				<title>Beta Test Event 3 Maps</title>
				<description>&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
With the Beta Event 3 upcoming next week, we will give you now new details on the maps included : &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Merdorp&#x26;#13;
France vs Germany&#x26;#13;
by Guinho&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In May 1940, as German panzer divisions advance through the Low Countries, French and British elite forces execute the Dyle-Breda maneuver, aiming to stop them from reaching France. The two armoured forces would clash near Hannut, in the network of defensive positions set in the villages such as Merdorp.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Watten&#x26;#13;
France vs Germany&#x26;#13;
by La Hire&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Following the breakthrough in the Ardennes, German forces have reached the Channel and stopped before the final assault on the Dunkirk perimeter, bounded by the southwest by the river Aa. A strong observation post near the town of Watten forces the German soldiers to cross the river and assault the mixed French units, who are hoping to buy enough time for a decisive counterattack.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Kiswe&#x26;#13;
Britsh Raj &#x26;amp; Free France vs Vichy France&#x26;#13;
by SputnikFighter &#x26;amp; CptBocquier&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In 1941, following the invasion of Iraq, the Allies seek to secure the flank of the Suez Canal and capture the mandates of Vichy France, supposedly neutral but aligned with the German Reich. One of the three axes of attack of Operation Exporter aims toward Damascus, but before the Allied column stands the town and heights of Kiswe, critical chokepoint defended by determined Vichyst troops.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Dubno&#x26;#13;
Soviet Union vs Germany&#x26;#13;
by Guinho&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
With Operation Barbarossa underway, German tanks are dashing through eastern Poland. A strong but desorganized Soviet counterattack near the towns of Dubno and Brody is causing a lot of chaos. As the Soviets attempt to regroup and escape the imminent encirclement, both sides clash in a massive tank battle around the town of Verba.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Bir Hakeim&#x26;#13;
Free France vs Germany &#x26;amp; Italy&#x26;#13;
by SputnikFighter &#x26;amp; CptBocquier&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
At the southern end of the Gazala line stands Bir-Hakeim, an abandonned Turkish fort transformed into an impressive network of dug-in positions surrounded by minefields. With the Gazala Line breached, German and Italians are now throwing everything they have against the surrounded but stubborn Free French defenders. The latter are fighting an uphill battle, hoping to buy enough time for the rest of the Allied forces to regroup.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Operation Little Saturn&#x26;#13;
Soviet Union vs Italy&#x26;#13;
by La Hire&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
After encircling a part of the German Army in Stalingrad but failing to eliminate the pocket, the Soviets are launching a new offensive, designed to expel the Axis forces from the area definitively. In front of them, with limited anti-tank capabilities, obsolete tanks and almost no winter gear, the entrenched Italians await the Soviet tanks under the worst conditions possible.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Sinjavino&#x26;#13;
Soviet Union vs Germany&#x26;#13;
by John Tomasson&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Operation Iskra in 1943 only partially lifted the siege of Leningrad. Strong German defenses are still threatening the lifeline east of the city. Repeated Soviet assaults and German counterattacks turn the area near the town of Sinjavino into a swampy, shell-torn wasterland, reminiscent of the first World War battlefields.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Operation Atlantic&#x26;#13;
Canada vs Germany&#x26;#13;
by Papillon - special thanks to the CMP Community&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In July 1944, the Allies are still bogged down in Normandy. Launched simultaneously with Operation Goodwood, Operation Atlantic aims to secure the eastern flank of the town of Caen, D-Day objective still not captured. After initial successes, Canadian soldiers encounter fierce resistance in the ruined buildings of the SMN, a large metallurgical plant located East of the river Orne.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Bure&#x26;#13;
Great Britain vs Germany&#x26;#13;
by Matt Baker&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
During winter 1944, German units managed to reach the small town of Bure to secure their advance towards the Meuse river. Although this ultimately failed, it is now up to the British airborne and armoured forces to clear the snow-covered village of the Germans. Multiple close-quarter combats and armoured counterattacks occur, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Hatten-Rittershoffen&#x26;#13;
United States vs Germany&#x26;#13;
by Papillon - special thanks to the CMP Community&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In January 1945 Operation Nordwind is causing a lot of confusion in the Allied lines in Alsace. German armoured forces are now pushing towards the villages of Hatten and Rittershoffen, surrounded by Maginot Line fortifications. For two weeks, US troops put up fierce resistance in the area, causing both sides to lose around fifty tanks each.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;

