like the last round of testing before deploying officially version 1.23 for WWII Online. This patch will introduce a spawn delay to balance the sides better, improved graphical model for infantry, Unmanned Mobile Spawns, persisten smoke granades (don't ask me) and more. Here are the full notes:

=====================
World War Two Online
=====================
Version 1.23.0.11 (4-28-06)

Changes from 1.32.0.10 Closed Beta:
- Fixed remaining critical issues for infantry redo
- Bore sighted all weapons (ready for testing)
- Disabled ads from culling during water reflection draws
- Fixed recursive STO smoke grenades launched from 3rd person
- Fixed infinite smoke grenade sound 'fizz' bug
- Fixed a long standing bug where short bursts of fire might not be heard over long distance
- Fixed a bug that prevented Firefox from launching the game via the Blitz beta launch URL (closed beta only issue)
- changed the spawn delay to be a front-end timer instead of a backend timer; now starts counting down as soon as you enter a mission or despawn
- dropped the spawn delay popup; the ENTER WORLD button is now disabled with the spawn delay timer in it if there is a delay
- added new translations:

mission.forward.delayed
mission.forward.delayed.tip

Side Balance:
- In addition to being notified of side balance at persona selection players may now receive a spawn delay based on the difference of the number of players active in the game world at spawn in
- When the population reaches an unacceptable imbalance the players on the over populated side will receive a time delay before they are able to spawn into the game world again
- This delay is dynamic and works to keep the number of players in the game world to be within an acceptable ratio
- This delay increases and decreases as player populations change
- The delay starts immediately on despawn

Vehicles:
- Increased the range for Destroyer main guns

- Added the ability for players to select to leave a deployed mobile spawn truck in the game world upon despawn
- UMS will not be removed when another player tries to deploy a MS
- Mission leaders may remove UMS by selecting it on the map
- Players do not receive score for mobile spawning if the mobile spawn is unmanned
- UMS are not allowed on bridges

- When multicrewing, the host will give both players the lowest vis level requested by either player
- Improved biasing system to try to reduce blinking
