Awesome. Are the camo units SS units? Are SS markings in this game or not?From what i know about Fh there wont be any ss markings anywhere, but you never know, i could be wrong.
Meh, i really dont care if the uniforms are accurate. They look just fine to me and i cant wait to see them in-game.
I see what you say, however its a minor detail that could be changed in a follow up patch so as not to delay release. Most people wont even know the diffenece. ;)Meh, i really dont care if the uniforms are accurate. They look just fine to me and i cant wait to see them in-game.
Its the principal of the damn thing. They were correct in FH1, why can't they be correct in FH2? The mod is about realism on equipment, no? Then why should it be allowed for them to make up camo schemes, and completely leave absent camo from an entire service branch that used them with regularity?
Well its something that's not too hard to fix.... If they have the model for the tunic done, they just need to do the texturization for correct Dot44 (if that's still what they want to use....)Im not saying it shouldnt be fixed, just that i would not want it to delay release by even one day.
Even then, the Heer still are lacking the camo smocks, and the helmets are lacking any of the camo that was religiously applied.
No, A-tree, the problem isn't a less used camo. Its that that camo pattern never EXISTED. There is no such thing as the camo pattern ingame there. It looks like a bastard child of fall oak camo and dot 44.
Yes, he is.Hmm thats rather interesting because I remember hearing somewhere that because of them having a large German player base, the FH Dev team said that they couldn't/wouldn't use the SS in the mod. Perhaps i heard wrong, or something has changed.
ahh second! wonder if camo will work?

Then explain the right collar on this gentleman. I give you Exhibit A::o

:oAccording to the Strafgesetzbuch § 86a the Sig rune as used by the SS is one of the illegal symbols.
maybe they don't want the illegal symbols in germany and SS wasn't one of them.
So what is Lightning's new avatar supposed to be? I know that his last one was either:
a) Lightning fleeing from a lynch mob after a particularly brutal dreamcrush or
b) Lighting pouncing on someone's unsuspecting dream.
But what is this new avatar?
...FH has always been about dead-on historical accuracy. They've been absolutely true to that point in FH2 thus far, so I have every confidence that if it's wrong, the FH team will change it!Sorry to burst the bubble but...
The exception to this rule however is the L4 Grasshopper currently ingame in North Africa.To the dev teams credit they acknowledge this and other historical inaccuracies:
I actually suggested doing a Westland Lysander, but since it was considered 'low priority' and we already had the piper from FH1, which was good enough quality for FH2, it was decided to put it in FH2, rather than making a whole new model.Reference:
It's unfortunate, but there are more examples of placeholders in FH2, mainly on the early Africa maps, like Siege of Tobruk (should not have a Panzer III J (e)) or Bardia and Siege of Giarabub (should not have ANY German equipment).
As far as I can think of at the moment though, we do not have any placeholders in Normandy.
It looks like a bastard child of fall oak camo and dot 44.Well, Zero might have wanted to mix a few different camo patterns to make one hybrid one since they would only be limited to one pattern without doing ungodly amounts of work that would go largely unnoticed.
Why then wouldn't he just go with oak camo, the most common camo used by the SS in normandy, and everywhere else?Because others were used?
Alright, I'll bite. What the fuck is a 'lafette'?(http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/screenshotsfh2/081015LafetteMG42.jpg)
Since I'm on mobile internet I'm pretty much having a hassle to wite anything at all and can't back up what I say with pictures atm, neither I can see the pictures you posted. But let me explain how this specific camo pattern was created, to proof it is right. It has been made by me using a picture of the back of a original dot camo jacket. Since no Zeltbahn exists in that pattern, the jacket is where you find the biggest piece of uncut cloth. I copied that pattern and created one layer for every color used in the pattern. With those layers it is easy for the texture artist to adjust the colors to his needs. Since no material with a full patch of that camo is available the one we use is a little bit more repeative than the original and has some little elements that I had to made up to get the texture seamless. Besides that is the most accurate dot pattern I have seen in any game.
To come back to the color used on the playermodel I can say that I have seen more than enough pictures and real uniforms to say that a uniform with heavyly faded out colors pretty much looks like that.
I neither do like that it is so much worn, but the artist perfetly knows how a brand new piece looks ke and how used pieces look like. Everything else is up to him and his choice.
I can undrstand why you are nagging about the look, but I can't undrstand why you have to come up with stuff like no homework done and things beeing completely inaccurate and think that the way you try to "help" us is just disrespectful to anybody who spent any time to make those models happen.
it is a real camo, it does exist. even if some dislike it's current color state.