				<title>Vast Variety of Violence - Part 12</title>
				<description>Following World War One, Poland, after 123 years, regained its independence. As part of the effort to build up a formal military there was a need to standardize weaponry, as the Polish arsenal was a mixed mess following the war. To solve this they standardized on the 7.92mm Mauser cartridge. The choice of caliber was a consequence of the dismantling and acquiring of the "KÃ¶nigliche Gewehrfabrik" arms factory in Danzig following the war.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In 1924 the Polish Army set up a procurement trial for light machine guns. The winner was the "Browning Automatic Rifle, M1924", supplied by FN of Belgium, who had a license agreement with John Browning for European sales.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Shortly after, the Poles purchased the improved "BAR M1925", which differed from the American M1918 BAR - most notably by introducing a pistol grip. The Polish Army also requested an AA-sight and different bipod legs and rear sights.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In 1927, the Polish Army contracted FN to manufacture 10.000 BARs, designating them the "RÄczny karabin maszynowy "Browning" wz. 28". In 1929, FN delivered the first batch of wz.28s. With most suffering from technical errors, only 8.342 were accepted. The Poles now demanded the technical documentation from FN in Belgium - accidentally revealing a large deception. FN had illegally sold production licenses on behalf of "Colt", and the companies were now on bad terms. Colt being the intended producers of the wz.28 now refused the task, leading to FN pushing out a rushed production run themselves - with predictable results.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
To avoid a scandal, the Poles paid FN out-of-court and set up domestic production of the wz.28 with blessings from Colt. This production introduced a flash hider and the iconic "fish tail" buttstock.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
The wz.28 saw action during the Spanish Civil War and the 1939 invasion of Poland. Captured wz.28s were also used by the Germans, referred to as the "Maschinengewehr 28(p)". Approximately 14.000 were produced until 1939. Ours was made by Ashton and RedRogueXIII.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
We also wanted to share with you a new machinima made by our amazing community members :&#x26;#13;

				<title>No More Fun in Sight</title>
				<description>The German Army entered World War One with the Gewehr 98 as its standard rifle. At the time, one of the most innovative features of the rifle was its loading system. Loading was done via expendable five-round strip clips loaded from the top into guide rails machined into the receiver. It fired the 7,92mm S-Munition or "SpitzgeschoÃ" (Pointed bullet) and was fitted with the "Roller coaster" curved rear sight ramp, ranged from 400 m to 2.000 m.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
For the "ScharfschÃ¼tzen", the German snipers, around 15.000 units were modified with curved bolt handles and equipped with commercial telescopic sights with 3x or 4x magnification, manufactured notably by "C.P. Goerz", "Dr. Walter Gerard" and "VoigtlÃ¤nder".&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
After World War One, the Treaty of Versailles restricted the number of rifles in the German Army to a maximum of 134.000 units, but it's estimated that at least 200.000 disappeared into the arsenals of various local defense militias and the "Freikorps". In the 1920's, a large number of Gewehr 98 rifles in the German Army were equipped with a new leaf tangent sight ranged from 100 m to 2.000 m, more practical for short range engagments. &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
The modified rifles were designated as "Gewehr 98m". The Gewehr 98m was still used during the early stages of World War Two by various Waffen SS units, especially during the "WeiÃ", "Gelb" and "Barbarossa" operations from 1939 to 1941.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
A total of about 5.000.000 Gewehr 98 rifles were built in Germany until 1935, when production of the new Karabiner 98k kicked in. Our Gewehr 98m and it's 'Hensoldt-Wetzlar' Dialytan 4x scope were made by Seth Soldier.&#x26;#13;

