Chiron's Chariot

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we are showing off a render of an often overlooked tank in the British arsenal, the Centaur IV.

The A27L Centaur started life as an offshoot of the A24 Cavalier tank, which was a proposed replacement design for the A15 Crusader started in 1940 by Nuffield. The Cavalier had finally reached trials in 1942, and immediately showed problems with its underpowered Nuffield Liberty engine it inherited from the Crusader. While some were produced, none would see service outside of Britain. What would become the Centaur was based on a design to fit the Cavalier with the new Rolls Royce Meteor engine. Such equipped tanks would become the A27M Cromwell, but concerns over the production rate of Meteors lead to an updated Liberty engine being substituted.

The only A27L to see combat service was the Centaur IV, fitted with the Ordnance QF 95mm Howitzer. These served with the Royal Marine Armoured Support Group on D-Day, and were given distinctive azimuth markings around their turrets to allow their fire to be directed by an observer from the landing craft. Equipped with deep wading snorkels and with the hull MG blanked off to improve water-tightness, they were driven ashore and used for at least a few more weeks.

Our Centaur IV has been modified by Matt Baker from the Cromwell IV made by Malsa. Matt Baker has also updated the old textures made by Montoya of our Cromwell IV and VI.

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we are showing off a render of another Italian explosive and some information on some new tools for some of our sniper kits on Eastern Front maps.

The B4 landmine is the first anti-personnel mine designed for the Italian Army. Designed in 1935, it saw extensive use by the Italians during the war, though it would prove costly and would ultimately be replaced by simpler models.

The B4 is designed to be fixed above ground to a stake or tree and be detonated via tripwire. The cylindrical casing includes a flat area with 6 sharp spikes that could be pushed into a tree trunk. The internal explosive chamber was surrounded by metal fragments, that would be thrown in all directions upon detonation. The B4 was occasionally buried. Ours was made by Matt Baker.

The German B-Patrone and the Soviet PZ were standard rifle calibre explosive bullets intended to be used for range setting of machineguns. Such projectiles had been prohibited by the Declaration of St Petersburg in 1868 for use against men, but they were in common use by snipers on both sides of the Eastern Front. In February 1945, German snipers were even officially issued 20 bullets each for use on the Eastern Front only.

Absolutely devastating in use, these bullets were used in situations where an absolutely certain kill was needed.

Additionally, we had a recent Dev Stream that covered some of the content in our upcoming update, and although we had some technical difficulties that ultimately brought it to an early end, we still have a triplet of videos for your viewing pleasure:

We'd like to thank everyone who tuned in to watch and hope that we answered some of your questions while we could.
