Can we get reasons for your choices?
For a long time I couldn't fly anything but the Allies, mostly western (USA/GB). I felt I couldn't play an emulation of the armed forces of the countries that did all those horrible things. These days I still have a very healthy preference for western allies, then IJN then other Axis, but will fly any side for online balance.
Although I've been reading about Japan's participation and absolutely appalling ethical conduct during WWII, I am really interested in carrier warfare, so that's why the IJN preference over other Axis powers.
I'm particularly curious to hear about those that choose the LW
