Who do you like?

Note: this is purely for my personal interest; the planned release schedule for each air fleet is (amazingly) planned and will happen as it happens; I just can't be bothered doing a survey of all the excellent userbars to get a feel for where people are landing their affections.

So pick one choice, the faction with which you most closely identify/prefer/support, thanks, and let's see how things shake out!

I voted Germany. But didn't vote for Germany because I think K.u.K is cool.

I voted for the Royal Sky Fleet. I've always had a soft spot for the Brits. Imperial Japanese Air Navy is a close second.

Russians all the way.

Unrelated:  Is the Revolution still going to happen?  It occurs to me that one Alexandre Kerensky led Russia for a time there... ;D  That would just make me support the Russians more.

What, no Leviathan Potemkin  :'( ?

As for the choice of the faction, I'd prefer to wait for the full Primer and some taste of how the corresponding Levs handle... At the moment, the Flotte aérienne has a place in my heart, but I prefer the Sky Fleet's way of building ships: medium speed, medium to good armour and powerfull, turreted bow guns !

U.S. Sky Fleet... not so much because I'm an American, but because I'm curious to see how American warship design concepts from that era (cage masts, double-decker turrets, etc.) translate over to the game.

Those design concepts should be very interesting to see. I'll be very happy when my Amazon order arrives via UPS so I can refresh my memory of early 20th century naval architecture.

I voted for the nation of my birth [Germany], but I also favor the other half of my European ancestry.

Home town favorite, for me.  8)
That and I hope they keep the look of the early period of American ships with a heavy secondary battery and cheesebox turrets.

I'm voting for my home town fleet as well, the U.S. Sky Fleet.

Scandinavian Union (just don't tell the norsemen that I'm at fault for it still being alive in 1910).
