But the English servers need custom models to keep their players interested. Eventually 0.3.7 and DL will be merged in to a single version. It has to wait until most servers and players are comfortable with the feature though.

What about custom weapons and synced vehicle variants?

The only problem a server I am System Admin / Developer of has with swapping to DL is that players do not want to use a 3rd party launcher to patch their game version up to 0.3DL, or deal with the annoyances of constantly swapping between versions to join different servers, something I believe a merge would solve.

It seems counter-intuitive to have two "live" versions that players can pick between if they realistically should be merged anyway and is just a deterrent more than anything having them be separate still.
