Best skill set for cavalry gen

In other words:

Stepanovic:
97 general ability = 97/400*100 = 24 % atk-dmg
52 cav ability = 13 % atk-dmg
(always cut of decimal point)
__________

= +37 % atk-dmg

-> You will end up with 137 dmg if you put him on a 100 base-dmg unit (without cav commander or any other bonus skills).

With Browning Pistol:
107/400*100 = 26 % atk-dmg
82/400*100 = 20 % atk-dmg
_________
= +46 % atk-dmg


-> Same example as above, you will end up 146 dmg

Sidney Johnston:
93 general ability = +23% atk-dmg)
55 Cavalry Ability = +13%
________
= +36 % atk-dmg

With Browning Pistol:

103/400*100 = 25 % atk-dmg

85/400*100 = 21 % atk-dmg

_________

= +46 % atk-dmg



Both will end up with same dmg as I wrote before.

so johnson does same damage as stepanovic, but has 4% more defence, costs less medals (if im not mistaken) and only needs 2 skills swapped (1 less than stepanovic). kind of weird how easytech made a cheaper general better than a more expensive one. usually the more expensive is better (like plummer, hindenburg, beseler, hipper, ivanov etc) 

Well, it’s because of the max title. Also Stepanovic can be used in History mode and he’s very valuable in history mode because he’s cavalry. Johnston cannot. But other than that Johnston is better yeah.

i can send you a list of my general lineup with all their skills and equipment if you want. i've completed all the campaign challenges from 1 to 6 and i plan to do the remainder.
