Una risposta molto costruttiva, che ha portato beneficio alla discussione.
Complimenti, non hai deluso le mie aspettative.
Resto fiducioso nelle potenzialità del forum (leggi il messaggio tra le righe?)
Aspettando le inevitabili conclusioni dell' evoluzione umana resto in attesa!

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we have some great in game screenshots of our Normandy landing craft and a beautiful French Chateau, but first we would like to show a render of the new American M10 Tank Destroyer.
The M10 was modeled and skinned by Agus.

US tank and anti-tank doctrine in World War 2 called for two separate classes of armoured vehicles; slow tanks to support the infantry (such as the Sherman) and quick tank destroyers to take on the enemy tanks (such as the M10). The M10 was in this respect not a very good design. Its 3 inch (76.2mm) gun was only a bit better than that of the Sherman and while significantly faster, not manouvrable enough to function in its intended role. When first used in combat during Operation Torch it proved to be an adequate measure against most German tanks, but against the Tigers and Panthers in Normandy it had little success.
Next up are some in game screenshots of the 2 infantry landing craft you will be seeing on our Normandy beach maps. The LCA was made by Toddel and coded by ctz, the LCVP was made by Remdul and coded by Gunnie.

Finally we have this beautiful French chateau, made by Toddel.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week we have some news regarding the upcoming 2.15 patch and some in game screenshots of a car you might remember from Forgotten Hope 0.7.
First up today we have two screenshots of what our new communications-HUD looks like. Now the HUD itself isn't all that special, but the reason we have a new HUD is. In patch 2.15 Forgotten Hope 2 will be using the voice commands from Forgotten Hope 0.7. This not only means that all the modern military jargon from the Battlefield 2 voices will be gone, but it also means that we will have Italians speaking Italian and even Australians with Australian accents! The converting of the voices and the work on the new HUD was done by ctz.

The other item we have for today's news is the old Opel Coupé you may remember from Forgotten Hope 0.7. The coupé was made by Mange, Rad and Lobo and was converted to Forgotten Hope 2 by ctz.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week we have a render of an American sub machinegun and in game screenshots of an Italian vehicle you might remember from Forgotten Hope 0.7. Finally, we will end today's update with a message from the World At War tournament about the start of their latest compaign.
Before we go on to the pictures we would first like to welcome German Bratwurst to our development team. As a beta tester German Bratwurst has already added many sounds to the current versions of Forgotten Hope 2 and this week we have finally decided to officially add him to our staff list. Welcome!
First up today then is the American M3 sub machinegun, also known as the 'Grease Gun', made by Seth Soldier.

The M3 Grease Gun was, much like the British Sten, designed as a simpler, cheaper replacement for the Thompson sub machinegun. It used the same .45 caliber round as the Thompson, but it could easily be converted to use 9mm rounds, as used in the Sten and MP40. Despite it being cheap to manufacture, it was a generally reliable weapon and thanks to its low rate of fire it was easy to control. The M3 has a rate of fire of 400 rounds per minute, while other sub machineguns had much higher rates. The sten and MP40 have 500 RPM and the M1 Thompson 650 RPM. At the end of World War 2 600,000 Grease Guns (both M3 and M3A1) were made.
Next up is the Italian Sahariana, armed with two Breda 37 machineguns and a 20mm Solothurn 18 anti-tank rifle. This vehicle was modeled for Forgotten Hope 0.7 by Montoya and upgraded to Forgotten Hope 2 standards and coded by Jodonnell, Gunnie, Ctz and Rad. You will be able to find this vehicle on the map Mareth Line in Forgotten Hope 2.15.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. We have gone without updates for a few weeks now, but we are still working hard to finish the third map for our 2.15 patch. Today though, we have some great new renders for you, but first, we would like to welcome the latest addition to our development team. Kev4000 will be helping us by coding vehicles and weapons. Welcome Kev4000!
The first renders we have for today are of a much requested (primarily by one person) piece of German equipment. I am talking of course about the Lafette Tripod for the MG34 and MG42. This tripod was modeled by McGibs and skinned by Toddel.

The Lafette Tripod created a stable platform for the German MG34 and MG42 machineguns. Not only did this tripod take care of much of the recoil, it was also equipped with a scope for extremely accurate and sustained fire. The tripod (including MG42) weighed as much as 32 kilograms and required 3 to 6 people to move and operate. You can find the MG34 tripod on maps in 2.15 and the MG42 version will be available in Normandy.
Today's second render is of the German Nebelwerfer 41, made by K96.

The Nebelwerfer 41 (fog-launcher in English) fired six 150mm rockets, which each carried an explosive charge comparable to the projectiles of the 105mm howitzers of the time. The six rockets were fired in quick succession by the 4 man crew, which had to take cover from the rocket back blast in a small trench further away. Although a very potent weapon, the Nebelwerfer had a big drawback - the rockets it fired left a large smoke trail in the air, which could be visible from miles away. This meant that the Nebelwerfer batteries could only stay in the same place for a short time after firing, before the enemy artillery would have zeroed in on their position. When the rockets were fired they made a howling pipe-organ sound, which led the allied soldiers to nickname them 'screaming mimis'.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we have some more renders of allied equipment used in Normandy.
Firstly, we have the M1A1 Thompson sub-machine gun, made by Remdul and Seth Soldier.

The M1A1 Thompson is quite different from the M1928 Thompson used by the British in North Africa. The newer design moved the charging handle to the side of the weapon, replaced the vertical front grip by a horizontal one, removed the muzzle brake and significantly reduced the rate of fire. These changes made the weapon much more reliable, but also cut its production costs in half. Nearly 1.4 million M1 and M1A1 Thompsons were made during World War 2.
Next up is the PIAT made by Toddel.

As more and more powerful tanks rolled onto the battlefield, the need arose for more powerful anti-tank weapons. Whereas the Americans developed their rocket-launcher the Bazooka and the Germans their recoilless gun the Panzerfaust, the British went in yet another direction. Their PIAT (Projector, Infantry, Anti Tank) launched a HEAT projectile using a spring. This method, unlike the Panzerfaust and Bazooka created no smoke at all, however it had some unique problems of its own. When fired the spring would push forward a heavy 5kg ballast, which would then also ignite a small charge on the projectile, pushing the ballast back and locking it into place again, so the spring would not have to be cocked after firing. This system was quite unreliable and often failed to lock the spring back in place. The operator would then have to cock the PIAT manually, which required a force of 900 Newton. The ballast also made the PIAT very heavy. It was first used in the Sicily campaign and remained the primary portable anti-tank weapon for the British throughout the war.
Finally we have the Bangalore Torpedo, also by Toddel.

The Bangalore Torpedo was invented in 1912 by a British Army Captain in Bangalore, India. In World War 2 the US Army adopted the Bangalore Torpedo and the allied forces used it to great success during D-day. The M1A1 Bangalore Torpedo could be deployed from behind cover. It would be build up by connecting multiple 1.5 metre sections to a length of 15 metres. A complete torpedo could clear a path of barbed wire and mines up to 15 metres long and 1 metre wide. Surprisingly, the Bangalore Torpedo is still in use with the US Army to this day.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today's update shows the render of the Hawker Typhoon and some in game screenshots of our M10 Tank Destroyer. These two allied weapons greatly contributed to the war against the heavy German tanks like the Tiger and Panther.
First up is the render of the Hawker Typhoon, made by Agus.