				<title>The Trendsetter</title>
				<description>During World War One the German 'Rifle Testing Commission' requested a lightweight fully automatic weapon able to be carried by one man and chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. In 1916, two prototypes were presented - one by the weapons designer Andreas Schwarzlose and the other by Hugo Schmeisser. The tests resulted in Schmeisser's weapon being adopted by the German Army, receiving the designation 'Maschinenpistole 18.I.' Mass production began in 1918 at the 'Theodor Bergmann Waffenfabrik'.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
The MP 18.I was fully automatic only and had a leisurely rate of fire at 400-500 rounds per minute. It operated using an open bolt design which proved so effective that it became standard for other submachine guns for decades to come. The weapon was initially intended to feed from a 20-round box magazine, but a request from the German Army meant it had to undergo a redesign to fit the 32-round "Trommelmagazin" already in use with the P08 Artillery Luger.&#x26;#13;
The MP 18.I saw limited use at the tail-end of World War One in the hands of German "Sturmtruppen". Following the war, Versailles Treaty restrictions meant the MP 18.I could only be used in very limited numbers by the German military and police. In 1920 the weapon was again redesigned to feed from a box magazine. This version marked as the "MP 18.I System Schmeisser" was produced by Haenel and used 20 and 32-round magazines. The redesign was also offered as an upgrade package for the original MP 18.I's, but only a limited amount underwent modifications.&#x26;#13;
During World War Two, all types of MP 18.I were dragged out of storage, mostly to be used by rearguard formations until they could be replaced by more modern submachine guns. A few would end up in the hands of frontline units. Production numbers are uncertain, but an estimated 25.000-50.000 units were produced between 1918-1920. Our MP 18,I was made by Ashton and RedRogueXIII.&#x26;#13;
Last but not least, please have a look at the new FH2 panzerfaust compilation from our betatester Slayer1976 ! &#x26;#13;

				<title>De Gaulle's Tourneur</title>
				<description>As we opened our fifth D-Day Event with an unusual field-modified vehicle that took part in the landings, we wanted to conclude the event with another remarkable field-modified vehicle used : one used during the battle of Bir Hakeim, which ended on June 11, 1942 and is now featured in the first part of recently released French film De Gaulle.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
The 1939-1940 campaigns revealed to the Allies their lack of mobile anti-tank capabilities against an enemy deploying masses of tanks and overrunning static defences. One early solution was to mount anti-tank or artillery guns on the backs or tops of trucks and armored vehicles. This approach was further developed in the vast expanses of the Middle East and North Africa, where the Commonwealth forces used Bofors 37 mm or QF 2-pounder anti-tank guns mounted on Ford, Chevrolet, or Morris trucks.&#x26;#13;
The Free French, having pushed their Hotchkiss H39 tanksâsalvaged from the Norway Expeditionâto their limits during the Gabon and Syria campaigns, urgently needed affordable and mobile firepower. Taking advantage of the arsenal left behind by Vichy forces in Syria-Lebanon, as well as equipment recovered from Norway, their field engineers began mounting French artillery pieces onto various trucks.&#x26;#13;
The 1er Bataillon du Pacifique, part of the 1Ã¨re Division LÃ©gÃ¨re FranÃ§aise Libre, installed several 25mm SA ModÃ¨le 1934 anti-tank guns on the rear of their available wheeled vehicles. The gun, stripped of its legs and wheels, was mounted on a central pole in the truck bed, allowing the gunner to rotate 360 degrees. This mobile anti-tank gun earned the nickname "Derviche", inspired by the Turkish whirling dervishes who spin during their prayers. Although the gun had already shown its limitations in 1940, it was still capable of knocking out German and Italian tanks in 1942.&#x26;#13;
During the battle of Bir-Hakeim in May-June 1942, the "Derviches" were integrated in the "Jock Columns"âsmall, highly mobile units with significant firepowerâto conduct patrols and raids behind enemy lines. The "Derviches" and other field-engineered portees remained in service until the end of the North African Campaign, when Free French forces were re-equipped.&#x26;#13;
Our "Derviche" was made by CptBocquier from the Chevy 30cwt made by Rad and the 25mm SA ModÃ¨le 34 anti-tank gun by Seth Soldier.&#x26;#13;

