Forgotten Hope News Update: 7th June 2009: Infanterie Greift An!

[508th PIR Hawkeye]

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.

 Are the US playermodels allready in progress?

[Schneider]

I guess they're already done.

[Ts4EVER]

Not sure about that.

[Big Lebowski]

Rad showed off some american player models a long time ago. Dont know if they will be used or some others are in the making.. they looked good to me.

[Schneider]

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.

Thanks for the answers and I ment NCO anyway I was sure about the FJ one but not about the heer one since there was no clear assault kit shown like the stg44 for the FJ. (at leas I think thats the assault kit for the FJ correct me if I am wrong)

[Ts4EVER]

the camouflaged player models shown are not FJ but Waffen SS. Also the StG44 will probably not be the assault kit on account of it being rarely used in normandy.

The classes are:

Heer:
1st render:
- Scout (guy with the binoculars)
- Support (guy with the MG42)
- Engineer (guy loading the panzerschreck)
- Anti-tank (guy holding the panzerschreck)
2nd render:
- Rifleman (guy with the K98)
- NCO (guy with the MP40)
- Assault (guy with the grenade)

Waffen:
1st render:
- Scout (guy with the K98)
- Engineer (guy with the geballte ladung)
- Rifleman (guy with the G43)
- NCO (guy with the Mp40)
2nd render:
- Support (guy with the luger)
- Assault (guy with the StG44)
- Anti-tank (guy with the panzerfaust)

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)

[Lightning]

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.

Sweet, so this is a newbie question but I'll still ask it anyway; what needs to be done untill they release 2.2? (or what keeps them from releasing it...)
