The only Given in any of this, that is the adation of a new plane, is some folks are gona be un-happy about the choice that is made, I imagine (or I hope) HTC is sorta beyond being bothered by this, for their sake.
Having said that, imo this was a piss pore choce, my gues is someone gave HTC a chunk of their lottery winnings and hear we are, some being happy and others not, clearly this plane adds very little in the way of TOD usfullnes, not any usefullness for any kind of event or the CT, it is just another late war US fanboy toy for the MA, but this does speak to a big slice of the player base, so their may some method to the madness after all:)