Again I give reference to Strafgesetzbuch § 86a
They are stripes, not runes.I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but I still say under magnification they definitely seem to have 'kinks' in them that make them look like SS runes.

I tried it myself. The colar is sloped, together with the camera angle and jpg compression it can give this impression. Shows how much perspective can affect things. On the texture, they are completely innocent stripes. If they were runes, it would be much more obvious.Well i'm mostly satisfied with that explanation (by mostly I mean as in ideally I'd like to see the texture up close without the variables you mentioned above).

there will NEVER be revive in FH2, medics are mostly useless in the game you either die from 1 hit or you dont and then take your bandage and die from the next hit.
a medic could only heal you and for this he would have to be at right place in the right time and you have to survive the initial hit.
as the medic kits that are ingame now (yes there are a few) only have pistols makes them not very worthy for combat.
Excellent update. I even had the patience to read through all posts in this thread.

Some one was saying we can expect a release this month, is this any indication of this?No, the general feeling coming from those devs prepared to talk about it points to a release no earlier than about late august.
What makes u say that? Its just a normal stahlhelm=/In this projection, it looks exactly like WW1 helmet.
In our next release, we will have as many as 14 new German player models; one model for each class, both regular and camouflaged.
Awesome work guys. I really like the idea of different uniforms for different battles such as largely plain grey for the ost truppen and the more camouflaged uniforms for the normal divisions, Airborne and SS. Cant wait for the americans and british hopefully they will have differences two. Awesome work zeno really ;)
Are there SS-runes on the most-left soldier´s collar patch?
Alright, so no Nazi smybols, but what exactly is on his collar patch? ;)
No. Check page 6.

Pretty awesome to forbid several letters of an alphabet. :P
I mean, the peace-symbol comes from that alphabet. But well.
But on the other hand they abuse "innocent" symbols for their cause e.g. the Reichskriegsflagge or invent new symbols....
It's important, those Nazis are just waiting to crawl out of their bunkers once the symbols are legalized.
I see a german medic in the render pics. So what will the medics do in 2.2? What special items or abilities do they have?I guess same as in 2.0 - 2.15

Pointed out that no one made any remarks about the rifles when they do make remarks on the slightest other details, and knowing the people on these forums, its quite surprising there wasnt a mention about them, yet. Just something I noticed.
They do, they are in FH2 since 2.0. Just not on any maps as it was issued mid-war for the first time.
These tight images of a German Anti-Armor Panzerschreck team are just for the render right? I mean you won't actually need two people to man it...? (would be awesome if it was though ;D )Unfortunately, theres no two man shreck/bazooka teams (unless players choose to operate as such a unit, which to me would be brilliant, one man to fire its, another man to cover him, or even possibly to provide him with ammo?).
They're SS alright.
Which brings me to my question....why are there no Heer troops with splinter or tan/water camo.... Or even any camoed helmets for them. I see a couple helmet nets, but without foilage, that doesn't do anything o_O Also, dot44 was rather uncommon in normandy, compared to oak and plane tree. And I even gotta say...the Dot44 camo isn't even right. It looks like someone turned fall Oak into a dot pattern....=/
All in all, its good work...but I'm sorry to say, someone didn't do their homework on the camo=/ Plain and simple....the camo patterns are horrible wrong, and several incredilby important ones are missing entirely. If you're gonna give the SS just one single camo type, then at least get that camo type correct. And even then, you're still missing the Heer's camo.
Also, is that a Gibirgsjager patch I see on the schreck loader?
Toddel,
Im sure knofhof is a military nerd and knows a great deal of stuff, but if you've noticed VonMudra also knows a hell of a lot of stuff about WWII, especially on the Wehrmacht if i'm not mistaken. He's already admitted that after looking closely he saw hints of green in the pattern that would make it legit if it was darker. Yes, he did explode at first but if i had been looking forward to a mod release for so long and just learned the uniforms would be incorrect on a historical realism mod, I can't blame him. He's very appreciate for most everything else with the uniforms and all that's come prior, especially his lafette, i'm sure the only reason hes mad is that people tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about so they can cover up a minor mistake when he's an expert in that field. For example, im a mechanic and when my friends at school see me jump someone off in the parking lot and tell me i do it wrong, i went to do a peel-out on there face. Same kinda thing if i'm not mistaken. No offense to anyone, I just see where VonMudras coming from here.
Very nice, it seems like the discussion about the made up, incredibly wrong camo pattern is over and all of a sudden it is a good pattern that just needs to have some colors tweaked to suit our tastes.Seeing as it was only one person who came out a bit strong.. I would say you are overeating abit.
The other accusation of the colors beeing wrong can easily be debilitate by taking a closer look at the worn uniform, von Mudra was kind enough to show us.
As we can see, on the right side of the jacket (except on the pockets),the fabric is heavily faded. If we compare this fabric with the one on the renders and kindly disregard color nuances beeing slightly different it does look very close if not the same.
To close this case from my side I want to tell you that I'm always open for critizism but only if it is brought to me in a civil manner. What was happening here was way over the top and for me it sounded like big ignorance and disrespect of the work we did, making me think about why I'm even spending my time on modding for such people.
The bad thing of the moderator work is that I can't reply to individuals like VonMudra with the colourful language they deserveI'll do that for you.