The Hawker Typhoon was originally intended as a front line fighter, but when compared to the Supermarine Spitfire in 1941 it quickly became apparent that the Typhoon was vastly inferior. It wasn't until 1943 that the Typhoon's problems had been fixed and since the need for a new front line fighter had gone, it was turned into a fighter-bomber. Thanks to its powerful Napier-Sabre engine, the Typhoon could carry up to 1000kg of explosives. In late 1943, the Typhoon was equipped with rockets, 4 under each wing. This rocket variant proved to be highly successful in Normandy. In all, 3300 Typhoons were made during the war.
Next up we have 4 in game screenshots of the M10 Tank Destroyer, modeled and skinned by Agus, exported and coded by Kev4000.

Finally, we have an M10 Wallpaper. Download by right-clicking the link and selecting "Save Link As".

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today, we would like to show some equipment for the US army in Normandy.
The render below shows (from left to right) the D-day "Cricket" clicker, made by Knoffhoff, the AN-M8 smoke grenade, made by Toddel, the M1917 Revolver, made by K96, a set of Composition B explosives, by Seth Soldier and the US Carlisle Dressing, also made by Knoffhoff.

The "Cricket" clicker was a small device given to US paratroopers on D-day, to be used as a means of identification. If you bumped into someone in the dark, you would click your cricket once and if the other person was also a paratrooper he would respond by giving two clicks. The crickets were only used on D-day.
The M1917 Revolver was developed during the First World War to supplement the M1911 Pistol, but although they remained in use during the Second World War and indeed also the Korean War they were generally only issued to secondary troops. About 300,000 of them were produced between 1917 and 1920.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week we have a rather special update, because not only do we have a releasedate for patch 2.15, we also want to show off the last of the 2.15 content you haven't seen yet! Earlier this week we finished our first 2.15 release candidate. Although it did contain some bugs, we are confident we can iron them all out this week and have our long awaited patch ready to be released on...

Friday the 5th of December, 2008 at 1900UTC

The usual passworded torrent and serverfiles will be available on Wednesday the 3rd.
One of the earliest maps planned for the Forgotten Hope 2 North African theater of war was The Fall of Tobruk. A map about the German capture of the city on June 21st, 1942. Many statics were made especially for this map, but unfortunately it could not be finished in time for the 2.0 or the 2.1 release. This week however, the map was finally finished and because it is a map we have all been looking forward to seeing in FH2 for nearly two years, we have made a special teaser trailer to show it off. The Fall of Tobruk was made by Lili Marlene, Fenring and Lobo and the unique statics, which are not used on any other map were made by Toddel, Malsa, Lobo, Smig and Digital Assassin. The Tobruk Teaser Trailer was made by Bob Sacamano.

In 1941 the Australians had held Tobruk for 9 months, until Rommel’s withdrawal to the west. That winter, the Middle East Command in Cairo had decided that without naval support it would be impossible for the Tobruk fortress ever to be held in isolation. At length, a compromise was reached. Tobruk was to be temporarily invested while a new strike force was built up near the frontier. The main part of the garrison was to be formed by the 2nd South African Division. Rommel’s zero hour was 05h20 on 20 June 1942. As the first rays of sunlight began to creep over the desert, the long black lines of tanks, trucks and infantry slowly started to move forward. By dawn on the 21st of June, Tobruk was a pile of ruins.

The Fall of Tobruk is definately the map in Forgotten Hope 2 that has had the most work done on it. As already mentioned above, it was one of the first maps planned for Forgotten Hope 2. The first unique static for this map was added to the build in June 2006. Now, 18 months later, this map has nearly 100 unique statics that were especially made for this map.

There are two more things we would like to show today. The first is the Geballte Ladung, made by Rad and Toddel and the second is another oldie; the Panzer III Ausf. N. This tank was actually the first tank in Forgotten Hope 2, but since we had no maps to put it on in 2.0 it was ignored. Then in 2.1 came the map Mareth Line, where the Panzer III Ausf. N could be used, but unfortunately the code was not up to date. In 2.15, this tank will be protecting the Tiger from enemy infantry on Mareth Line. The Panzer III Ausf. N was made by Rad and re-exported and re-coded by Gunnie.