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we opened our fifth D-Day Event with an unusual field-modified vehicle that took part in the landings, we wanted to conclude the event with another remarkable field-modified vehicle used : one used during the battle of Bir Hakeim, which ended on June 11, 1942 and is now featured in the first part of recently released French film <i>De Gaulle</i>.</p>&#13;

<p>The 1939-1940 campaigns revealed to the Allies their lack of mobile anti-tank capabilities against an enemy deploying masses of tanks and overrunning static defences. One early solution was to mount anti-tank or artillery guns on the backs or tops of trucks and armored vehicles. This approach was further developed in the vast expanses of the Middle East and North Africa, where the Commonwealth forces used Bofors 37 mm or QF 2-pounder anti-tank guns mounted on Ford, Chevrolet, or Morris trucks.</p>&#13;

				<title>J-Day</title>
				<description>Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
With the fifth edition of our D-Day anniversary event closing in, we wanted to show you a unique vehicle made especially for the allied landings, the LCA "SCAM" with J-Projectors.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In April 1944, it was decided that Ranger Force A, under the command of Lt. Col. Rudder, would assault the formidable cliffside coastal battery at Pointe du Hoc, Normandy. While planning the mission, the Rangers worked closely with the Combined Operations HQ, which had been working on a variety of devices to assist the British Commandos in rapidly scaling cliffs, a common obstacle during their raids along the Atlantic coast.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
One of the devices that caught the Rangers' attention was a type of rocket-propelled grappling hook. These 2-inch launchers, known as J-Projectors, traced their origins back to British maritime rescue devices developed by William Schermuly. To facilitate their use during the assault, the planners launched Project SCAM, which involved attaching six J-Projectors on the gunwales of the Rangers' assigned LCAs for D-Day. Each LCA carried three pairs of rope boxes : one pair with plain ropes, another with toggle ropes and the last with rope ladders.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
On June 6, Ranger Force A crossed the Channel in the two LSI(H)s, the "Amsterdam" and the "Ben My Chree", each carrying six SCAM LCAs. Due to the rough crossing, many of the ropes became waterlogged by the time of the landing, preventing them from reaching the top of the cliff. Of the 54 J-projectors on the LCAs, only 19 hooks successfully reached the cliff top. The crew of LCA 887, recognizing this issue, dismantled their remaining four launchers and carried them ashore, where they fired the rockets by hand using a battery.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Our SCAM LCA was made by Matt Baker, based on the LCA made by Toddel. The J-Projectors will be usable ingame thanks to the work of Ekiso.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
You can check an ingame preview of the SCAM LCA in the video below !&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;

				<title>Vast Variety of Violence - Part 11</title>
				<description>Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Today we are showcasing the main Norwegian heavy machine gun, the Colt M/29.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In 1929, the Norwegian Army adopted the Colt MG38B chambered in 7.92Ã57mm as its standard heavy machine gun, designating it the Colt M/29. After purchasing 100 guns directly from Vickers-Armstrong Ltd., Norway secured a license to produce the weapon at Kongsberg VÃ¥penfabrikk, with local manufacturing beginning in 1933.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In 1937, the decision was made to re-chamber the Colt M/29 for the more powerful 7.92Ã61mm round, also known as "7.92 TUNG". This modification provided greater range and stopping power, with anti-aircraft duty in mind.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
The Colt M/29 was a water-cooled heavy machine gun with a rate of fire of approximately 650 rounds per minute. It featured a tangent rear sight adjustable to 3,000 meters and could also be equipped with a specific M/36 anti-aircraft sight or the Kikkertsikte M/31 (5Ã magnification) scope, manufactured in Germany by Hensoldt &#x26;amp; SÃ¶hne.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
During the German invasion in AprilâJune 1940, the Colt M/29 proved its value as a cornerstone of Norwegian defensive efforts. Its high rate of fire and impressive accuracy made it a serious force multiplier for the frequently outnumbered and outgunned Norwegian troops. Approximately 958 7.92Ã57mm Colt M/29 were produced between 1933 and 1937, 1,708 Colt M/29 TUNG between 1937 and 1940, and an additional 400 units under German occupation.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Our Colt M/29 heavy machine gun was made by Seth Soldier and our Kikkertsikte M/31 and M/36 AA sights were made by Ashton.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;