Honestly, I was amazed at the immaturity in this thread.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!
This thread has gone from awesome to argument and now to argument why other people are arguing.
I was going to write something epic here about how we should all get along, but I simply can't be bothered.
Just stop bickering.. Just enjoy the new update, and if you find something wrong, try PM-ing the devs or make a well presented post about it.
Ok Sheik, it's the very language barrier your speaking about that just happened. The people here are too teenaged and European, read that line, it sounds like you think your continent is superior.
Now please go on and reach your goal with swearing, I don't need it.
Oh and congrats, you just parcipated in the sadness you rant about.
Maybe others don't get the intent behind your lines, something for in the future.Ok Sheik, it's the very language barrier your speaking about that just happened. The people here are too teenaged and European, read that line, it sounds like you think your continent is superior.

I bloody well wrote the line, I should have some idea of the intent behind my words.
To clarify my position, it has nothing to do with "my continent". It has everything to do with people who don't fully understand a language (this means you Fuchs, you little spammer). I am not trying to belittle your knowledge of the English language but I am challenging your level of comprehension which I find to be somewhat lacking.
(personally Fuchs, I find you overpost on these forums (you have 1200 posts out of 17,000 total on this forum) and this over-exertion leads to you being somewhat summary in your opinion of the matters at hand.)
On the side matter of my language, you say I have a potty mouth, well you should meet my sister someday, she curses a streak so blue that Lainer would fall in love (if he wasn't married already ;D).
All in all, what should have been an epic thread has turned into a dogpile of the handful of usual suspects which IMO is bloody pathetic and exemplary of the juvenile attitude of most FH2 fans of late. Although, I still blame it partly on the forum switch from Filefront as the mojo here on WD-40 is bad and way too aggressive-minded.
Again great update and I hope we get a release soon because I desperately want to play with a crop of new fans who don't nitpick about my PG-13 language or obsess over the colour of a bloody smock. This is a game, for fun, and it should always be treated as such.
The moment we all start getting too serious is when the game stops being fun for the rest.
To be honest I'm not quite sure how this thread got to this point.
Let's recap.
1) Von Mudra offered constructive criticism to the devs about how to possibly improve the Normandy skins for the German player models.
2) His advice was taken differently by different devs, but overall it was accepted and appreciated.I don't think anyone appreciated the tone, no. If they didn't address that then it was simply because they wanted to be mature about it, wincing only on the inside
*NOTE* This should have been the end of it. Instead, we're here:
3) ZOMFG d00d Fh iz teh pwn and uu suuuuuuuck!!!11 fux u n00bz wtfBBQzroflmaostfu!!1
^ this is an exaggeration but you get my point.
So, now that the matter has been settled and that we all realize that no one wants to lock a media update thread, why don't we all just calm down, and if you don't have something to say about the media update, don't say anything at all!
I think this update is a very welcome June 6th - Better, had no one spoilt the surprise though - AND they still said 'Next week' at the end...Whii!It was very obvious that playermodels were coming over this weekend, the suprise however was wether they would be DE or US. And I hope 'next week' means this wednesday ;)

