Tactical Vengeance01.04.2025 18:00 GMT Hello and welcome back to another Forgotten Hope 2 update. Today we are glad to announce that our White Wizard has done his magic : A new point-earning system for the Commander role, depending on the performance of the squad leaders in executing orders and on kill points from the regular soldiers. Earning a certain amount of points will unlock special abilities, working similarly to our current artillery strike. A Commander will now be able to call new assets like a Goliath, a B-17 carpet bombing or a V-1 Flying Bomb. In 1940, the Lufwaffe was sponsoring projects for precision attack missiles. Based on Paul Schmidt’s pulse jet engine, Engineer Dr. Fritz Gosslau at Argus Motoren Company started implementing a pulse jet engine on a remote-controlled unmanned aircraft. Two years later Robert Lusser from Fieseler joined Gosslau in a collective effort to design a flying bomb. Named "Kirschstein" (Cherry Stone) or Fi 103, the bomb consisted of a aircraft-shaped metal body with a pair of wings made of plywood. Powered by an Argus 109-014 pulse jet above the tail and launched by catapult, the bomb carried an 850 Kg Amatol warhead. With a maximum range of 240 km, the launching sites had to be located close to Great Britain in Western occupied Europe and Northern Germany, but it could also be launched from beneath flying He 111H bombers. Mass production started in mid 1943 but was heavily disrupted by Allied bombings, forcing the relocation of the production in undeground plants in March 1944. The Fi103 was employed as a terror weapon and designed for attacks against city-targets like London, Antwerp & Liege, causing tens of thousands of civilian casualties. The Fi 103 was known in German propaganda as V-1, V standing for "Vergeltungswaffe" (revenge weapon). Around 30 000 V-1’s were produced. Ours was made by Matt Baker. April Fools! That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next time for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our Discord, our public forums, our subreddit, and/or Facebook pages to discuss this update and other news. |
