The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 6 Posted by: CptBocquier 15.06.2025 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off Pogostje, the second and final map for our Red Christmas release. Being the first 1941 Eastern Front map in Forgotten Hope 2, it depicts one of the desperate attempts by the Soviets to relieve the siege of Leningrad during the winter of 1941-1942. Before that, we are pleased to present you our trailer for this release: From December 17, 1941 to May 8, 1942, the almost uninhabitable area with endless swamps near the Pogostje station on the Mga-Kirishi railway line became a tough battlefield between the XXVIII. Armeekorps and the Soviet 54th Army. The frozen railway embankment was turned by the German 269. and 291. Infanterie-Division into a kind of fortress wall with firing points, bunkers and a labyrinth of trenches. On January 13, 1942, the Soviet 54th Army, being part of the Luban Offensive Operation, in an attempt to unblock the city of Leningrad, started the assault towards the German entrenched positions. The operation did not achieve its operational goals and turned into a series of bloody battles for separate fortified areas. In less than 6 months, tens of thousands soldiers were killed around this small village. Pogostje was made by John Tomasson. You can find the minimap and a preliminary vehicle listing here.

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 5 Posted by: Guarnere & CptBocquier 14.06.2025 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Yesterday we introduced some pre-war trucks from the USSR, today we will have a lend-lease plane and an ersatz truck, depicting the dire situation for the Soviet Army in the first year following the German invasion. From 1941 to 1944, the Soviet Union imported through the Lend-Lease agreement approximately 2,425 American-made Curtiss P-40's, from the B, C, E, K, L and N variants, making it the fourth numerous foreign aircraft in the Soviet inventory after the P-39, the Hurricane and the P-63. The first deliveries of P-40B and C's alongside few Hurricane aircrafts arrived at Arkhangelsk on August 31st 1941, onboard the British freighter S.S. New Westminster City, part of the "Dervish" Convoy that opened the Artic route to the USSR. Those aircrafts were test flown by the 27th Reserve Regiment at the Kadnikov airfield to later be delivered to the different VVS KA (Red Army Air Force), PVO (National Air Defense) Aviation Regiments and the VVS VMF (Navy Aviation). The Aviation Regiments started the war equipped with I-15, I-16 or MiG-3 but after losing these aircrafts during Operation Barbarossa, by early 1942, they started to replace them with P-40C's. Gradually and as a result of subsequent losses, they were replaced by the later P-40 variants such as the E or K. The Soviet P-40's were deployed on all fronts and fought from the air in all the crucial battles like Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kuban, Crimea, Kursk or Karelia until 1944, when the shipment of this type of aircraft ended and new modern domestic versions replaced the older P-40 models. Our Curtiss P-40E was made by Rad, Lobo, Stubbfan, Herc and textured in soviet colours by Matt Baker. At the end of 1941, due the proximity of the German Army to Moscow, the ZIS No. 2 factory was closed and production was relocated to Ulyanovsk, on the Volga and to Miass, in the Urals. It's in this context with an important shortage of raw materials that from February 1942, the ZIS production was forced to be simplified : round fenders were changed with angled ones, cabin was made in wood and the front bumper and right headlight were removed. From 1942 to 1948, a total of 207,260 trucks of this simplified version, called ZIS-5V, were produced. At last for today, we also wanted to write something about an existing content ingame that we never mentionned here, the Zwillingssockel 36. This early anti-aircraft system consisted in a single pedestal with a 360 deegres traverse and equipped with two 7.92 mm Maschinengewehr 34s. The operator sat in a chair at the rear and took aim using a height-adjustable ring sight installed between the two MGs. Entering service in 1936, it was used on static light anti-aircraft positions, for instance on WN 64 at Omaha Beach, or used on board on towed wagons, light cars, halftracks and of course trucks like the Opel Blitz 3.6-36S. Although the production stopped in 1941 given the limitation of the system, leaving room for more capable guns like the 2 cm FlaK, it remained in service practically the entire conflict. Our Zwillingssockel 36 was made by ctz. It is mounted on the Opel Blitz from Mange and jimbob, with the panzergrau texture by Toddel. Last but not least, we would like to share with you the FH2 2.65 Panzerfaust compilation from our dear Slayer1976: If you have missed any previous updates this week, you can find links to them here: Go to Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 1 Go to Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 2 Go to Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 3 Go to Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 4

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 4 Posted by: Guarnere & CptBocquier 13.06.2025 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. While the Soviet Army was introduced in Forgotten Hope 2.5, it has been equipped since then with lend-lease trucks. Today we introduce what would be ingame the main soviet trucks in the early stage of the war, the ZIS trucks. The ZIS-5 was one of the central pillars and workhorse of Soviet logistics and transportation alongside the GAZ AA and MM truck series during World War Two and beyond. In 1933, at the Moscow Automobile Plant (AMO), the production of the two-axle, three-ton AMO-5 truck started, for commercial and military purposes. Although it was a license-built copy of early 1930s American commercial trucks, it was manufactured like its predecessor, the 2.5-ton AMO-3, with Russian components and not with American truck kits. After the factory was renamed to Factory No. 2 Zavod Imeni Stalina (ZIS), the truck's designation was also changed accordingly to ZIS-5. In parallel, a three-axle version was also produced, designated ZIS-6. This version, like the previous one, served as a base for a lot of specialized versions for different purposes like halftracks, ambulances, and fuel or water tankers among others, the most famous one being the multiple rocket platform "BM-13 Katyusha". Some of them where also equipped with the 7.62 mm anti-aircraft "ZPU M-4" mount. From 1933 to 1941, the total production of the ZIS-5 truck were produced 325,051 units, while 21,239 units of ZIS-6 were made. The ZIS trucks had a crucial role during the "Road of Life", the transport routes that supplied with food, ammunition and other equipment the Leningrad pocket through the ice roads of the lake Ladoga during the winters of 1941-1942 and 1942-1943. Although by July 1944, the majority of new vehicles in the Red Army service came from the Lend-Lease deliveries, like the Studebaker US6, the Red Army was still heavily dependant of the ZIS and GAZ trucks variants. Ours were made by Tedwin-Knockman666 and Matt Baker.

