I saw that on the description of the videos uploaded on the Forgotten Hope 2 Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@ForgottenHopeMod), it is written :
"Download and play Forgotten Hope 2 for free as a standalone from Playfh2.net !"

Is the free standalone version of Forgotten Hope 2 now official ?

I have read on your Steam post that you are going to add the following factions :
"Introducing three new playable factions: the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), and the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN)."

Arma 3 Creator DLC: S.O.G. Prairie Fire - Update 1.2 Trailer :

The most accurate voice for the People's Army of Vietnam is the voice from the NVA faction of Battlefield Bad Company 2 : Vietnam as it features Northern Vietnamese : Vietnam :
BFBC2 Vietnam US & NVA Voices 1 :

The most accurate voice for the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam is the voice of all the Vietnamese factions of Battlefield Vietnam (same Vietnamese voice for all the Vietnamese factions of Battlefield Vietnam) as it features Southern Vietnamese with swearwords targeted against the United States soldiers :
Battlefield Vietnam: All NVA:Viet Cong Radio Lines :

The most accurate voice for the Republic of Vietnam Military Forces is the voice from the ARVN faction of Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam as it features a Southern Vietnamese and was adviced by an ARVN veteran :
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam - ARVN Joe Behind The Scenes Video :

The GOM Mod for Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam features the Republic of Korea Armed Forces with a Southern Korean :
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam - South Korean voice lines + M113 APC vehicle sounds :

Eve of Destruction : Redux also features the South Vietnamese Army and the South Korean Army but I have never played this game or seen a video featuring their voices so I do not know how accurate their voices are in that game.

Are you also going to add the Battle of the Paracel Islands of 1974 which opposed the Republic of Vietnam Navy against the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy ?

I updated my list above with new suggestions.

When are you going to release Battlefield 1918 v3.3b ?

Are you going to add the following factions in Battlefield 1918 ?

- The Romanian Army
- The Greek Army
- The Portuguese Army
- The Sharifian Army
- The Senussi forces
- The Zaian Confederation
- The Sultanate of Darfur
- The Transvaal Republic

Ther German Reich declared war on the Republic of Poland on 1 Septembre 1939.

Forgotten Hope 2 should better focus on the invasion of Poland of 1939 instead of the Battles involving the Polish forces of the West or the Polish forces of the East like during the Battle of Lenino in 1943 as the Polish forces who fled to the West or fight with the Soviet army later were much fewer after the conquest of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939.

Same thing for the Danish Army, the Norwegian Army, the Dutch Army, the Belgian Army, the Luxembourg Army, the Yugoslavian Army, the Greek Army that should be focused on the battles that took place when they were being conquered by the Axis Forces.

Battles including the Free French Forces and other forces that fled to the West or the East should be added later.

First focus on the big battles that were fought by the Big Four (the Republic of China, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and the United States) and the Major Axis powers (the Empire of Japan, the German Reich and the Kingdom of Italy).

Then after that you could add the Yugoslav Partisans, the Chetniks, the Ustaše, the National Liberation Movement, the Legality Movement, Balli Kombëtar, the Thai Army, the Romanian Army, the Hungarian Army, the Bulgarian Army, the Iraqi Army, the Iranian Army and the Vichy Army.

If you add the battles that took place before that the Republic of China declared war on the Empire of Japan on 9 December 1941 from 18 Septembre 1931 up to 2 Septembre 1945 then you should also add the following content to Forgotten Hope 2 otherwise it would be unfair to not include them :

- The Pacification of Libya by Fascist Italy (1923-1932)
- The Austrian Civil War (1934)
- The Invasion of the Ethiopian Empire by Fascist Italy (1935-1937)
- The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)
- The Invasion of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany (1939)
- The invasion of the Kingdom of Albania by Fascist Italy (1939)

I think that it is better to focus first on the major battles of World War 2 that happened after that the Republic of China declared war on the Empire of Japan on 9 December 1941 like the battles of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi campaign (1942), the Battle of West Hubei (1943), the Battle of Changde City (1943), The battles of Operation Ichi-Go (1944), the Battle of West Hunan (1945) then to focus on the minor battles of World War 2 and the battles that took place before that the Republic of China declared war on the Empire of Japan on 9 December 1941 and officially joined the Allies of World War 2.

Here are battles that happened after the Republic of China officially declared war on the Empire of Japan on 9 December 1941 and thus officially joined the Allies of World War II and where the Chinese forces are the most numerous force amongst the Allied forces during a battle that you could add in Forgotten Hope 2 :

1942 :
- The Battle of Yenangyaung City (Burma 1942)
- The Zhejiang-Jiangxi campaign (China 1942)
- The Battle of Toungoo City (Burma 1942)

1943 :
- The Battle of West Hubei (China 1943)
- The Battle of Changde City (China 1943)

1944 :
- The Siege of Myitkyina City (Burma 1944)
- The Battle of Mount Song (China 1944)

The battles of operation Ichi-Go (China 1944) aka the largest Japanese offensive during World War II :
- The Battle of Central Henan (China 1944)
- The Fall of Changsha City (China 1944)
- The Defense of Hengyang City (China 1944)
- The Battle of Guilin–Liuzhou (China 1944)

1945 :
- The Battle of West Henan–North Hubei (China 1945)
- The Battle of West Hunan (China 1945)
- The Second Guangxi campaign (China 1945)

Once you have finished to adapt those battles into the game, you could then add the Chinese battles that happened before that the Republic of China officially declared war on the Empire of Japan on 9 December 1941.

One of the complaints for Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam is that there is no South Korean army.

Here is a list of battles of the Vietnam War involving the South Korean army :

- Battle of Đức Cơ
- Battle of Trà Bình

The South Korean army where the foreigners with the most troops stationned in South Vietnam after the USA and had the most deaths during the Vietnam War after the USA.

The only video game about the Vietnam War featuring the South Korean army is Eve of Destruction Redux which was created by one person, Lotte, who was the last developper of the Eve of Destruction mod for Battlefield 1942.

There is also a mod called GOM for Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam which features the South Korean army.

Another complaints for Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam is that there is no Royal Thai army.

To this day, no video games or mods have featured the Royal Thai army during the Vietnam War which had the most deaths after the ANZAC forces.

Here is a list of battles of the Vietnam War involving the Royal Thai army :
- The Tet offensive
- Operation Toan Thang II
- Battle of Hat Dich
