Hachja wie süß, die Faustmatrone ist auch fertig. Bin gespannt wie oft die an den feindlichen Panzern abprallt, ohne Schaden anzurichten.

Eine Panzerfaust prallt nicht ab

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we are showing off some more of the equipment that you'll be able to use as a Soviet infantryman, the M1940 Knife and the POMZ-2 anti-personnel mine.



The POMZ-2 is a very simple stake mounted fragmentation mine, typically triggered by a tripwire. It consisted of a cast iron body containing 75g of TNT, with a hole at one end for the fuse, and provision for a wooden stake at the other. The fragments could be lethal up to tens of meters away, but were usually quite unevenly spaced and a more conservative lethal range was about 4 meters. Copies of this mine are still found in use today.

The Winter War had demonstrated to the Red Army both that they lacked an effective fighting knife, and that the Finnish Puukko was very effective in this role. The design of the M1940 or NR-40 took the Puukko and modified it to make it a more suitable fighting weapon. The cross piece is curved in the opposite direction to a more standard knife, since it was designed be held with the blade facing in. Both the M1940 and the POMZ-2 were made by Seth Soldier.

Ich sage dir ja. Woher ich das weiß? Gar nicht. Aber du hast mich gequotet und daher muss ich antworten.

Nur leider gibt es solche Geschichten auch noch heute...

Überlegt euch mal wie diese Mine aussieht, wenn man sie, wie auch schon die vorhandenen Minen, einfach an/in eine Wand klatscht

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we are showing off two renders of a couple of German last-ditch weapons designed when the Red Army was knocking on the door of Berlin.

The Volkssturm (People's Storm) had been formed in October 1944 from half a million men too old or young to have been conscripted into the regular Heer. However, there were not enough regular weapons left to arm even the Army, let alone the Volkssturm. A series of cheap and primitive rifles were designed to arm the militia, and the most advanced of these was the Volkssturmgewehr made by Gustloff.



It used the same kurz ammunition and 30 round magazines as the StG 44, and was made from as few parts as possible. There were only 39 metal parts and 21 of these could be stamped. It operated by gas-delayed blowback, and similarly to many pistols the whole slide assembly surrounding the barrel recoils with each shot. Between January and May 1945, approximately 10000 were made and issued.



Perhaps the simplest of the primitive weapons was the Steyr VG5, also known as the Volkssturmkarabiner K98. It was assembled from a mixture of rejected receivers and shot out rifle barrels. Like all the Volkssturmgewers, it had fixed sights set for 100m. Unlike the other rifles, this one had no magazine and had to be reloaded after each shot. Both our Volkssturm rifles were made by Seth Soldier.

Volkssturmgewehr 45 ist aber nicht die StG / MP 45 oder ?

[Ts4EVER 117]

Nein, das StG45 war als Ersatz für das StG44 geplant. Das Volkssturmgewehr war eine Billigwaffe und alte Männer und 16 Jährige auszurüsten.

Also die Textur vom VK98 Lauf gefällt mir überhaupt nicht. Wirkt so nach Gusseisen.

Auf dem oberen Bild ist es aber ok, nur unten der Lauf, sieht Ingame sicherlich anders aus.

[Ts4EVER 117]

Kann auch sein dass es so aussieht weil die Läufe die für das Gewehr benutzt wurden aus anderen Gewehren stammten und schon ausgeschossen waren.

Die beiden Waffen kannte ich ja noch gar nicht.
