  1. Grandfather Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off a render of another Soviet tank, the T-34 model of 1941. This earlier version of the T-34 will be serving alongside our current model of 1943. Compared to the variants that would follow it, the T-34 model 1941 was expensive, cramped and mechanically unreliable. It differed from the original model of 1940 by the addition of a more powerful gun and a new radio. While on paper it was one of the best tanks of the day, in practice it didn't live up to quite such high expectations. Visibility for the commander was poor, and the lack of a turret basket floor left the loader in a tricky position once the floor mat was lifted to access the ammunition stores. The model 1941 was produced in great quantities until it was replaced in production by the simpler and cheaper model 1942. Our model 1941 was modified by Stubbfan from our original model 1943 made by Pointblank86. Full article here: http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/news.php?id_news=511
  2. Hola. Im Portuguese. You can consider me Latin also. My writen latin is very bad but my latin talking is smooth.
  3. Fantastic pictures guys! Its always great to see trips to actual battle locations.

  6. The station is likely to come down in time for Easter China's out-of-control Tiangong-1 space lab is now expected to fall to Earth between March 30 and April 2, 2018. Originally launched back in 2011, China's prototype space station Tiangong-1 or 'Heavenly Place' was used as both a manned laboratory and as a test platform to demonstrate orbital docking capabilities. A few months after it ceased operations in 2016 however, amateur satellite trackers noticed that it seemed to be out of control, something that was later officially confirmed by China's space agency. Now according to the European Space Agency's Space Debris Office in Darmstadt, Germany, Tiangoing-1 is very likely to fall to Earth at some point between March 30th and April 2nd. Scientists however were keen to stress that this window is 'highly variable'. While it isn't clear exactly where the station will come down, the most likely areas include northern China, central Europe, the northern US, New Zealand, South Africa and parts of South America. The chances of anyone actually being injured by it however are infinitesimally small. "In the history of spaceflight no known person has ever been harmed by reentering space debris," said research organization Aerospace. "Only one person has ever been recorded as being hit by a piece of space debris and, fortunately, she was not injured."

  9. A big thank you to everyone that has donated until now!
  10. Astronaut Scott Kelly had an identical twin brother when he ventured into space and set the record for most consecutive days spent in orbit, but not anymore. In a groundbreaking new study, NASA scientists found that Kelly’s DNA had been altered upon his return to earth — with 7 percent of his genes experiencing an “unexpected change,” according to the agency. Research teams from around the country had been analyzing the New Jersey native’s condition and genetic makeup following his year-long stay aboard the International Space Station as part of NASA’s “Twins Study.” Kelly said on Twitter that he didn’t find out about the results until he saw media reports this week about the DNA change. “What? My DNA changed by 7%! Who knew?” he tweeted. “I just learned about it in this article. This could be good news! I no longer have to call @ShuttleCDRKelly my identical twin brother anymore.” According to NASA, Kelly’s 340 days in orbit may have ultimately activated what scientists describe as “space genes.” “This is thought to be from the stresses of space travel, which can cause changes in a cell’s biological pathways and ejection of DNA and RNA,” the agency said. “Such actions can trigger the assembly of new molecules, like a fat or protein, cellular degradation; and can turn genes on and off, which change cellular function.” Researchers said the long-term changes were related to Kelly’s immune system, DNA repair, bone formation networks, hypoxia and hypercapnia. “By studying how space travel can influence chemical changes in RNA and DNA, new ‘space genes’ were reported, indicating significant cell stress and correlations with changes noted by other Twins Study investigators,” explained NASA. “Whole-genome sequencing showed each twin has hundreds of unique mutations in their genome, more than expected, and some were found only after spaceflight.” Full article here: https://nypost.com/2018/03/14/astronauts-dna-no-longer-matches-his-identical-twin/
  11. Was the settlement of Hop in New Brunswick ? Known as Hop, the settlement has been spoken of in Norse sagas passed down over hundreds of years. Archaeologists have long known that the Vikings founded a settlement in North America around 1,000 years ago, several centuries before famed explorer Christopher Columbus - who is frequently credited with discovering the continent - had even been born. One site known to have been used by these ancient Scandinavian seafarers was L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, which today is classed as a United Nations World Heritage site. The whereabouts of Hop, however - a legendary North American Viking settlement famed for its grapes, salmon and canoes made from animal skins - has long remained a mystery. Now though, by studying Norse texts and archaeological finds on America's east coast, archaeologist and Viking expert Birgitta Wallace believes that she may have finally found the answer. Hop, she argues, was likely located in the Miramichi-Chaleur Bay area of New Brunswick, Canada. This particular location fits perfectly, both with historic descriptions of Hop and with the availability of the wild resources, such as grapes and salmon, that the settlement was known for. The idea that Hop was only a single site however may be incorrect, as Wallace believes that the name may have referred to several short-term settlements in the area that changed each year. Given that most of these potential settlement sites are now paved over however, it may be very difficult to prove once and for all that Hop really did exist at this location.

  12. http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/news.php?id_news=510 Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are showing off the third map to make it into our upcoming version 2.53 update. Today's map is Lenino, covering the first major action of the Polish People's Army. This of course means that we have yet another new country to add to Forgotten Hope 2: Poland. Lenino was made by Aserafimov. On 12 October 1943, near the village of Lenino in the Mogilev Oblast, the Polish 1st Tadeusz Kosciuszko Infantry Division prepared to enter action for the first time, under the auspices of the Soviet created "Polish Army of the East." This battle was supposed to mark the beginning of Polish-Soviet fraternity and strengthen combat association between their soldiers. Yet, with Polish morale low as most soldiers had only just been released from Soviet Gulags, and the promised Soviet armoured, aerial, and artillery support never showing, the Tadeusz Kosciuszko Division would face a fiery combat debut against the battle hardened 113th and 337th Infantry Divisions. You can find the minimap and a preliminary vehicle listing here.

  20. A total of 216 crew members were killed during the battle The final resting place of the US aircraft carrier, which went down during World War II, has finally been located. The ship, which was scuttled during the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942, was found, along with 11 of its 35 aircraft, two miles underwater approximately 800km off Australia's east coast. It was discovered by a team led by billionaire explorer and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. "As the son of a survivor of the USS Lexington, I offer my congratulations to Paul Allen and the expedition crew of Research Vessel (R/V) Petrel for locating the 'Lady Lex'," said Adm Harry Harris. The battle which ultimately led to the vessel's demise was considered to be pivtol in halting Japan's advance across the Pacific during the Second World War. According to the US Navy, 216 members of the Lexington's crew were killed during the fighting while 2,000 others were successfully rescued. "Lexington was on our priority list because she was one of the capital ships that was lost during WWII," said Robert Kraft, a spokesman for Allen's company Vulcan. It took around six months of planning to finally locate the vessel, however there are no plans to raise it from the seabed because the US Navy considers it to be a war grave.
