Forgotten Hope News Update: 6th August 2008

[[79th]Sgt-D]

Why not a fix loading era for the Stuka zu Fuss? Located in the mainbase or on main flags? One or two salvoes then you have to get back to load another six or twelve shells.

It was nearby the case for the Katiouchas in FH1 after two salvoes (except there were plenty of ammoboxes in FH1).

Really a nice update!

The Stuka zu Fuss will be doing hell blasts with its HE or NAPALM (!) ammo!

Some ideas:

It would be sweet, if the Hanomag would have a sound like the one in SPR.

And the Kuebelwagen should have the sound of a Kaefer. :/



Go on for a new piece of master work!

uhm, never thought about this... did the kuebelwagens have the same engine configuration as the VW?
the Kaefer has a very distinctive engine sound, especially after you've owned one (<3! actually mine was a 1303 though) for years, but that's due to its engine + silencer (muffler) combo. Without the silencer the noise it make is much less pleasant

Nice update as always, however I will mention that most other updates have been better, as this one isn't really showcasing anything new, just modifications to existing equipment. Awesome to see a peek at whats coming in normandy nevertheless though. I have a feeling the devs are working on a big surprise for us soon, and I'm guessing player models, because they have to be added at some point.

The sdkfz is COMPLETE New.

I have to say, you guys make a real good job!.. man, those modelds looks like in real life! you didnt miss a detail! when i see them.. i say "Im glad to known this guys!".

The Storch needs something, not the model, need a little history on that description, it says

"The constant bombing of airfields and complete allied air superiority meant that there wasn't much that could be done to counter the allied advancements. Although these conditions obviously put restrictions on the use of planes in general, the Storch it was still used in Normandy."

It doesnt says the "Main Goal" of the aircraft, i think its Recon, but maybe its a lighty armoured attack aircraft, or even a fighter!.. so whats the main goal of the Fi-156 Storch?

storch is pure recon plane
most of them were unarmed some got equipped with a rear MG for self defense (like in stuka stuka)

Also liaison plane, but that's outside the scope of FH2 (I think... unless on a very specific map)

[Uberhauptstormfuhrer]

Was it really impossible to use the old 251? or did you used parts of it?
It seems soo inefficient...
