How odd. I flew the Loki all through Homesick because I prefer the agility and the speed. (Its agility is absolutely PERFECT for my tastes.)

As for which Herc I like, I like the Herc2. Ares is better in many ways, yes, but I just can't abide handling that bad. And the Herc2's missile slots are more than ample enough for any kind of action. :)

Seriously...

Herc 1. I rely on primaries more than anything, and if it were possible, I'd use it in FS2 as much as possible. Quad gun mounts on one weapon slot is essential for a primary-based strategy, and I think that even with Subach, Herc 1 would be almost GODLIKE in most FS2 missions.

I haven't flown the Ares yet... I prefer Erinyes or Perseus in the later missions, depending on difficulty.

The Herc 2 is a shiny piece of crap. I hate that thing, and I won't fly it if I don't have to.

My favorite Herc is definately the original Hercules, Ares as a close second. I've always disliked the Hercules Mk.2 because it simply looks awful, too sleek and clean in my opinion.

Herc 1 for the same reason as Ai No Koriida.

Hercules I. Both of the Herculeses(I don't think it is the correct plural, by the way) are even slower than a disabled snail, with the Herc I, I have six gunpoints at least. I don't take the Ares into account, that is simply too powerful and that's stupid.

Feel free to disagree.

My favourite is the old Herc. But I somehow got the feeling it's less though than the MKII.

The MkII is tougher and harder to hit.
