Light ordnance

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. We would like to start the update with a download suggestion for Forgotten Hope 0.7 players. Forgotten Honor presents a new map pack for Forgotten Hope for Battlefield 1942(tm) featuring 6 maps. This should help shorten the wait for the upcoming Forgotten Hope 2. For more information on their tournament you should give their page a visit! You can download the map pack here.

The first item for today's news is the Flugabwehrkanone 38. It was modeled and skinned by Jodonnell. The Flak 38 was designed in 1939 as the successor to the Flak 30 and entered service in 1940. It quickly became the most common light anti-aircraft gun of the German armed forces. To enhance its mobility it could be either towed or mounted on a vehicle. The Sonderanhänger 52 and the Flakpanzer 38 (t) are only two examples. The following in-game screenshots feature the 1st person view, gunsight and wreck.

Next item for today is the Cruiser Mk VI tank, better known as the Crusader I and sometimes considered the most important British tank for the North African campaign. More than 5,300 were built in total and the early version saw action first in Operation Battleaxe. This version was modelled by Montoya and OMNI and skinned and normal mapped by AaronAsh. The improved late version with new sideskirts and mantlet was modelled by OMNI, skinned by AaronAsh and Lobo, normal mapped by AaronAsh and got the tracks from Jimbob and Montoya.

That's all for today, but be sure to come back next week for another Forgotten Hope update. And don't forget to join us on IRC. Feel free to visit our public forums to discuss this update or other news.