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 3 Posted by: Guarnere & CptBocquier 12.06.2025 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showcasing some elements that were recently updated : the US Army playermodels during the Fall and Winter of 1944. With the release of the 2.4, Forgotten Hope 2 introduced the intense fights of the Hurtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge. While the German soldiers in late 1944 were featured in some news, we never took the case to actually showcase the changes that occured on the uniforms of the American soldiers. As depicted in the fields of Normandy ingame, the various units from the US Army operating in Europe used a variety of clothing like the cotton M1941 Field Jacket, the cotton twill M1942 Paratrooper uniform or in some rare case the Herringbone twill (HBT) utility uniform. While most of the soldiers used basic tanned leather shoes with heavy canvas leggings, the paratroopers dropped with distinct jump boots. Many criticism depicted these uniforms as inadequate, like the Olive Drab (OD) n°3 shade of the M1941 Field Jacket that gave poor concealment in the European theater or the lack of large pockets. Another example was the paratrooper trousers that were prone to tore around the knees or the crotch. A new design was pushed by the Army consisting of a standardized M1943 field jacket issued in Olive Drab (OD) n°7, with two large breast pockets and two skirt pockets. No big changes were made on the trousers but various buttons and a looser fit. To remplace the boots and gaiters for all units the M1943 Combat Service Boots was introduced, including a leather cuff that can be quickly fastened with a pair of buckles. While the first tests of the new M1943 uniform occured in Italy in 1943, the logistical situation prevented the use of the new design during the Normandy landings. Paratroopers received their M1943 uniforms just after D-Day engagments, while the rest of the US Army in Europe slowly got issued, making it more widespread in Late 1944. Ingame, the paratroopers from the 101st Airborne fighting in Bastogne are all wearing the M1943 uniforms, even if a lot of troopers kept elements of their M1942 uniforms, notably their jumping boots that were less subject to getting caught in a parachute. GIs fighting in the Hurtgen Forest receive a mix of M1943 uniform and older elements, same for Rangers supporting them. Finally the various units caught in the German Offensive through the Bulge wear a majority of M1943 uniforms, even if some soldiers also use the M1938 Overcoat Mackinaw. Small details like mittens, gloves or scarfs have been repartited through all playermodels depending on the season. While the webbings and gear elements are unchanged, the gear repartition has been remade to underline the task differences carried by each type of unit (Paratroopers, Rangers or simple soldiers). Some helmets and vests also received their divisional emblem or recognition markings, following the pride carried by the soldiers to be a part of a unit or the essential need to quickly recognize a soldier's assignement. The base Winter American playermodels were done by PointBlank86, Remdul, Kev4000, with the faces done by Zero and were reworked by Cpt Bocquier.

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 2 Posted by: CptBocquier 11.06.2025 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today, we are showcasing the first map of this release, Verdenne. Some of you have already experienced this map as a Christmas event map; it is now entering the official rotation. Join the American troops trying to set up a cohesive defense line, or follow the German panzers through the dense forests and villages before the Allies regain their air superiority. It is Christmas Eve and the German Ardennes offensive is starting to run out of steam as more and more allied reinforcements and airpower start to pour into the Battlefield. In an effort to rekindle the advance towards the Meuse river, elements of 116. Panzer-Division use the bad visibility to infiltrate into American lines near Verdenne and Bourdon. A confused battle ensues, with elements of the US 84th Infantry Division bypassed in the village and German tanks lumbering through the foggy forests. Verdenne was made by Ts4EVER. You can find the minimap and a preliminary vehicle listing here.

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.66 Red Christmas - Part 1 Posted by: CptBocquier 10.06.2025 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. As we get closer to summer, Forgotten Hope will provide some fine refreshments to cool you down. We are excited to announce that our update 2.66 Red Christmas will be released on: Tuesday 17th June 2025 To start our usual stream of "Road to" news gently, we propose a new addition to the Soviet hand weapon arsenal. In the mid-1920s, the Soviets were interested in developing a sniper rifle program and started a series of trials with ordered German commercial scopes like the Zeiss Zielvier and Busch Visar N°5 scopes, attached to their M/91 Dragoon rifles. While those German manufacturers started producing modified scopes and mounts following Russian demands, local designers such as A. Smirnsky developed a top mount for the scopes. In early 1930, the Main Artillery Directorate selected the Busch Visar scopes on the Smirnsky mount. The Busch Visar was favored notably for its windage adjustment options. Following improvements, the Soviets started the production of their own copy, designated as "Rifle Scope Model 1931" with a 3.87x magnification. In 1933, the scope would get its final appearance, with the central box shape being rounded at the corners and external locks removed. Mass production then started for the scope, now coded "PE". Approximately 47,237 scopes were produced between 1933 and 1937, when the simplified version of the scope, known nowadays as "PEM", was preferred. Soviet M91/30 rifles with PE scopes were the most numerous captured sniper rifles in Finnish inventories from the Winter War through the Continuation War and were designated Tarkka-ampujakivääri M/30. German troops would also use them under the name Zielfernrohrgewehr 256(r) . Our PE scope was made by Frimenitnet and Ashton, mounted on the Mosin Nagants made by Seth Soldier.
