Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

We are back after a short holiday break with our first update of the new year. Today we are showing off a light bomber that saw action in the harsh environments of North Africa; the British Hawker Hardy!



The Hawker Hardy started life in the 1930s as the Hart; a small and nimble bi-plane that was used primarily as a light bomber by the RAF. The Hardy came to life later on in what was essentially a tropicalised, general purpose variant of the Hart. Combat sorties were mainly against forces in Italian-occupied areas of Africa, but the aircraft also saw action in several other countries with several other air forces. While the last official mission occurred in May 1941, some were kept in service by the British as a communications aircraft. The RAF Hawker Hardy was made by Herc.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

Our first render of today is of a British tank that holds a special place in the Forgotten Hope community, having been suggested heavily by the community. It is the Churchill Mk. III infantry tank!



The British Churchill was a heavy infantry tank that came into service in 1941. It was large, well armed, well protected, and would spawn many Churchill-based variants later in the war. In 1942, six Mk. IIIs were sent to help fight the Germans in North Africa. Armed with 6-pounder main guns, the tanks of "KingForce" were reportedly able to hold out and only sustained minor damage from anti-tank guns. The Mk. III would be later replaced by the more numerous Mk. IV variant, but not before the Mk. III would be credited with capturing the first Tiger tank for the western Allies. The Churchill Mk. III tank was made by Toddel and Kraetzer. It was exported and coded by Kev4000.

Nice Churchill. Cant wait to drive it

Just out of curiosity are there any Flak 38 AA guns in FH2? I never saw any. And if there are, which maps have them? Thank you

20mm? Yes, there are several versions: the static version can be found on many africa maps that also have planes. There are also some that are mounted on Opel Blitz trucks (or are those Vierlings? can't remember now). On ramelle neuville there is on that is pushable by hand and has the gun shield removed like in Saving Private Ryan.

Flak 38 ( one barrel) is common on desert maps. Also there's version of Opel Blitz with it mounted on the top. I haven't noticed the Flak on Ramelle though.
Flak 38 ( four barrels) is found only as fixed position on most of the Normandy maps featuring aircraft. There's also Wirblewind too. So far there is no Halftrack Hanomag with flakvierling on it, but I hope it will soon be done

[Tankbuster]

On which map is the wirblewind present?

[cephalos]

Operation Cobra nad Operation Totalize. I don't remember others, but mainly they appear when allies have aircraft.

[Ts4EVER]

In the public version only on Operatin Totalize, but it will be on Bastogne too next Patch.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

Before we get on with this week's update, please welcome two new developers to the team; Nissi (3D Art) and Void (singeplayer).

We are back after a week's absence with a brand new Italian weapon that should help keep the skies clear over the African desert. It is the Breda Model 35 20mm AA gun!



The Cannone-Mitragliera da 20/65 modello 35 (Breda Model 35) was an light, 20mm anti-aircraft (AA) gun that was designed, produced, and fielded by the nation of Italy. Originally, the gun was used a dual-purpose gun, seeing excellent results against both aircraft and lightly armored vehicles. However, the Breda 35 also found life on board various vehicles and ships such as the Panzer I, Fiat L6/40, as well as both Italian and Finnish torpedo boats. In North Africa, so many of these AA guns were captured by the British that it allowed various ships and vehicles to be equipped with them. The Breda 35 20mm AA gun was made by Kraetzer and exported by Kev4000.

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope 2.

This week we are showing off the older brother of the famous M1919 machine gun; the M1917A1 Browning machine gun!



The Browning M1917 was a belt-fed, water-cooled machine gun that saw combat use all the way through the 20th century. The original gun came to be known as the M1917 and first saw combat use at the tail end of World War I. After the war the weapon received various mechanical upgrades and changes, and was given the designation of M1917A1. Being a general purpose machine gun, it was used extensively by numerous countries throughout the Second World War. The large barrel jacket and additional water-cooling equipment meant that the 1917 was quite heavy, and was traditionally used as a static weapon for defense. The Browning M1917 was made by Seth Soldier and exported by Kev4000.

Up next we have three brand new in-game screenshots to show off. The first of which is the M1917 mounted on a jeep on the map Eppeldorf. The next two showcase the Breda 35 Italian AA gun mounted in the back of a Fiat truck, and the British Hawker Hardy in action on the recently announced map, Battle of Keren.
