I've read quite a few posts and scrutinized all the available candidates and I still stick by Bull Halsey as a good fit. Nimitz is more powerful but overrated. His skillset is not all that. Nagumo and Yamamoto are overpriced. Nagumo is only 300 more medals than Halsey but his air force is weaker and his skillset not nearly as balanced (I added airforce leader to Halsey) Donitz is deadly but not so good on a carrier. I wouldn't let Mountbatten command a rowboat in my navy. Kuznetzov and Fletcher are solid but limited and lack the 4th skill. Neither one stacks up against "the Bull".I'd love to have Donitz for anything but a carrier it's just sometimes you need to smack someone before they get next to you, or hit land targets. When I unlocked Nimitz I was disappointed. Eisenhower shames him, and he's an Army General! I figure on upgrading Halsey and if I feel the need for more power I'll trade him for Karl Donitz when the trade fetches the asking price. Then I'll use one of my 3star navy guys as backup just like I do now. Which reminds me I gotta play Mediterranean war again because I so love sending Mountcrappen to Davey Jones Locker! lol

Which reminds me I gotta play Mediterranean war again because I so love sending Mountcrappen to Davey Jones Locker! lol ahaha, I see you have quite some animosity towards the Lord of the Admiralty! To address your points... 1) Thing is Eisenhower's skills are all pre-determined. The significance is that, he cannot have rumor. Which is one of the major flaws for him since he is very strong in his offensive capabilities too, but its a pity that rumor is one of the most crucial skills a navy general must have. 2) I think you are trying to aim for an ideal navy-air hybrid general. Well, Yamamoto is the best, but yes he's on the same price range as Guderian. Hence, Halsey seems like a solid choice. However, in the game you have enough slots to have two pure navy generals and one pure air general, and normally in missions you can afford to have one carrier general and one cruiser/submarine general to support |

Are carrier generals actually required? I have never found myself using carriers unless I get it for free in campaigns. Yamamoto can be preferred for his hybrid nature but apart from him I don't find anything notable about them. It's better to buy Arnold for air instead of a carrier general.

Again, I don't prefer Yamamoto because he costs too much and has weak skills. Better to buy pure art-navy-air generals than buying him.

Yes, I rarely use carriers though since usually there are more carriers or cruisers with air cover than destroyers or submarines in the enemy fleet |

I don't really see any use for air generals other than improving conquest turns.
Tbh I hardly see any use for a navy general either, I pretty much always use triple stacked naval units and land units.

I do believe one good navy commander is needed for the game. Eisenhower is the ultimate hybrid in this regard. Zhukov is the other really bomb hybrid but not for navy. I am giving Halsey 3 star artillery so I can use him on land in a city augmenting airport capabilities while still useful on a gun/rocket. It's not ideal but my new crew is Guderian, Vatutin, Rommel, Konev, Leeb, Halsey. Konev being my infantry hybrid. So 3 tank, 3 artillery. Terauchi 3 stars as my 2nd navy. 3rd navy is Rommel.

As to the lord of the admiralty Mountbatten its clearly a case of its not what you know its WHO you know. Cousin to the Queen, buddy to Churchill. Aristocracy! He wasn't dumb but he does not merit his rank. He made more than one major blunder in his rather boring career. Dieppe is a good example. Friggin' Disaster planned by the lard of the admiralty.
