That's Not A Knife! - A Forgotten Hope 2 Update

[Hauggy]

I'm glad you guys like the uniforms! I figured they'd go slightly unnoticed with all the other updates this next patch is gonna have Thanks!

Does that mean there's even more updates coming and therefore more awesome stuff to be shown before the release ?
I hope other things got improved like some of the old weapons the luger comes to my mind and I saw the finns will get one.
I'm sure Seth soldier could do a masterpiece of a luger in no time.

Luger model was improved few patches ago.

Oh alright I was looking at the old render xD

Now, what really needs an overhaul very badly is the Webley Mk. VI. A re-skin of the SMLE would be wonderful, too. Somehow it seems a little bit artificial as of now, yet I cannot precisely tell why. Re-loading animations more in line with those of the G41 would be a valuable addition, too. The tip of the cartridge must be lifted for reliable loading.

The Boys AT rifle's animations are quite robotic and the bi-pod folds in after every shot.

I know that the developers are busy with other things, yet would I consider these to be quite pressing suggestions, too.

We don't really have an abundance of animators atm though sadly.

Chad509 has been away for a long time now...

Anyways, I love the new textures, awesome job Matt!

[Zoologic]

Yes, this is gorgeous.

Love it!

Ah well, Chad, my dear fellow, do you have PayPal  ?

By the way, the New Zealandean soldiers wear the very same uniform, so replacing the in-correct KD uniforms on Mount Olympus with the new improvised Service Dress would be accurate indeed. As soon as available, the slouch hat should be replaced with the New Zealandean "Lemon Squeezer" hat.

I do not want to be callous, but the current Khaki Drill uniforms are wrong, the mystery jacket should be replaced with a regular Khaki Drill shirt. Here is a WPG made shirt as a reference: http://onlinemilitaria.net/images/Aertex_Shirt.jpg

It would be nice to have the full sleeve length on some soldiers, preferably on the NCOs.

Again, I would like to thank you sincerely for this grand new addition to the Commonwealth forces and hope that once time permits, my suggestions may be considered.

Very good point kls94 !

I found a very well documented article with different pictures of uniforms and hats, you even have a pic of a Maori unit doing the haka in the desert.

Having at least an alternative hat would be great.

Thank you, Hauggy! I wish I could mod, there is so much that I would want to see improved with regards to the Commonwealth, but the man power just is not there. I would also like to thank you for your link, there were some interesting photographs on it!

[Hauggy]

You are welcome.

I really believe you have some great ideas, the iconic hat would make the kiwis unique, now the question is will this suggestion make it's way to an enthousiast dev? Let's hope so, at least they got documentation.

Finally, we get Gurkhas in North Africa!

Or a very nice Soviet knife 

Here's hoping for Indians eventually.  Actually, could the MEC models be the basis for Indian soldiers?

Lemon Squeezer's have been on the to-do list for a while. It all comes down to someone willing to model it

As for the New Zealanders' uniforms; WW1 Service Dress would be correct for early Greece, and they also would be grey?
Also, the utility straps (to carry the equipment) what color would those be? Green?

Any reenactment pictures? or things like that in color?

EDIT: Actually, doing more research they may be almost exactly the same aside from the shoulder boards and hats

So you shouldn't forget the south african then
