1.Patton= Skills Panzer leader(Lvl1)=one of the best skills for tank generals, but its only level 1 tho Blitzkrieg(Lvl2)=an amazing skill for tanks! a 50% chance to avoid enemy counter attack greatly improves patton's survibality Accuracy strike(Lvl2)=a good skilll can kill enemy special forces quickly allowing tanks to have an extra 60% chance to attack again
Pros Fast movement with 3 stars Good survivability with blitkrieg High output with accuracy strike and panzer leader
Cons Rellies on attacking twice for output Bad availability
2.Montgomery Skills Machinist(Lvl2)=a meh skill that increases montgomery's survivability especially in campaigns Panzer leader=(Lvl2)= an exellent skill for tanks! and he has it at level 2! Ace forces(Lvl2)=a meh skill that doesnt really do much
Pros Good survivability with machinist and ace forces Air power utility with 3 stars air exellent availability
Cons Lack luster output Too defensive
3.Rokossovsky Skills Machinist(Lvl1)=a very mediocre skilll especially when at Lvl1 Panzer leader(Lvl2)=S tier skill moving on Anti armor(Lvl2)=a good skill that makes rokossovsky extra potent against armored foes
Pros Very good against tanks Decent availability
Cons Machinist is very meh Only featured in one campaign(as of the time of this writing)
4.Vatutin Skills Desperate(Lvl1)=a decent skill but is sorta situational Tide of iron(Lvl2)=one of the best skills for a tank commander! very easy to make use of and greatly increases output Anti armor(Lvl1)=a pretty good skill to take down strong tanks
Pros High consistent output Pretty cheap Decent availebility
Cons Very slow Also only featured in 1 campaign(as of the time of this writing)

A sad sight in comparison with analogs from wc4. I am especially sorry for Rokosovsky, there he was tanker number two.

Rokossovsky is the best non-IAP general in game when commanding the heavy tank. KV6 is such a great special force that it is almost like a cheat. And no one can use it better than Rokossovsky, who has a great bonus against armored units at the same time. Plus he is one of the fastest generals in the game.
Guderian and even Rommel (who I think is better than Guderian) are inferior to Rokossovsky when commanding heavy tanks, but better when commanding medium tanks.

I do agree that rokossovsky is one of the best users of the rocket tank and that makes him the best candidate to be put on a allied heavy tank but how is 2 movement stars considered "one of the fastest in the game"

"Blitzkrieg" looks good on paper but, for heavy tanks it is quite a situational skill. Heavy tanks attack from a distance most of the time, so Blitzkrieg is useless against all light and medium tanks and infantry. Heavy tanks have the best fire power in the game and fully upgraded armored tech tree will alow us to kill with one shot most artillery units. So, Blitzkrieg is only good against enemy's generals on heavy tanks. But if you are involved in bloodbath battles with opposing generals - then you are already doing something wrong, because enemy heavy tank generals should be out-maneuvered and exhausted first before finishing them.

And when we have a heavy tank in Pacific it is a pretty one-sided battle

Very easy poll. Patton simply has no competitors. A bit strange, but the Soviet generals have become much weaker in this game. Montgomery only has 1 skill!!! Only idiot can spend 920 medals for this crap! Ace forces are useless, with multiple tank attacks experience is not a problem. Machinist does not affect combat at all. Because the tank must be damaged first. This means that by the time the battle ends, you will still earn gold for replenish. Leadership instead of Machinist will be much better. It saves at least 18 gold from the first turn when you placing a general on a tank.

Rokossovsky is the best non-IAP general in-game when commanding the heavy tank. KV6 is such a great special force that it is almost like a cheat. And no one can use it better than Rokossovsky, who has a great bonus against armoured units at the same time. Plus he is one of the fastest generals in the game. Guderian and even Rommel (who I think is better than Guderian) are inferior to Rokossovsky when commanding heavy tanks, but better when commanding medium tanks. About Rokossovsky: He deals dmg lower than Vatutin no matter the tank (about 7-10 better dmg at the heavy tank on Rokossovsky's side against tanks if you won't count Vatutin's Tide of Iron - then 2-5 more dmg to Vatutin. I might say they're equal. But while fighting all the other units, Vatutin has an advantage of 5 points always and 17 when attacking. About the Panzer Leader: the game is checking tanks' ability and generals one by one, so while Rokossovsky kills one unit every time he attacks (which you suspect while commanding heavy tank), then he has actually got 69,6% chance of next attack (instead of sum - 84%), which is not even 10% above the regular one. On medium tanks he doesn't manage to take down one unit all the time, so his bonus gets somewhat bigger (13-18% I'd say), but it's not enough to offset the fact that Vatutin will manage to kill one unit most of the time with his +17 dmg, so the percentages are perhaps even closer together for these two (lower than 10% difference). The only big advantage Rokossovsky really has is speed - which isn't amazing either - 2 compared to 0. Vatutin is just awfully slow. :/ About Rommel-Guderian - I have Rommel and have played with Guderian on my friend's account. And on desert maps, Rommel is better than Guderian by a fair amount thanks to his skill. But I can't really say that about normal terrain, where Guderian with his Tank-killer skill and blitzkrieg has got more to offer (especially when fighting tanks - the reason why you like Rokossovsky ) So imo: Rokossovsky isn't probably the best on his own, he just offers decent dmg with decent speed. Vatutin has got great damage with no speed. Patton is good on mt, but worse than these two on ht. Allies just lack the all-round great tank general. Also, you can't just say, that Rokossovsky is the best non-IAP, while commanding heavy tank, because it all depends on KV-6 XDDD

Also, you can't just say, that Rokossovsky is the best non-IAP, while commanding heavy tank, because it all depends on KV-6 XDDD Yes, it all depends on KV6, I said it many times. We don't evaluate generals in a vacuum it would be foolish to do so. All theoretical thinking is only as good as means and options we have in real missions. Besides we should know exactly how we are planning to use our generals. I don't think your math is correct either, We simply don't know how interrelationships between a chance for a repeating attack and a chance to attack again after destroying a unit work together. It is all guess work until we are sure about mechanics. What we know exactly is that Rokossovsky will attack more often than generals without PL by 24%. This combined with his 24 percent bonus armored units and KV6 makes him the best allied tank general in the game in my opinion.
