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. On another note, in an attempt to establish better communication, we are asking any and all FH2 server administrators to send an email or private message to the developer team with the following information: Forum name, in-game name, server you manage, and website of server. Thank you. Our winner for this week's screenshot competition is Mayhemic.MAD. You can view the winning submission here. We are now accepting entries for the week of Jan. 29th. If you think you have the best FH2 screenshot, post them here. That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next week for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel channel, our pub

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. On another note, in an attempt to establish better communication, we are asking any and all FH2 server administrators to send an email or private message to the developer team with the following information: Forum name, in-game name, server you manage, and website of server. Thank you. Our winner for this week's screenshot competition is Droidi(Fin). You can view the winning submission here. We are now accepting entries for the week of Jan. 15th. If you think you have the best FH2 screenshot, post them here. That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next week for another update.

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. Our winner for this week's screenshot competition is FOXberetvertJack. You can view the winning submission here. We are now accepting entries for the week of Jan. 8th. If you think you have the best FH2 screenshot, post them here. That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next week for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel channel, our public forums, and/or our Twitter and Facebook pages to discuss this update and other news.
