Lightweight

Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. This week we've got 2 renders for you. One of the American M3 Binoculars and one of the American M5A1 Light Tank. We have also added last week's Purple Heart Lane to the maps section on our website, together with a picture of the much requested minimap.

Read the rest of this update on our website.

Looking forward to raping Tigers in ma brand new M5...if I had BF2 and had the mad skillz necessary for such a feat.

 Just an improved version of the Stuart which was used in a reconnaissance role. That slope should improve front armour strength.

 Nice looking update, thanks for posting the minimap of purple heart, I am curious how it will play out compared to the real story that night.

 When do we see the infantry that gets attached to those binoculars?

he did have a chance, ramming a Tiger with 0.1 health.

that thing won't even beat a puma i guess.

I'd say its not a bad match for a Puma. And VonMudra, I'm betting I could pierce a Tiger's armor with little difficulty if I hit it from dead above. Arnhem with an M5 on the roof, anyone?

They both can kill each other with ease, but the puma would be faster.

Also, yeah, sure, if you get a roof shot, you can kill anything with anything pretty much.  But normal battle, you're dead even if your at the rear or side armour.