				<title>The Accountant</title>
				<description>Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.&#x26;#13;
Today we are showing off the submachine gun in use in the Belgian Army, the Mitraillette ModÃ¨le 1934.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Following World War One, the Belgian Army recognized the need for adopting a submachine gun. Rather than developing its own model, Belgium acquired a production license for the renowned German Maschinenpistole 28.II. Production started in 1934 at the Belgian manufacturer 'Anciens Etablissements Pieper S.A.', located in Herstal. The design remained nearly unchanged, and the gun was functionally identical to its German counterpart. In 1935 the weapon received its military designation - 'Mitraillette ModÃ¨le 1934' â with all units stamped with the 'MI 34 Schmeisser Bayard' marking.&#x26;#13;
Initially the MI 34 was issued exclusively to reconnaissance platoons of various Belgian infantry regiments. Its distribution was later expanded to armored vehicle crews, rearguard units and platoon leaders of the Chasseurs Ardennais â an elite light infantry unit specialized in border operations.&#x26;#13;
Export deals were also secured: the Paris Police purchased 1,000 units, while the Portuguese Police acquired some numbers chambered in 7.65Ã21mm. Due to the urgent need for weapons, Finland ordered 171 guns during the Winter War.&#x26;#13;
Approximately 1,800 MI 34s were produced for the Belgian Army between 1934 and 1940. Ours was made by Ashton and RedRogueXIII.&#x26;#13;

				<description>Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.&#x26;#13;
With the latest hotfix that we released recently, we fixed some issues and added some new historical features on some of our existing maps.&#x26;#13;
On the Gold Beach map, we now depict the 50th 'Northumbrian' Infantry Division shoulder patches for the British landing forces, mixed with Commando units, also with their distinctive patches. These latter ones have facial paint in the Gold Beach and Port-en-Bessin maps, as they historically prepared for their deployment on D-Day.&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
The British glider and parachute troops of the 6th Airborne Division assaulting Pegasus and Horsa bridges will also portray this facial detail on the night landing and early morning hours of the Normandy invasion.&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
Facing the Allied forces on Gold Beach, you will now find the 'Osttruppen' units, composed of a mix of regular German units and Ukrainian conscripts, belonging to the Ostbattaillon 441 of the 716. Infanterie-Division with their respective captured Russian weapons and equipment, such as the 8.2cm Granatwerfer 274/2(r) mortar or the 4.5cm Pak 184/1(r) anti-tank gun.&#x26;#13;
 &#x26;#13;
Our British playermodels, made by Remdul and Rad, received new British shoulder patches by Matt Baker while new Russian heads and British facial paint were made by Cpt Bocquier, based on the work of Zero, Pointblank86 &#x26;amp; Rad.&#x26;#13;
A list of changes done in that hotfix can be seen in the 2.67 Hotfix Changelog.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;

