The Road to Forgotten Hope 2.53 Part 4

Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update.

Today we are showing off a final render before tomorrow's big update!

The AVT-40 is a select fire modification to the Soviet SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle. A thicker stock and a slightly modified muzzle break were added to counteract the extra force of fully automatic fire, but the rifle proved difficult to control and suffered from frequent breakages. Put into production in May 1942 to supplement the shortage of light machineguns, it was out of production again by the following summer. Our AVT-40 has been made by Seth Soldier.

Finally today, we'd like to list some of the changes in version 2.53:

1 New Nation:
