King and church(ill) in one news title?
That can only mean one thing:
Finally Churchills for africa!
Kingforce equipped with churchills III for El Alamein!
If I am right,
TheTA will go crazy :P
-
... sit and start "smoking" chocolate cigar ...
Well , THETA and humble me was always fighting for Churchill tanks for Africa 8) , so ours dreams come true ? ;D
-
Would love to blow up a churchill in Afrika on an other map with Tiger for the Germans.
-
But ... IF they put a Churchill tank for Africa , do we gonna see a reskinned old Churchill Mk IV from Normandy or totaly new Churchill Mk III ? ... damn thats havocking my nerves ... :-\
-
I bet Priest and/or Sexton

actually the differences between those two are minor so reskin only wouldn't be a deadly sin
-
Still no comment from Theta0? I think he fell into unconsciousness when he read that.
-
Nope I banned him.
-
Nope I banned him.
Me Gusta :D
-
Nope I banned him.
Your kidding!?
-
Nope I banned him.
Good riddance.
-
I never kid. I banned him so he has some time to cool off after todays news. Otherwise we will be swimming in bad accent based humour and girlish screams around here.
-
You ruined all my fun Ts... :(
-
The website didnt' crash ;D
-
Beautiful
-
Our first render of today is of a British tank that holds a special place in the Forgotten Hope community, having been suggested heavily by the community.
I didn't know that THeTAO is now referred to as "the community." ::)
Otherwise epic update, I can't wait to blast some Panzers with that beauty...
P.S. MOAR British bias please! We had enough of the same old Axis bias every time :P
-
So Theta asks if the ban can be removed. Anyone for this? He promises to be civil.
-
Lift Theta's ban, ban Moose.
-
Well ok he gets off this time.
edit: lol double meaning
-
oh ffs, beat ya too it Ts. I'd quite like to see this...

best come back post ever....
-
Bravo, well done Devs with the Churchill and epic comeback post...
-
EPIC!! I LOL-ed so hard at the banthingy, I'm still lacking oxygen as I write this...
-
lol
I have to say this is one of the best update threads I have seen in quite a while!
-
read the update from facebook.. when i read it i was like.. hmm..churchill? i was right!
-
so on what maps will this GORGEOUS beauty be placed!
El alamein for sure right? but then we need flak 88's at kidney ridge
at kidney ridge IRL, not even those things penetrated the front armour of churchill

so will the MKIII have its correct ammo layout? Not the still incorrect MKIV ammo amount? ;D
-
Niiiiiiiiiiiice to see a new Churchill, and I hope that TheTa will not make an overdose of emotions in front of this :P
-
Best update in quite a while! This will make North Afrika quite interresting again. It will definately create some hardcore tankbattles there. Never seen combinations like Marder II, Panzer III and Stukas vs Churchills.
So will there be both versions - the 6 pounder and the 75mm - on El Alamein?

It wont get fixed, and there wont be any 88s. There is method in the madness.
-
Great update, the more North African equipment the better!
Other than that, great thread to read through it had it all, 5 out of 5.
-
Tiger's in need ;)
-
MOAR FOOD FOR DADDY
(Tiger)
-
Nice! Great update! Gave me a good laugh here! :D
-
Good stuff!
Nice to see that Toddel's magic is still alive. ;D
-
What an amazing tank ! It seems to look particularly chunky for some reason and the texturing is very good. There's some nice "corroded steel" effects on there adding to that tank factor ;D
-
Looks splendid. As always, many thanks Devs and Beta Testers for a wonderful update. 8)
-
Great render, as always.
How many people are still playing? Every time I try to play there are about 6 people playing, which with a game like this is just not enough people to stay entertained. :|
I miss the old FH1 days.
-
On euro evenings there's usually 2 to 3 full servers.
-
go and play instead of posting!!! there are 58ppl on hslan now :P
-

Btw. it´s Toddel MK. IV i did the whole retexturing, and all the changes + the New parts :p
But thanks :D

So the news update calls this an infantry tank, as in it mows down infantry or as you can hid you little butt behind this tank?
What kind of smoke screen can this one produce?
Love the update as always.

infantry tank goes with the infantry and provides support
These 2 breach a line in the enemies line
Cruiser tanks move in that breach and attack command posts and surprise buttsecks defenses
and it mows down infantry

Does it deliver Mattentaarten, then it's a winner :)
-

-
Sweet update. I always liked the Churchill...cant wait for the Black Prince that will come some day. 17 pounder+Churchill=Win.
-
LOL@the ban... ;D
I'm really looking forward to seeing the African Front... :P
;D

Yeah, and I´m looking forward to the Maus.
But seriously, I think those Churchills will end up as Stuka bait. Big, slow, and on El Alamein there´s no place to hide.
-
hahahah
hahahahah
Yeah right ;D
-
An 88 takes it out as good too.
-
hahahah
hahahahah
Yeah right ;D
Well that was a convincing argument :P
-

There are three 88s i can think of atm and they are in the very back/outskirts of the battlefield (1 in the base and 1 on the first german flag, 1 near the cliffs in the middle of nowhere). I doubt that most players in their Churchills will have the combination of patience/luck/skill to get there. But it looks like that only Stukas, Marders (Pzgr40) and Ladungs are going fight Churchills effectively. So some further 88s could be appropriate (without screwing the balance up for the other tanks, good luck).
-

At the ranges the Churchills of kingforce where, they dint.

English?

You forget the second 88 in the pass east of Miteriya Ridge, the one under the camouflage net that has at least a limited visibility to the northern desert, unlike the uncovered AA emplacement further south.
-
I think we both mean the same 88. With the 88 near the cliffs i meant the one on the right flank of the map - a pass if you want to call it that way. I just described it different. My point was that kidney ridge, the place where the famous engagement between Churchills and 88s took place doesnt have 88s, obviously for balance reasons. The 88s are placed on the periphery of the map. It will be hard to balance Churchills - by adding german counters - without making Crusaders and Shermans frustrating to play with.
-
No, we don't mean the same 88. There are two 88's in the pass/between the cliffs, one at the El Dhib flag ("first flag") and one in the mainbase (useless really since you are not allowed to attack main), for a total of four.
That said, the gap between Kidney and Miteriya ridges is and always has been the weak point. The 50mm guns on Kidney can't oneshot Crusaders and have trouble killing Shermans at all, so adding one "invulnerable" tank into the mix hardly matters. Climbing the Miteriya along the "spine" will be rather challenging with the Churchill, so it will trundle along two predictable routes, one of which has two 88's (the pass) and one of which can be blocked with Stukas and F2's/Marders (the Kidney gap).
-
Oh okay, I don´t know that 88 then, but I hardly use them on El Alamein anyways. Another thing aside: Were Panzer IV Ausführung G´s (with 80mm frontal armour) used in the 2nd Battle of El Alamein (23rd of October - 11th of November ´42)? I know the Germans started to produce them in May ´42 and i assume most of the Panzer IVs in North Afrika were still F1/2s, but would it be possible to add the Ausführung G on El Alamein?
Would be cool if the developers could "make" it - it´s still an increase of 60% - frontal armour.
-
no matter how tough your Churchill is, a good old landmine is going to mess it up.

Nope. But they did appeared in the tunesia campaign.
Limited numbers tough.....The Panzer III was the most common tank in NA.

Err I don't know if there will be news today. But if there are, they will come at around 2000 German time.

I guess I'll take over for Lightning and say that due to Theta and the mess he left all over this thread, there will not be any news this week. We are still cleaning up from last week.
-
lol call the kärcher crew
-
Oh come on :'(
-
I'm afraid nothing short of burning the thread down will clean that shit up.

So what you're saying is that Theta prematurely shot his wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so we're afraid we've got something of a mess on this thread?
