The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.56 Part 3 Posted by: Eat Uranium 12.05.2020 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we have our other map in 2.56 to show off, but first we have a visual treat from Hawk in the form of a trailer: Motovskiy bay has been made by Ts4EVER. You can find the minimap and a preliminary vehicle listing here. Finally, just like yesterday we are going to end on a few more screenshots of some of the new things in 2.56:

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.56 Part 2 Posted by: Eat Uranium 11.05.2020 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are continuing where we left off yesterday by showing off two more vehicles that you will be able to find on the new map Tali. The Finnish Army first encountered the KV-1 in December of 1939, in a Soviet attack on the Mannerheim Line. This new design was essentially immune to their 37mm anti tank guns, and even the tracks were resistant against the most common anti tank mines. Still, they proved vulnerable to large satchel charges, and this might explain why only 2 of the type were captured and re-used. These two KVs were an up-armoured "1940" model and a "1942" model. The model 1942 KV-1 was captured on the River Syväri in the spring of 1942. In Finnish service the tank was found to be far from ideal. The crew were especially blind to the outside, and the shortage of spare parts and general unreliability of the vehicles meant they spent a lot of time in repair depots. Fuel consumption was noted to be more than twice that of the T-34. Both Finnish KV-1s would survive the war, being retired in 1955. Our model 1942 KV-1 was modified from Toddel's KV-1S by Seth Soldier. In 1930, the Soviet Union purchased 15 of the twin turreted 6-Ton Type A tanks from Vickers-Armstrong, along with the technical package to conduct their own further production. After a period of testing, the first T-26 design was accepted into service in 1931. This differed from the 6-Ton with slightly different turrets designed to take the DT instead of a Vickers, as well as a slightly modified engine that was only a near copy of the original. In 1933, the T-26 was updated with a new larger single cylindrical turret, mounting a 45mm antitank gun and a DT. This larger turret also allowed space for a radio to be fitted, though such tanks made up less than half the total. Radio equipped tanks are visually identifiable by a thick frame antennae around the top of the turret. The T-26 turret went through several changes, in 1935 it switched from riveting to welding, in 1936 a rear DT was added, and most significantly in 1938 the sides were sloped. In total, just over 10000 T-26 were manufactured between 1931 and 1941. They were present in large numbers during Operation Barbarossa, and consequently were lost in large numbers. While made quickly obsolete against advances in German armour, they would continue in service with the Red Army until 1945, particularly on the Finnish Front and in the Far East. The Finnish Army had similarly taken note of the Vickers 6-Ton, and had ordered 32 of them in 1936. A few of these tanks had served towards the end of the Winter War, and most were subsequently modified afterwards into T-26E using captured T-26 turrets. However, they were eclipsed in Finnish service by intact captured T-26s. All in all, 114 captured T-26 tanks served throughout the Continuation and Lapland wars. The majority of the Finnish T-26 were equipped with the 1933 pattern turret. A number of modifications were made to the tanks, and a few double turreted and flamethrower tanks were converted to the 1933 or 1938 patterns. Our T-26s were made by Sorken. Finally, we'd like to end today with a few screenshots showing off some of this new equipment.

The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.56 Part 1 Posted by: Eat Uranium 10.05.2020 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. It has been a bit of wait since the previous release went live, and we have been busy working away on our next update. As usual we have some shiny new content to play with: new guns and tanks and maps. There have also been a lot of changes under the hood so to speak as well, and we think that version 2.56 will feel almost like a new game. Speaking of which, you are invited to join us on the servers when it goes live on: Friday 15th May 2020 As usual, we'd like to give a big thanks to our players for sticking with us and keeping the servers populated even after all this time. Additionally, we would like to thank our team of betatesters for their dedication to improving our work, as well as our developers for the time and effort they put in to make things happen. Last but not least, none of this would be possible without the web hosting generously provided by Fluestertuete. As always, what is an update without some new content, and today we are showing off one of the maps and one of the vehicles you will be able to find on this map: You can find the minimap and a preliminary vehicle listing here. Design work on a new light tank was started in 1939, with the intention of producing a vehicle that would replace the T-26 in service. Despite some setbacks, by early 1941 the T-50 had reached readiness for production, but this was delayed by the need to retreat the factories in the face of the German invasion a few months later. In total, only 69 of this type were actually produced - they were as expensive to make as a T-34 and the engine was very unreliable. They were replaced in production by the T-60 and T-70. The Finns first encountered a T-50 in July of 1941, and managed to capture a single example later that year. This T-50 was later fitted with bolt on armour plates, and was used by the Finns as a command vehicle. It would ultimately suffer an unrepairable engine failure while preparing for the counterattack on Portinhoikka. This unique vehicle was nicknamed Niki by its crew, and the type as a whole gained the nickname Pikku-Sotka meaning "Small Pochard". Our T-50 was made by Sorken.
