Uptown,
Your saying you are not so much a fan right now, I believe has more to do with game play advancements. The total experience that HTC has provided with its AH2 version is something of a great accomplishment. My friend, have faith that the horde light will dim for all of its creators and the majority of subscribers will again go about their business of fun missions and encounters with all countries.
Skyguns is correct in gleefully anticipating new arrivals to the AH2 hangars. Take a look at the details in the 3d modelling from Superfly and awesome cabling effects brought to life by Cactus in the previews on the main page for the Storch. Along with that, HTC always rolls out a number of really nice things with every update (must be some sign of a to do list by the designers).
Having said all that, I would like to say nice going HTC for another year.

Take a well earned break for the holidays and find an intern to monitor the servers, and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.
P.S. Because when you get back, Uptown and I have a few thoughts on an even more successful 2012.
