Hello and welcome back to another update of Forgotten Hope. Today's news item is no doubt the most requested and anticipated vehicle for Forgotten Hope 2, so without further ado we would like to present the Tiger!

As you can tell from its sand-coloured skin, this is the early Tiger I model, which was used in North Africa. In patch 2.15 you will be able to find this vehicle on the Mareth Line map. The Tiger was modeled by K96, skinned by Toddel and coded by ctz.
The development of the Tiger I started in May 1941, when the order was given to Porsche and Henschel to design a heavy tank that used the 88mm KwK L/56. Over a year later in July 1942 when both prototypes were tested the Henschel Tiger proved to be the better one and was approved for production. Only two Heavy Tank Battalions (the 501st and 504th) equipped with Tigers were sent to North Africa, having only 20 Tigers each. Although the first of these Tigers arrived in November of 1942, the last of them were still waiting to be shipped in Sicily when the Axis forces in North Africa Surrendered. Despite their small numbers, the Tigers in North Africa left a lasting impression on the allies forces.
That's all for this week, but be sure to come back next time for another update. Until then, feel free to visit our IRC channel and our public forums to discuss this update and other news.

Great model! Keep up the good work ;)

great job on the Tiger!
Orgasmic.
Don't the British get better/more tanks to counter that?
"A tiger, in Africa? sssh.." "A leg, your looking for a leg.. I think there is one in there somewhere..." hahaha... I am sure most of the current watchers would not have gotten the line... excellent work guys, a better Tiger I have never seen.... Tiger Brand Tea!
Monty Python much?
I don´t like the Tiger as much as the Panther (the Tiger looks like a shoebox) but it´s still an impressive tank! I can´t wait untill I can finaly command it and shock the Allied tankers :D
Finally! Happy tanking!
Mein Tiger is here kammerade!!! Hell yeah let the knightmares begin!
@ Hahaha you mean "Mein Tiger ist hier Kameraden!!!"^^
Realy nice cant wait for it...
what about making a King Tiger???Awesome then!!!!!
We already have good model from FH. In principal, we can do version with turret from VK 45.02 (P). sPzAbt have vehicles of this type in Normandy.
Guys, would just like to report that a demo I downloaded called "Strategic Command 2 Patton Drives East Demo" seems to have used your sound track. I knew it straight off and thought I should let you know... The demo is crap also, so only download it to listen to the load music and not to play the demo... lol
Yeah indeed they do, im gonna check if Rantam has given his permission for them to use his music. Thanks CaptainSource.
Little add-on for news :)
It's PzKpfw VI Ausf.H1 Tiger from sPzAbt 501, 1942 production vehicle. Tank in typical for sPzAbt 501 Tigers configuration.
I hope that you fix the anti-tank weapon!
