WW2 history, a few questions for a lighter conversation

2006-10-21 17:44:42

Cougar: Banned; +1,962|7021|Dallas

Good Cougar:

1. U.S. because I'm from the U.S. and we are leet.

2. Europe because I don't like jungles or asian people.

3. U.S.A.A.C. Because being on the ground is for suckers. I'd fly P-51 Mustangs.

4. Fighter Pilot.

Bad Cougar:

1. Germany.

2. Europe, any front, doesn't really matter.

3. Waffen SS. Because if your going to be in a war, might as well go gung-ho and kill everything that breathes and not get in trouble. No red tape like the Allies had. Besides, I hate people in general anyways, so what better than daily executions to relieve some stress.

4. Death squads.

Fuzzball_the_Shooter: The Photographer.; +81|6962|Central Valley,California

1. Americans, I want to defend my own country.

4. Airborne.

mcgid1: Meh...; +129|6974|Austin, TX/San Antonio, TX

1. USA
2. North Africa or Europe

ATG: Banned; +5,233|6786|Global Command

1. What nation of the allies or axis would you fight for and why?
USA, of course.

2. In what theater of operation would you rather be involved and why?
Pacific, nice views and weather.
3. In what branch of service and why?
Marines because their always leet.

4. In what capacity would you rather do your fighting? IE. infantry, fighter pilot, tank driver, sniper, ships. etc..keeping in mind the life expectancy and the ways of death you could experience from that job. Remember, you still wanna survive the war and go home.
I would be a Corsair pilot.
Badass plane, beautiful to look at.

Vilham: Say wat!?; +580|7023|UK

1. England
2. N.Africa/Europe
3. SAS
4. Well i would have wanted to joined up for the SAS as a good old inf when Lord Lovat originally commanded it, only 1 jump in Africa then the rest of the ops there were on the ground and then coming back to England to rest up and go in for more chaos in Europe.

or

1. England
2. Europe
3. Airborne
4. Being part of the most important operation on D-day, Pegasus bridge would have been something.

Well I forgot to answer my own questions:

would fight for the US, of course

I would rather fight in Europe, it would appear that the Germans were more "human" than the Japanese in the Pacific.

I would want to be in the Army/Air Forces,...Would wanna fly, and the they thoughts of trying to land on a carrier after being shot at and shot up wouldn't sit too well with me.

Well, Hollywood has certainly "glamorized" life in the 8th Air Force in England 1942-43 flying B-17's. However the thoughts of being shot at and not being able to do anything about it would scare me as well. SO, I would r have rather flown fighters, namely, the P-38. I like the idea of at least 2 engines when someone is trying to shoot me down.

That's true, the Germans were actually very fair/decent towards the British and Americans (mostly because they were white)

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Capt. Foley: Member; +155|6845|Allentown, PA, USA

Allies, probably the US because I am there and patriotic, either Infantry, a Armored Division, or flying CAS missions in Europe after June 1944 in a P47. If I servive great, if I dont, well...then Im dead, and someone has to die in war, just hope its the enemy.

You said keeping in mind the life expectancy and the ways of death you could experience from that job. Remember, you still wanna survive the war and go home.

After Band of Brothers and countless games to boot, how could anyone want to join anything other than 101st airborne?

Aside from that or I would have loved to have driven one of the three vehicles that won us the war: the Higgins boat, the forklift, or the supply truck.

what about the Liberty Ships...

DesertFox-: The very model of a modern major general; +796|6942|United States of America

1: United States of America
2. Africa/Western European theater, you'll see why...
3. United States Army
4. Airborne Infantry/Infantry Division- Airborne is dangerous but are kick the most ass. Infantry seems to give you more control.

However, the tail gunner of a B17 I named after myself in this other game won the Medal of Honor, maybe I should pick that.

2006-10-21 19:39:33

SineNomine: Panzerblitz; +37|6980|SPARTA

1. Germany of course

2. Administration of the eastern occupation zone

3. SS

4. Oberstgruppenführer in the Reichssicherheitshauptamt

To get the Ukrainians, White Russians and Baltic states to fight against Stalin.
Ah, creating a world without conflict. No cold war, no middle eastern threat, no politic, ethnic and cultural mishmash in Europe.
Create the price for peace: homogeneity

I know this is evil. But I think it would have spared us a lot of tears in human history.

EricTViking: Yes, I am Queeg; +48|6809|UK

1. British, because I am British.

2. Battle of Britain, because you get to sleep in a warm bed in your own country and I reckon you'd fight like a nutter on your own soil (or air).

3. R.A.F

4. Fighter Pilot. Hurricanes or Spitfires.

1. Allied because genocide pisses me off.
2. European -thats where D-Day was.

4. Army. I have the utmost respect for those guys.

alt answer

1. Axis (underdog)
2. Atlantic.
3. In a battleship
4. Navy.

I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something. - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

Poseidon: Fudgepack DeQueef; +3,253|6795|Long Island, New York

1. America. Under two great leaders (Truman-FDR) and with a powerful military.

2. Europe

3. Air Force, because 1) I'm obsessed with flying and 2) it takes great skill to fly a plane with such incredible moves as some AF pilots do.

4. Bomber pilot. I dunno why.

2006-10-21 22:36:30

BVC: Member; +325|6952

I'd head straight for the abandoned airfield, grab the B17 and start raping the Axis HQ/ keeping the AA at Gabr Saleh down...or maybe steal the Stuka.

1. What nation of the allies or axis would you fight for and why?
New Zealand, Allies. I'm from there.

2. In what theater of operation would you rather be involved and why?
North Africa/Europe. Sounds better than the pacific, from the accounts I've heard.

3. In what branch of service and why?
Army. Dunno why. Flying a spitfire would be fun though.

4. In what capacity would you rather do your fighting?
Infantry

Being in a bomber you'd have a very short life expectancy.. plus, you'd have to fly in formation most of the time. So, in other words, you're sitting ducks for the Me 109's...

1. America

2. North African or European

3. Army (for those who don't know, America's Air Force was known as the Army Air Force back in World War 2, the Air Force we know today didn't exist)

4. Infantry (if possible, have a rank higher than sergeant). Maybe 82nd Airborne. They saw action in the invasion of Sicily, plus they did everything the 101st did as well.

Anyone seen Flags of our Fathers yet? I very much doubt anyone would want to be in the Pacific theater after seeing that, lol.

Great movie, btw. IMO best World War 2 movie out to date, even better than Saving Pvt. Ryan. If you haven't seen it, go see it ASAP.

I'd like to be those Soviet chumps that ran without a gun or anything into MG42 emplacements.

1. Soviet Union

2. Eastern Theatre

3. Chump Squadron/Communist Battallion

4. Generic Goon

Saw it last night with my cousin. His grandfather (my great uncle) was at Iwo Jima, present for both flag raisings. He missed both of them. First time someone called his name and he looked away, second time a plane flew by and distracted him. Very powerful movie though.

Mekstizzle: WALKER; +3,611|6878|London, England

I want to see some films based on the German or Soviet or even British aspect. Is there any out there? Besides the really old WW2 films (pre 1980's) and that really annoying and boring sniping one (Enemy at the gates)

Don't hate on me, i know how paraniod you guys get. All i'm trying to say is that i've seen enough American WW2 films and i want to see something different...
