Welcome back for another update as we continue to polish off the internal version of Forgotten Hope, in order to create a better gaming experience!


Today we have two new vehicles to show off, plus some varied camo skins!.


The first vehicle we're showing off today is the german Elefant, modeled by Lude and skinned by Armin Ace! This german mobile gun featured 200mm armor and its main armament consisted of an 8.8cm gun, and a bow mg34 on later models. This vehicles first action was seen at the battle of Kursk.



The second vehicle we have to show off for today is the German Jagdpanzer IV/70 modeled by Omni and skinned by AceS. This was one of Germanys later war tank destroyers, featuring a 7.5cm PaK L/70 main gun, it served in the Ardennes Offensive in 1944 and later.

Below we have two renders, showing off the wreck model, and 3 camo schemes that have been made for it. And to top it all off, two ingame screenshots of this vehicle!

Yet again we have another great update for the upcoming release of Forgotten Hope!


First up today we'd like to showcase two new renders of equipment you'll see quite soon. The Paratooper version of the m1 carbine done by Master Minder, Razor, and Lobo. The second render we have is of a new vehicle, the Sherman Jumbo, a modified Sherman tank done by Lobo.

The Jumbo was a modified sherman M4A3, these modifications included reinforced frontal armor, and the addition of the 76mm cannon. These tanks gave the Americans an armoured boost after the landings in Normandy.


   


Also for today we have several shots of another of our new maps to be included. Below, feast your eyes upon Beregil's latest creation, Operation Nordwind 1944.

Welcome back folks for another update as we approach our massive internal testing phase to work out all of those kinks to ensure that the next release of Forgotten Hope is as best as it can be.


Today we have one new vehicle render to show off, this time it is the newly redone M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer, redone by zero in order to greatly improve the look, and performance of this vehicle!





We would also like to showcase one of our newest level creations that will be included in the next release, Tarawa! Between November 20th and the 23rd the United States Second Marine division assaulted this small atoll in the Betio Island chain. This small island was the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Following an immense naval bombardment that was supposed to obliterate the 4,700 Japanese defenders, the Marines made their landings. The first day of the assault saw the Marines being caught in shallow water against a fortress of Japanese machine guns, pill boxes, and tunnels. However with reinforcements the following day the 2nd Marine division was able to take the island by the 23rd. Casualties were immense for both sides, with the Marines suffering 3000 casualties, and of the 4700 Japense defenders, only 17 survived the battle.


Below we have 6 screen shots of this new addition to the Forgotten Hope Mod created by Dime a Dozen with tons of custom statics done by Lobo and D_Fast.