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today we have more amazing things, as we are showing the renders of the new German player models. In our next release, we will have as many as 14 new German player models; one model for each class, both regular and camouflaged.
Read the rest of this update on our website (http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/main.php?lang=english&id_news=288).
(Two hours late, sorry for that.)
Q: Are the camouflaged Germans the Waffen-SS?
A: Yes and no. The Waffen-SS is a criminal organisation in Germany and to portray them in a way that might seem like glorifying them (such as playing them in a video game without proper historical context) is not allowed. For this reason you will never see any mention of the SS in game and the collar tabs have two lines on them, instead of the infamous (and forbidden) sig runes. The models themselves are, of course, based on SS uniforms.
Dont take this as an official inquiry, but are you guys taking on any more mappers?
Not really different. Just better equipment and more Splittertarn camo smocks/trousers and helmet covers then regular divisions. The Ostbatallions barely got Splittertarn smocks except for their ponchos/tents. But no SS camouflage or anything, just Heer. And ofcourse that swamp coloured stuff with red/terra colours instead of Splittertarn.
A book I´ve got says the Lehr Divison used the field grey Panzer-crew-style jacket for it´s grenadiers, so what TS said might be correct.
A piece of art, you guys did a good job, realy like the camo.
1 question.... will the StGw 44 be available within the Normandy campagn,
cos, my gues it wasnt on hand at the time :-\?
anyway great update
cheers
Question pls:-) iff posible
I seem to recall that i read somwere a long time ago that the Bazooka and the panzerfaust whas kits you cut select to spawn with and the panzserschreak whas a pick up weapon aswell like the StG44?
ohh and Kev4000 sins the StG44 is your favorite weapon perhabs you can answer me this does the gun kick like hell? i mean hard to control on full automatic fire?
why not giving them the Beretta M38 on some maps (pickup)?
when all of you have it on your HHDs ;D

If they counter is on the FH2 main page, does that mean an update is today? I've never quite figured this out.The counter is allways there. It just shows the time (GMT). Sometimes it takes ageas to load though, so you might not see it then. I've never seen the mystical countdown timer that appears shortly before updates.

Probably noone would care.
In the worst case, people would start to orientate on these numbers, and press all of their life's in those fixed numbers, setting up all their things after them. That would be horrible, a life in a cage.

Haha. Very funny. Next person to steal my avatar dies...

Which model of helmet is this?m42 (http://www.german-helmets.com/HEER%20M1942%20Helmets.htm), has an unrolled edge (oppose to the DAK m40 ingame)
the Rad's German models for the DAKi made them as well
No one paid any attention how there are no hoops on the k98's frontsights at all? :Ptraitor! (just imported the wrong one accidentally for the render)
2) Are we seeing 2 variants of face; heavier set for superiors it appears, and slimmer for lower ranks?2)3 faces. 2 regular faces and an NCO(older, with scarf)
3) Could the leaves be for say, sniper kits and perhaps yet another model (Some bocage maps or something)?
Interesting, how much time did takes to build those beautiful models?long enough. lq model->uv->zbrush->update/fix lq model/uv->bake->make variations->make textures->so on. apart from the main model there are also the unseen things. optimizing the final in-game UV and texture, LODs, weighting the model to bones, exporting, setting up code(thank remdul and our coders[kev, ctz] as well). repeat for each model.
perhaps it was made too obvious. btw, p08the medic even looks pissed,cause he knows that his kit sucks ;DEven with all the flame crap in this thread this had me laughing the hardest. I mean he has to stand in the same pic with Mr.STG and Mr.Faust holding his gay ass little P38. I would be pissed as well!

On a related note, how is the FG42 distributed? Is it limited spawnable for FJG (if so in which class slot) or pickup only?
On maps with fallschirmjäger it replaces the MG34.
Oh God! My Precious... :) But i would be better if instead assault troops with Kar98k make troops with FG42...
FG's designers plan was to be the FG substitute for Kar98k.

