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.
Design work on a new light tank was started in 1939, with the intention of producing a vehicle that would replace the T-26 in service. Despite some setbacks, by early 1941 the T-50 had reached readiness for production, but this was delayed by the need to retreat the factories in the face of the German invasion a few months later. In total, only 69 of this type were actually produced - they were as expensive to make as a T-34 and the engine was very unreliable. They were replaced in production by the T-60 and T-70.
The Finns first encountered a T-50 in July of 1941, and managed to capture a single example later that year. This T-50 was later fitted with bolt on armour plates, and was used by the Finns as a command vehicle. It would ultimately suffer an unrepairable engine failure while preparing for the counterattack on Portinhoikka. This unique vehicle was nicknamed Niki by its crew, and the type as a whole gained the nickname Pikku-Sotka meaning "Small Pochard". Our T-50 was made by Sorken.
