I am not sure if this question has ever been asked on this forum. If so please let this thread die off in embarassment.
If it has not been asked, then this might be a fun thread.
So the question is just how it reads in the title. If you could serve with any unit in WitP, where would it be?
It can be a ship, sub, LCU, air unit or anything else.
It can be either Allied or Axis. Any nation.
And please keep your answers simple and to the point. And please avoid quoting others posts just to point out there fanboyism.
And if you want to serve on the Japanese side for the historical aspect, by all means go right ahead. This is just meant to be a fun game about a game. Not a ideology statement.
So in other words keep the bullshit out of this thread [:D]
EDIT: Also try and narrow it down to the exact unit or ship or air group etc. So we know exactly where you would like to be when we play the game.

Very interesting question. All the commands available almost make it an impossible choice!! My first thought would be a CV or BB captain or fleet admiral with flag aboard said.
But after really thinking about it, put me in as a pilot and commander of a F4U unit!!! Preferably USMC unit so my wait wouldn't be too long!

I double this one: kill or get killed....no fun in this.
I rather keep this as a game, a few coloured pixel on a screen, or for old timers, a few sheets on a paper map. But nothing real.

9072nd Messkit Repair Co, Handle platoon..
In fact, the unit I really served in is in WITP, the 503rd PIR(Airborne), U.S.Army.
To think myself into another unit might be assuming talents I don't have, and being a paratrooper put me where I wanted to be.

I wouldn't.
I prefer to decide for myself who i swear allegiance to, I do not consider that I have any duty to a country only because I was born in it.
If My country was invaded then I would done one of 3 things
A) Fight to Defend it - But would only do it if I truly supported the policy's of my own country
B) Join the Invader, - But would only do it if I truly supported the Policy's of the Invading country
C) Move to another country, - But would only do it if I did not support any of them
Every man has a individual responsibility, and the responsibility is to think for himself.
There is no such thing as Duty, that is only propaganda, and as with all Propaganda only narrow minded or ignorant people believe in it.

I am a modest guy so I don't want to be in charge of anything in WitP. Though I'd like Jack Sparrow in charge of some important ship (CV) [:D]

Easy. Tin Can Skipper...
And in response to Japan - there is a thing called duty - even baboons understand that. Read Heinlein..it's is good reading for the uninformed - which means not completely inwardly formed..
And I subscribe to the "my country, right or wrong" line. But, I subscribe to the complete thought...
"My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”
