Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. We are finally back with new content to show off, and today we have some brand new wheeled vehicles for your viewing pleasure. We also have an announcement regarding the new FH1 Forgotten Honor campaign.
First up we have the Citroen 11CV civilian car. The Citroen Traction Avant as it was also called, was a four-wheel luxury car produced by the French manufacturer, Citroen. A staggering 760,000 were produced from 1934 to 1957. Innovative for its time, the Citroen 11cv boasted an advanced suspension and the first front wheel drive for a car sold on the European mass car market.

Due to the lightweight design of the car, it was able to reach speeds of 62 mph (100 km/h). During World War II, it was especially popular with many organizations, most notably the French Army, the Gestapo, and the Wehrmacht. Players will be able to find the Cirtoen 11cv with both the civilian and Germany Army paint jobs. It was modeled and skined by Herc.
Next on the list is another wheeled vehicle, however this one was specific only to the German forces during World War II. May we present the German Sd.Kfz. 231. The 231 was an 8-wheeled armored car that first saw action during the invasion of Poland and the Battle of France. They also saw combat later on in the Eastern Front and in North Africa, however the extreme conditions of both locations proved too severe for the vehicle.

The Sd.Kfz. 231 was armed with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 gun and an additional MG34 machine gun. With 8-15mm of armor, this armored car could travel at speeds up to 53 mph (85 km/h). The Sd.Kfz. 231 was modeled and skinned by Toddel.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today's update contains some Luftwaffe themed renders, including one very odd hand-weapon. We also have an announcement regarding the official FH2 Youtube page.

Up first, we have a brand new hand-weapon in the event you find yourself floating over the desert terrain. The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling was a hybrid weapon issued to German pilots in case they were ever shot down. Over 2,000 were produced by JP Sauer (also created the Sauer Pistole 38H) starting in 1941, and it featured two 12 guage shotgun barrels and a single rifle barrel. The weapon was intended to be used as a survival weapon, allowing the pilot to have some form of self-defense, and hunt game until they could be rescued. The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling was modeled and textured by Seth Soldier.

However, what good would a survival weapon do if pilots had no plane to fly in the first place? Next up we have a new plane for the desert, the Bf 109 F-4 Trop. This new variant included many upgrades from the older E series of planes. For one, the F series was much more aerodynamic than its predecessors. This was mainly due to all the redesigns of the fuselage, wings, and tail section. Yet this was not all the F-4 had available. A more powerful engine was added along with the addition of the new 20mm MG 151/20 cannons and the option to mount two more 20mm cannons under the wings. The Bf 109 F-4 Trop reached the front lines in June of 1941, and will replace the E-7 variant on some of our later desert maps. The MG 151/20 cannons and the fuel tank are both optional and will not be together as shown. It was created by Toddel.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we are showing off a brand new map for our Normandy theater, which was made by the newest addition to our developer team, Schism - RvtL.
Today we are bringing you screenshots of the map, Port en Bessin. Originally created by ctz and eventually handed over to Schism - RvtL, British commando forces must drive out the defending German troops to link-up with the Americans landing on Omaha Beach. Final touches to Port en Bessin were done by Natty Wallo.
The British 47 Royal Marine Commando landed on Gold Beach on D-Day. After advancing nine miles trough enemy territory they began their assault on the small harbor of Port-en-Bessin on June 7th.

Flanked by sheer cliffs and fortifications, laying between the Gold and Omaha beaches, Port-en-Bessin would not only serve as the link up point between the American and British sectors, but would also become the main port for allied fuel deliveries to Normandy until Cherbourg had been liberated. Opposing the Commandos was the German 352nd infantry division, the same unit that had wrecked havoc on the American troops at Omaha Beach a day before...

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we bring you a very fast tank killer and a first for the FH2 mod team.

First up we have a brand new Allied tank-destroyer for our Normandy maps: The 76mm Gun Motor Carriage M18, or more commonly, the M18 Hellcat. Production began in July of 1943. Unlike the M10 tank destroyer, which used the chassis of the M4 Sherman, the M18 was designed completely from scratch to be a tank-destroyer. Its first taste of combat was in Italy, but the Hellcat also saw action in both north-west Europe, and in the Pacific. However, due to the poor quality of Japanese armor, the M18 was used in more of a fire support role.
Armed with a 76mm gun and powered by Wright R-975 engine, the Hellcat was the fastest tracked vehicle of World War II, with top speeds reaching 60 mph (97 kph). This proved especially useful when flanking German tanks, since most had a fairly slow turret traverse speed. The M18 did have some drawbacks though. Mainly, it had very thin armor and could not take on the heavier German tanks in head-to-head engagements. Its open top also left the 5-man crew not only exposed to grenades and shell fragments, but the weather as well. The M18 Hellcat was made by Pointblank86.
Next up, let us introduce to you what we hope will be a continuing series, the first Forgotten Hope 2 Dev Blog. Today's update focuses on one of the newer developers, spitfire05 and some of the new features he has coded for FH2. Enjoy!
Hey there. I'm Spitfire05. I joined the development team one and a half a months ago, and I mainly write python scripts and work on tweaking various code for FH2. I want to start this first dev blog by speaking of two new gameplay features.
Spawnwaves:
With the next patch we'll be introducing a new gameplay change, called Spawnwaves. Originally brought up by developer Natty Wallo and inspired by the same BF1942 feature, many of our old timers will be familiar with this new addition. My hope is that this will add another layer of teamwork and immersion to FH2. The idea is to have the players spawn within the same general time frame and therefore boost the immersion and reinforce the idea that you're not alone on the battlefield.
The new spawnwave system is very simple. Basically, the server automatically counts down in pre-determined intervals (set by server admins). When this countdown reaches zero, everyone on your team (who is dead) will be given a window of 7 seconds to spawn. At which point, another countdown will begin and the process will repeat. In essence, the player will have to do nothing but wait, and will look 100% identical to the older BF1942 spawnwave feature.
Team Spawnpoints:
I've been working on another gameplay feature that's been implemented into the next patch. A team-spawnpoint system, also proposed by Natty Wallo. What this will allow our mappers to do, is to have an easy way to add spawnpoints usable for only one team, and another set of spawnpoints at that same flag that are only usable by the other team. A picture is worth a thousand word, so here's a simple demonstrative image.

My hope with this is to cut down on the amount of dummy flags on maps (which had to be used to achieve the same effect but was a lot more complex) and more importantly reduce the amount of spawn-camping on certain maps.
I hope you've enjoyed reading about these new mod components, and more-so, our first dev blog.

la sera di solito ci son 2 server da 64 pieni ed una manciata di altri server con qualche players, per quanto riguarda il ping la maggior parte dei server sono EU
