You should read the whole thread, start to finish. Towards the end it gets absurd, but if what is being hinted at is true - it effects us all.

With trademark & IP lawsuits being all the rage, I'm actually kinda suprised it took this long.

With some finesse you could create a PR ****storm that would impact investment. I imagine the typical investor would also be in the demographic that would find this frivolous, lacking proprity and an attack on "good companies that make an effort to keep the heroism and sacrifices of the time alive..."

What's funny, or maybe more along the lines of showing the greed our country runs on these days, is that it wasn't until Pacific Fighters was released that the legal action was taken - which was the first of the series to depict an American aircraft, that was also going down in flames, on the packaging.

Apparently it's all true, Oleg has said all future work, or plans, on anything American related has ceased permanently.

**** you very much Lockheed-Martin and Northrop-Grumman.

Oleg has himself said that all American planes will no longer be included.

How powerful do you think it would be if everyone just said, "No."  Including the legal system.

HTC removes all american rides, Luftwhiners laugh.. til Mercedes and BMW shoot down their rides and Mitsubishi ends up buying AH and forcing it to consist just of endless dogfights of unbreakable zeros with manga pilots and advertising for mobile phones on the wings.

That is what I'm curious about.  Anyone want to find out if they are trying to strongarm HTC too?
