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).
