I only must say that I am terribly surprised and annoyed with the reaction of this community with the P47D. HTC added it by surprise and I have seen more posts and threads whining about its paintjob than thanking them for the incredible surprise and wonderful add that the P47 means.

If they had added the D9 by surprise painted in pink I'd have jumped in happiness and said nothing about the paintjob.

It is hard to see that people simply refuse to understand that just now they could be without any p47 at all. They only see that the skin is ugly (¿¿¿¿UGLY???? I find it good!!!)

<SIGH>

RAM,
I am not whining about the Painjob that HTC did, I am actually vERY.VERY pleased.  My web site is going to be a wish list for Future Variantes of the P47.  The models I am going to cover is the P-47C, D "Razorback", M, and N.  This skins I picked were based off of particular pilots and their accomplishments historically.

As for the Dora.. Bring it on, I have no fear for them.  I am hopeing the Pryo also brings in the 410.

later.

  Among all the people who have posted anything about the Jug there are a small number of people that do not care for the D-30 or the D-25.  I like both. To be honest I've not disliked any scheme used on any aircraft to date. Some folks are hard to please and some are more verbal about thier dislikes. I'd bet if a majority of folks made unpleasant comments in regard to an aircrafts scheme then HTC would consider reworking a "skin."   I haven't seen that yet.

Mino, I want D9 so strongly that if its brought pink I wont matter.And even more if it is brought by surprise as the P47 was.

And you can believe me, as I am completely serious.

I both complained about the paint job and venerated HTC for giving us the plane I was dying for, an they even didn't make it a flying brick like AW3/WB.

But you have to understand that most people who complained about the paint job are passionated people. I don't know what car you like the most, let's say a Ferrari 388, you would kill to have one, and when u have it, it's light blue with yellow and red flames runing from the hood to the trunk.

Well, u go get the guy who did that and hang him, simply because it's killing ur driving fun to know u driving in it.

Off course, the HTC jug is far from being as uggly as a flaming ferrari, but for us, people who truly loves the beast, we were surprised by the paint job.

But Pyro talked to us, and explained the 56th late war camo will be done, probably on the M version, we just needed to be patient. So we stoped our squeaking to poor HTC. (And they are teasing us big time, a Brazilian version went out, still no 56th late camo hehehe I'm dying  )

But I will fly the brazilian even if less performance because the paint job is better (as far as I'm concerned, it's a personal thing).
Dat jugs bro.

I'm someone who said I thought the Jug's paint was bland. It's not that I wasn't REALLY grateful, if nothing than to stop my Squadmate Lephturn from constantly wondering when it was going to arrive. :-)

I just saw an oddity, which was the P-38L has a really exceptional historical paint scheme and the P-51 and the P-47 have generic paint schemes. I figured since they were certainly going to add historical paint schemes, my vote was for the Checkertails with Invasion stripes.

Sorry if I appeared an ungrateful SOB.

The Paintjob I would like to see on a future variant would be:  Green with white invasion stripes...........don't know if any were historically painted this way, but I saw a pictue of a P38 painted green w/white invasion stripes.......looked real cool to me!
