Longnose Posted by: Eat Uranium 29.03.2020 17:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off a render of the most advanced tank to see combat with the Finnish Army in the Continuation War. The new T-34-85 had begun to place the older T-34s at the front in 1944, and were one of the main Soviet tanks in the large summer offensive against Finland that year. As with many other Soviet vehicles, the Finns were able to capture a number of these vehicles and press them into service. In total, 9 T-34-85 were captured, of which 5 were in drivable condition and a further 2 could be repaired. These new tanks were a powerful addition to the Finnish Army, but supplies of ammunition were limited and the war was over before they could make much impact. To the Finns, this new Sotka was known rather simply as Pitkäputkinen Sotka, or "Long Barrel Sotka". The captured tanks received similar modifications and camouflage paint as the other Sotkas, and ours was modified from Pointblank86's original by Matt Baker and Stubbfan. http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/news.php?id_news=547

US 37mm canister shot improved to fire 123 pellets with proper spread, range, and damage, instead of 25 regular 30-06 rifle caliber bullets Weapons: M55 Reising: - altered firing sounds to make it sounds more metalic comparing to thompson (they do sounds similiar tho since both fire the same round, Thompson may receive new sounds after FH2 update) -

air mounted 50 cal use airplane API ammo (more efficient against enemy fighters) - added suppression effect to the ground (PT Boat?) version of the MG - firing sounds stoptype changed from 1 to 2 for proper looping - recoil removed to prevent stuff like .50cal being able to push PT boat when firing Type 14 Nambu pistol: - projectile type changed from 9mm Parabellum placeholder to new 8x22mm Nambu - muzzle velocity increased from 220m/s to 280m/s Type 38 Rifle: -

new reloading sounds applied (new Breda M37 sounds from upcoming FH2 patch) - reload time shorten from 4.5 to 1.5sec to match new sounds - mag size reduced from 250 to proper 30 rounds - muzzle velocity lowered from 800m/s to 730m/s Type 97 heavy tank MG: - new armament added for the Japanese tank coaxial MGs with proper ROF to replace coax MG34s - custom sounds based on Italian Breda - muzzle velocity is set top 724m/s - magsize 20 (50 mags per gun) Type 99 LMG: -

20mmHE round icon added to replace current placeholder white rectangle - all 8 bombs are now being dropped in one burst instead 2 bombs at the time Type 96 25mm AA gun: - ROF changed to 240 for a single gun, 450 for a dual mount, and 600 for triple mount (due to engine limitations) with new matching firing sounds set - reloading time decreased from 6 seconds to 1.8 second for a single barrel, 2.5 seconds for a dual mount and 3.5 seconds for the triple mount to potray quick mag change done by a crew (in reality Type 96 was manned by a crew of 3 (single), 7 (dual) or 9 people (triple)) - fixed shell ejection placement, and removed bugged double shell ejection/muzzle flash effect on dual Type 96 mounts - new reloading sounds based on Boys rifle reload - overheat penatly reworked to be less drastic than on Bofors gun - added overheating sounds Oerlikon 20mm AA gun: - overheating sounds added - visual recoil slightly increased - muzzle velocity slightly lowered - fixed shell ejection effect placement - new sounds based on FH2 AA gun, matching the lower ROF of 450RPM -

proper 40mmHE.dds shell icon added to all naval Bofors gun variants - overheating sounds added - mag.size set to -1 (infinite) when manned by a crew, Bofors guns were capable of constant fire, the only restriction from doing it is the overheat penalty (10 secs for dual and 20 secs for the quad mount, a bit drastic but changing overheat penalty value doesn't seem to work and I can't lower it down) - ROF set to proper 240RPM for dual and slightly-lower-than-real-life-450RPM for quad cannon (note that you don't need to reload but it's easier to overheat the gun now due to higher ROF) - shell ejection effect placement and rotation fixed (guns now spit shells to the front like real gun did) -

turret MGs changed from .30cal to .50cal firing API projectiles - dual 50cal reloading sounds added to both airplanes - enabled manual reload for the MG gunners - machine gun weapon selection icon added to replace white rectangle placeholder - all 8 bombs are now being dropped in one burst instead 2 bombs at the time SBD dauntless: - rear .30cal MG firing sounds are now played faster (still not matching ROF properly but better than before, this will require complete rework of sounds to be fixed at one point)
