So what do you think for the soviet pack. Pink rating? Because you do get 2 foch’s (or sorry, better than foch) generals and a better ludendorf (surprise + cavarly expert + strike + jungle fighting + pierce would make a distinguingly strong general of frunze). Imo I think it deserves pink. I agree. It’s better than the Japanese pack in every way: -The generals are far better -They are actually helpful for History Mode, unlike the Japanese generals who don’t help much since the two gens that we get during that mission are very good already (And arguably better than the IAP Japanese gens themselves) -The Soviet generals stand out among the free generals, unlike the Japanese gens who have replacements that are a straight upgrade if compared to them. |

Japanese pack is meh at best. The other iaps are mostly bought for their bonuses |

Apologies for taking so long. I added the soviet pack which I gave an overall purple rank for, as it is all killer no filler. I also gave Putnik a purple rating as even though his overall skill set is meh, with some textbooks, he can be a fantastic starting general along with vazov. He is also perfect as if you get him, you can not only use him in history mode, but you can keep him around as a permanent aura and put other, better skills on your other generals. Overall, him and vazov are amongst the best starting generals early in your game run (especially w. no iaps).

He is a prince rank aura that its super cheap and useful for history mode. Pretty great especially for a starter general. He just needs textbooks to give him jungle and mountain, and he is a good permanent buy. |

I was thinking since he is aura his mobility should be maximum. But anyways, he is still a steal for his price |

I also find it a bit weird how hindenburg is blue, and putnik is purple. I would choose chose hindenburg over putnik any day. Hindenburg also has the highest base abilities when leveled up to emperor out of ALL the f2p gens |

Hindenburg also has the highest base abilities when leveled up to emperor out of ALL the f2p gens I half-agree with that you said. I completely agree that Putnik is not worth your time. Too weak to be worth spending textbooks (Which are non-refundable, btw) on. Even if you give him the best items, his strength will be the same as Hotzendorf without items. The part that I don’t really agree with is ennobling Hindenburg all the way to Emperor. Ennobling generals past Prince is very expensive and grants few benefits compared to when you ennoble a general from Duke to Prince. Ennobling from Prince to Emperor alone costs like 25-27 silver medals. That is more than enough to ennoble two marquesses to Prince. |

But anyways, he is still a steal for his price You want to know who is a real steal for his price? Duke of Aosta. Can be given Level 5 skills right away, costs no silver medals, only requires 1 skill change to be made great, cheap medal-wise and is purple-tier, meaning that he has high damage. He is far stronger than David Farragut and will make the German naval missions much easier. |

I don’t know why exactly, but Hotzendorf makes me feel more calm.

I also find it a bit weird how hindenburg is blue, and putnik is purple. I would choose chose hindenburg over putnik any day. Hindenburg also has the highest base abilities when leveled up to emperor out of ALL the f2p gens I agree with the combined ability. I personally don’t care for Hindenberg’s skillset, which imo is his downfall. He has 3 skills I don’t like: storm, alert, and landfort.I would rather have the defense aura on nikolaevich. Imo he is a bit overrated as his skillset is pretty lousy to me, but still is good. I agree that Putnik’s stats are bad. But his prince max rank as well as two additional skills like salvo and jf may definitely fix the issue of his lowsy output. After that, he can be a very convenient aura general. Now the question I am sure you meant was why not get Hindenburg instead of Putnik to do the same? Well how much better is Hindenberg in actuality. Not by that much actually. Hindenberg with 2 textbook changes will be like Putnik + 16% damage from combined ability + defense formation and storm. For 700 medals more though??? 16% extra damage is nice, but 16% for 740 medals for is way too much. Storm Fortifications is a meh skill as it does not help with artillery’s other function of destroying armor. So 740 medals for 16% damage and storm is still a bad deal. Defense formation is a nice skill. Which can make hindenberg into a double aura. But maxed out, its still 16% with 2 hex range at lvl 5. Not to mention its super expensive as well. Plus radomir putnik is very useful in history mode while Hindenberg is meh. I do see your points. Once medals become unlimited, Hindenberg will be way better. But imo Putnik still has his place. And until end game, Hindenberg is nothing compared to Ivanov and Besseler while Putnik can be a nice cheap support for the two till you can afford Hindenberg as the last arty. Afterwards, I do agree. Hindenberg has more potential |
