I truly believe I will enjoy this much more than the hook for doing Logistics.

Personally, I enjoy flying the Hook a lot, I just wish development progress was faster.

The tandem of Hook + Herc, there's so much potential for synergies in the right missions. Say Hercs supply a larger FOB, Hooks then supply FARPs, and then the "I wanna blow stuff up" crowd actually gets to do that. No supplies, no warheads. Makes people think twice how unimportant those Ash and Trash missions are going to be.

And yeah, this kind of scenario certainly isn't for everyone. Well designed SP and MP missions will be a total blast though!

Don't get me wrong, I still really enjoy the hook, especially as it had gotten more updates recently to its systems and flight model. 

Having both modules in my hangar gives a lot of flexibility. I'm looking forward especially to the triple hook slingloading when it comes out.

Also first ever turboprop fixed wing.

With REVERSE thrusting! I'm betting we'll see short landing on carriers competitions!  

This module will be anything BUT boring!

Considering IRL they did tests on the CV-59 Forrestal, landing on the Supercarrier isn't even a challenge for the Hook. Btw, they landed and took off from CV-59 with no arresting gear or catapult gear. So imagine doing that on the much more powerful C-130J, it wouldn't even be a challenge

I guess you're right. Come to think of it. The GR's already made a vid with the mod.

It's understandable that a C-130 is vulnerable and "boring," but with the dynamic campaign just around the corner, logistics is going to be paramount. We need to be a little more understanding; we've also had acrobatics for many years, and no one is burning down the forums because of it.
