The '''GTF Hercules Mark II''' was the advanced version of the original [[Great War]]-era [[GTF Hercules]]. It is advanced in almost all aspects of the original Hercules, except for primary firepower. This sacrifice had to be taken to save up more space for [[secondary weapon]]s.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Hercules Mark II is the next generation of Terran heavy assault fighter. Introduced during the Great War, the original Herc's balance of firepower and maneuverability made it the most versatile strike fighter in the fleet. Some military historians have claimed the Hercules won the Great War, citing its deployment in key battles near the end of the Shivan conflict. Implementing recent advances in fusion drive technology, the Mark II improves the assault fighter's speed and maneuverability without sacrificing loadout capacity.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
Herc II flies okay. Only complait was the weapsons placement, have the primaries set side by side meant shooting a fleeing target horizontal tricky.
The secondary max loadout is a blessing, sometimes i like to load out on nothing but Harpoons and be a mobile sam launcher.
