I normally don't like these so called update announcements that only show off progress to an unannounced release. However Forgotten Hope 2 is an exception to the rule. Why because this mod is one of the better mods out there for any game IMO and they are moving to the Normandy Theater
Today we have renders of 3 more German vehicles for our Normandy Theater of War. The first of these is the Opel Blitz. This vehicle model is only slightly different from the Africa version, but it's got a brand new skin. The Opel Blitz was made by
Mange,
Jimbob and
Toddel.
Next up is the Schwimmwagen. You may remember this amphibious Volkswagen from Forgotten Hope 0.7. The Schwimmwagen was originally made by
Rad, updated for use in Forgotten Hope 2 by
Toddel and coded by
Gunnie.
The last renders for today are of the Tiger I (Late). This is not simply a reskin of the African Tiger; this is a completely new model. The easiest way to tell the difference between an early and a late tiger is by looking at the commander's cupola. The early Tiger I has a high drum cupola, whereas the late Tiger I has short cast cupola. The wheels are also significantly different, as the early Tiger I has 3 rubber-rimmed wheels per axle, while the late Tiger I has only 2 steel-rimmed wheels per axle. There are many more differences, so feel free to have a look at the render of the
Tiger I (early) again to see if you can spot them.
The Tiger I (Late) was modeled by
K96, skinned by
Toddel and coded by
ctz.
That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next time for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our
IRC channel and our
public forums to discuss this update and other news.