Yes indeed.The recoil is sideways on the FG42? What causes this?
The recoil on the FG42 is sideways, which is horrible to control.
The recoil is sideways on the FG42? What causes this?The side mounted magazine and in line stock are the main cause of this.
It was supposed to replace service rifles, SMG's and LMG/universal MG's in FJ units. But it was far too rare to be given for riflemen in FH2.
i like the sideways recoil nice to mow down groupsgood god!
but mostly i use it in single shot mode or just fire 1 shot. as it uses same ammo as the k98 it is also as deadly.
NO INFANTRY WEAPON ismore deadly than a MG42 (well maybe the flamethrower ;))I´d love to see the flamer in action. Is there any way I can find out your adress and break into your house to play the beta just to see it? ::)

And that's why riflemen should not have it.

So... what's the issue then?On maps with fallschirmjäger it replaces the MG34.

;D
I think somebody said something about a flame-thrower on point du hoc, could be wrong though.Well, sounds logical, an assault map with bunkers and loads of places to clear, plus theres a US flamethrower in the weapons section on the website, so 2 + 2 = **** yeh
Keep in mind that there are at least 5 more maps than they're telling us.
Update:
It's not coming out until/after August.
...and thus the "Until/After" part.
God! I hope they will cause i love FT and the smell of napalm in the morning ;)

Kelmola--Winter War Thread, P.3
I am already regretting for not saving the pictures and/or the thread, but once upon a time on 4chan there was a thread full of win, where an American weapons collector presented his newly acquired L-39 in glorious detail. (People were naturally shocked just by seeing the sheer size of that thing...)
no, It's just a picture of Stalin. Bobbing his head to techno music. Thorondor showed it to me, and I thought iw as funny. The link's dead now. Oh, well.Yeah, blame me :I
And anyway, who needs a springfield when you have a P17?
I have one qeustion still about the update wich one is the officer?

He is a Unterfeldwebel indeed which does not match the ingame Unteroffizier as squadleader. Hm.Unteroffizier simply means NCO in this case. It doesn't refer to the specific rank.

IIRC those were lost in a HDD crash?
However, one of the devs said they had all the playermodels & other stuff they'd need ready.
What needs to be done untill they release 2.2?That depends on what you want in it.
My guess would be polishing and balancing, mainly. And that sure is a helllotof work.Actually that's not right. Stuff is being added all the time. For example, the items from today's news; the churchill has only been ingame for a few days and has not been properly tested. The 155mm GPF isn't in game yet at all. Also, as you may have noticed by spying on our test server, we added another brand new map that hadn't been tested yet at all.
Ok, I thought I was clear enough to avoid confusion. Let me rephrase:
In Forgotten Hope 2, where it says "unteroffizier" in the German class menu, we mean it as a general term for NCOs, not as the German rank of unteroffizier. While we acknowledge that such a rank does exist in the modern German army and existed in the German army of the third reich, that is not what it means in this specific case of the class menu.

A post by a fan hoping for FJ models does not confirm that FJ models are in development.
I for one would also appreciate it if you would not type messages all in caps, it looks like you are shouting.
Yeah but, please, dont it again ok?SO THERE WILL BE FALLSCHRIMJEGERS? ;D :o :o :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You're like a little kid trying to get attention... sorry but i had to say it ::)
Peace
man i was SHOUTING :P
i just thought i was missing something great ::)
Wait, so what was gefrieter? Lance-corporal?He is a Unterfeldwebel indeed which does not match the ingame Unteroffizier as squadleader. Hm.Unteroffizier simply means NCO in this case. It doesn't refer to the specific rank.
Um, no, Unteroffizer is a rank in the German army to this day. In WW2, it was essentially the rank of Sergeant (though British historians have yet to figure that out, usually labeling it as Corporal, which is a gross error in judgement, considering the fact that the Unteroffizer was the squad CO, while Obergefreiter was the XO, and duly the corporal)
(http://www.luftwaffe39-45.historia.nom.br/hauptfeldwebel.jpg)
Here you see a Hauptfeldwebel in the Luftwaffe on the left, the cuff tress and his booklet clearly visible. He holds the normal rank of Oberfeldwebel.
