Voted for Italy, I love their weapons. If I'm playing alone I just play on whatever side I am but I prefer axis for 2 reasons.
1. They don't really have anything I hate, unlike British No.1 SMLE or Yankee Garand. Also I hate shermans in normandy, they are just too weak in everything. At africa they are fine for me
.
2. When I play with my friends (4 of us), it's always more easy to get on axis side, as all new players go automatically to allied side if teams are even in numbers. So if 4 people join server at same time, most likely 2 goes to axis and 2 to allied. And whenever new player comes in, one allied player can channge to axis
