In addition, it shares the same general compatibility with virtually all available weapons. It doesn't have the maneuverability, speed, armor, or capacity of its newer version, but it has more and better placed gun points, and a still large missile capacity. It may be old in FS2, but it's better than some of the newer craft, such as the Myrmidon. I like this a little better than the newer GTF Hercules Mark II, because of its firepower, but there is almost always a better ship to use in FS2. During FS1, it was a decent fighter, but it has been replaced by the GTF Hercules Mark II and the GTF Myrmidon in FS2. It has six gun points, so it has reasonable firepower, but that firepower is offset by its slow speed and 'blockiness'. I would say this is an okay fighter during the first Great War, but during FS2, it has become outdated. The GTF Hercules was, to me, better than the mark 2. The Maxim and Hornets should be used on the cruisers, while the Kaysers and Harpoons on bombers. That way, you will win a lot of bomber and cruiser kills in the last mission. The best way to use this fighter in FS2 is to load the quads with Kaysers and the dual with Maxim and the first bank of missiles with Harpoons and the second with Hornets. $POF File: Fighter06.pof Textures: Fighter06-01(a/b/c), thruster The GTF Hercules in FS2_Open with the 3.6.14 mediavps MX-64, EMP Adv., Tempest, Hornet, Tornado, Harpoon, Trebuchet, Infyrno MX-50, D-Missile, Fury, Hornet, Interceptor, Phoenix V, EM Pulse, Cluster Bomb Subach HL-7, Akheton SDG, Prometheus R, Prometheus S, Morning Star, UD-8 Kayser, Circe, Lamprey, Maxim ML-16 Laser, Disruptor, Avenger, Flail, Prometheus, Banshee, Leech Cannon, S-Breaker He was an esteemed and powerful warrior, and it is said that "he made the world safe for mankind." Hercules is a symbol of masculinity and action. Hercules is the Latin name for Herakles, son of Zeus. Low max velocity offset by its tremendous offensive capabilities. The old Hercs are still widely used by NTF forces. Pilots who've flown Hercs for years love the ship's heavy armor and firepower and have learned to compensate for its low speed and poor maneuverability. As they are replaced by Herc IIs, Myrmidons, and other recent designs, Hercules fighters are increasingly relegated to training and guard duties far from the front lines. It was the mainstay of the Terran forces during the Great War, but it is slowly being phased out of the modern fleet. The old workhorse of the Terran fleet, the Hercules is a beloved but aging design. This heavy assault fighter is best suited for small target attacks and bomber escort. It carries 6 primary weapons, as well as two full secondary banks. This is offset, however, by its overpowering weaponry and shielding. The GTF Hercules is the slowest and most unmanageable fighter in the fleet. Since in-game information explicates that the Hercules was designed during the Great War, this cruiser was probably under the control of the Hammer of Light. The FreeSpace Reference Bible states that a wing of four Hercules fighters at some point took out a Vasudan Aten cruiser. The replacement of this class was the GTF Hercules Mark II with increased agility and secondary loadout at the expense of having only four primary guns. The Neo-Terran Front was known to have used large numbers of these ships during their rebellion. The GTF Hercules (nicknamed "The Big Momma") was first introduced during the Great War and flew several successful missions against the Shivans, becoming the mainstay of Terran forces during the Great War.
