Forgotten Hope 2 is an award-winning World War II modification for Battlefield 2TM and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942TM, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942TM featured land, sea and air combat in a way never before seen. It was the goal of the development team to maximize the game experience by adding both a realistic and enjoyable gameplay to FH and now to FH2.
Better known under its official nickname "Ferdinand", after its designer Ferdinand Porsche, it was based on the chassis of the failed Tiger (P) prototype. It was the first tank destroyer to mount the powerful 8.8cm Pak 43/2 gun, which was able to knock out even the heaviest of Allied tanks. It also boasted an impressive front armor of 200mm. However, several design flaws made it a less than successful design. It was very slow and lacked maneuverability. Since it had no machine gun, it was vulnerable to close assault by Soviet tank hunters and sappers.
Its a real monster!
Whoa! The Elefant!
This isn't quite the Elefant, since it is the earlier version used at Kursk. The Elefant was modified with a hull MG added.
Ohh. i don't know about that. I thought "Elefant" was always a nickname for it.
Before the MG Was put on, it was simply the Ferdinand. From Ferdinand Porsche
its ferdiant not elefant
explained already
This thing's really powerful looking. Soviet players are surely going to be afraid of it.
I believe the Nashorn came slightly (matter of months) before, and was the first vehicle to mount the long 88. You might want to throw the Nashorn in on the maps were a Ferd would be too powerful, and as an added bonus it could be integrated on some Italian maps too!
built on Tiger porche chassis, Real monster
Looks very juicy for AT infantry! :)
