Ah Dr. Stoll, das kommt mir doch bekannt vor. Waren paar tolle Schlachten in den letzten Tagen

 

Btw: muss man die Karten neu laden, sind da noch Sachen geändert worden?

 

 

Hat jemand ne Ahnung wie das mit diesem Torrent funktioniert. Ich wollte es mit Winrar öffnen aber da geht nichts.

 

Wieso haben die nicht einfach ein Patch gemacht, wäre viel benutzerfreundlicher.

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Before we begin, the whole team would like to thank our fans for all their support, and to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year!



This time hiding away under the tree, is a render of a vehicle that brought destruction from the sky. The Junkers Ju 87 G-1, also know as the Kanonenvogel.



The large numbers of Soviet tanks that had shown up on the Eastern Front had lead to the requirement for dedicated antitank aircraft. The first such design was the Henschal Hs 129, but while it proved a potent weapon, it had large and vulnerable fuel tanks and a replacement was requested.

It was decided to further develop the Ju 87, arming it with 30mm cannon and providing more armour. The Stuka ace Hans-Ulrich Rudel had had some success at killing Soviet tanks with 20mm cannon, and suggested using two 37mm Flak 18 guns in external pods as a primary armament. First flown in January 1943 on a converted D-1, the Bordkanone BK 3,7 would prove to be a lethal tank killer in the hands of Rudel and other Stuka aces.

Our Kanonenvogel (cannon bird) was made by K98, AceS and Herc.

Bisher war es für mich immer sehr spannend, mit der Hurricane D auf Panzerjagd zu gehen. Die Stuka bietet hier eine sehr interessante Alternative. Wie viel Salven der Bordkanonen wird man wohl brauchen, um einen T-34 zum Beispiel seitlich zu zerstören? Leichte Panzer sollten wohl schon nach einer Salve genug haben, und die schweren halten sicher viel aus.

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we'd like to make a short announcement. This coming Sunday, there will be a live stream in which Ts4EVER and FatJoe will show off one of our as yet unannounced new maps. There will be some discussion of map design, historical info and maybe a sneak peek of some new equipment. The map is set somewhere and somewhen on the Western Front.

The stream will be hosted on FatJoe's Twitch channel on:

 

Sunday 11th January 2015 @ 18:00 UTC

 

We hope that you can watch it all live with us, but if not you will be able to watch it afterwards on Twitch.

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we have a couple of renders showcasing some equipment that you will be able to find on our upcoming map Pegasus, as well as an announcement from the guys over at Forgotten Honor. You might perhaps have seen them in the stream, which is available on Youtube. They are of course the Sten Mk.V and the SOMUA S35.

Although French military thinking called for a defensive war, they recognised the need to be able to fight on the offensive as well. This job fell to the Cavalry, who in 1931 placed a request for a fast tank. By 1934, the request had been updated to be immune from contemporary anti tank guns. The Société d'Outillage Mécanique et d'Usinage d'Artillerie, or SOMUA for short, produced a series of prototypes in 1935, with an order for 50 following the next year.

The tank was one of the first to make use of large cast sections for the hull, and was also fitted with the cast APX-1 turret from the Infantry's Char B1. The 47mm SA35 gun was more than able to defeat the PzIII and BT-7, and these contemporaries couldn't hope to harm the S35 in return. There were however several problems with the S35 that stopped it from being a war winner. It was expensive and time consuming to make, it had poor mechanical reliability, and the turret was both single manned and had no openable cupola, forcing the overworked commander to fight buttoned up.

After the fall of France, about 100 S35 tanks were in Vichy hands while nearly 300 were captured by the Germans. Many of these captured tanks were put into service as Pz 35-S 739(f), where they served in Finland, Yugoslavia and a few were to be found in Normandy. Although hopelessly outclassed by 1945, 12 were still in use at the start of the year. The S35 was made by Seth Soldier, and was repainted for German use by Gurdy.

The Mk.V version of the Sten was little more than a better quality Mk.II with some cosmetic additions. A wooden stock and pistol grip replaced the steel skeleton stock, new front sights taken from the No.4 rifle were added and a rather flimsy wooden front handhold was clipped to the barrel shroud. Our Sten Mk.V was made by KittyThePwner, who modified the original Mk.II model made by Hail of Nails and Seth Soldier.