				<title>And so this is Christmas (War is not over)</title>
				<description>&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.&#x26;#13;
We will be running a new event over the Christmas season, bringing with it a few unofficial maps made by the FH2 and CMP team. The event will run with the map list below over the following weeks:&#x26;#13;
Saturday 20th December to Sunday 4th&#x26;#13;
The map list will be the following official maps:&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Bastogne&#x26;#13;
Eppeldorf&#x26;#13;
La Hardt Forest&#x26;#13;
Meuse River&#x26;#13;
Operation Mars&#x26;#13;
Pogostje&#x26;#13;
St. Vith&#x26;#13;
Verdenne&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
As well as the following updated maps:&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Foy&#x26;#13;
Hatten Rittershoffen&#x26;#13;
Herrlisheim&#x26;#13;
La Gleize&#x26;#13;
Operation Little Saturn&#x26;#13;
The Storm&#x26;#13;
Valirisk&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 In 1915, the Russian military began developing aerosleds, or 'aerosani,' based on commercial designs. These vehicles were used for reconnaissance, communication, transporting supplies, and medical evacuation. Initially equipped with unarmed three-ski models like the ANT-IV, NKL-6, and NKL-16/37, it was not until after the Winter War that the Red Army fully recognized their importance - not only in logistics but also in direct combat. &#x26;#13;
 By the end of 1941, the lack of mounted armament on the NKL-16 aerosleds became a critical disadvantage, prompting the development of the NKL-26, a new armored and armed model with similar capabilities. Designed by N. M. Andreev and M. V. Veselovsky, the NKL-26 was operated by a two-person crew. It featured four individual skis, and its hull was constructed from plywood reinforced with a 10 mm armored plate at the front, which included an observation hatch for the driver/mechanic. The vehicle was equipped with a circular pedestal mount on top, fitted with a 7.62 mm DT machine gun for the commander/gunner. The NKL-26 retained the same powertrain as the NKL-16, using the M-11 five-cylinder, air-cooled radial aviation engine. This engine provided an operational speed of 30â50 km/h on ice. Mass production of the NKL-26 began in December 1941. &#x26;#13;
Aerosani battalions began operations in January 1942, integrated with combined arms units, primarily ski battalions, while occasionally conducting independent missions on the Northwest Front, the Moscow Front, and in the Staraya Russa area.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
The winter campaign of 1942â43 marked the peak of aerosled deployment, with the most effective units operating on frozen rivers and lakes, such as Lake Ladoga and Lake Ilmen, as well as in the coastal regions of the Gulf of Finland and on the Karelian Front. Their most renowned combat action took place during the NovgorodâLuga offensive in January 1944, where aerosani played a decisive role in establishing a bridgehead south of Novgorod. Our NKL-26 was made by Jeandiz and Matt Baker. &#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
In February 1943, the German Army General Staff explored the possibility of mounting a self-propelled 12.8 cm gun on a super-heavy tank chassis, intended for infantry support and engaging armored targets at ranges up to 3,000 meters. Emphasizing firepower and thick armor over speed, Henschel developed the TigerjÃ¤ger Ausf. B, mounting a 12.8 cm KwK L/55 gun in an elongated Tiger II "Tiger H3" chassis with a front casemate. The suspension, designed by Porsche, was similar to that of the PanzerjÃ¤ger Tiger (P) "Ferdinand" tank destroyer.&#x26;#13;
The first TigerjÃ¤ger Ausf. B prototypes, later renamed the Jagdtiger, were produced in February 1944. Weighing 70 tonnes, the vehicle featured 250 mm of frontal armor on the casemate and 80 mm on the sides and rear. It was equipped with the Winkelzielfernrohr 2/1 optic, offering 10x magnification and a 7-degree field of view for aiming the main gun. In September 1944, a new suspension system developed by Henschel was introduced for series production.&#x26;#13;
 That same month, Schwere PanzerjÃ¤ger-Abteilung 512 and 653 were fully equipped with Jagdtigers. Their crews were composed of battle-hardened veterans, many of whom had previously fought in Italy, Tunisia, and on the Eastern Front, including during the failed Tiger II's assault at OglÄdÃ³w in August 1944.&#x26;#13;
 The Jagdtiger saw its first combat during Operation Nordwind, the German offensive against U.S. and French positions in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Alsace, and Lorraine regions. However, the operation revealed the tank destroyerâs limitations: its poor mechanical reliability and mobility rendered it largely ineffective. At the start of Nordwind, only two Jagdtigers reached the front due to numerous breakdowns during transit. A few more arrived later to support the 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division and 21. Panzer-Divisionâs Kampfgruppe Liehr, participating in heavy armored engagements at Hatten-Rittershoffen.&#x26;#13;
 Following this, Jagdtigers continued to see limited action in Germany and Austria until the end of the war in Europe. A total of 85 Jagdtigers were produced by April 1945. Ours was made by FHSWMan, Stubbfan and Matt Baker. We would like to give a special thanks to Forgotten Hope Secret Weapons for this beast.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
 This Jagdtiger was based on the Kingtiger made by AceS and Rad. We took the opportunity to update the render of this Forgotten Hope 1 veteran.&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
Last but not least, we wanted to share with you a new FH2 compilation from our betatester Slayer1976 to end the year with a blast !&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
&#x26;#13;
That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next time for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our Discord, our public forums, our subreddit, and/or Facebook pages to discuss this update and other news. &#x26;#13;
