You do not need an air gen, because air is useless, although having one is useful and makes life easier. Although navy is important, it is not important to provide a navy general, for navy can take care of itself. I also firmly believe that there is strong call for infantry in this game: as one use stabbers. Feel free to disagree with me, and mention why, please.

Inf gens are not necessary, but inf has a niche in the spectrum, a very important one. |

Infantry generals are pretty much useless in combat. They're useful in stealing cities and grabbing a city to fight on both fronts. An example of this is playing as Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary 1950, sending the infantry general to grab Thailand's city, because Thailand is always defeated anyways, taking it can allow you to drop a tank general and wipe out Australia and UK territories. Plus infantry has the best movement in the game, the key is to get there quickly.
They're also useful in flanking behind enemy lines to hit cities, even if they spawn a unit, that is less money going to their offensive. A great place to take cities is also Africa.
As for naval generals, those are needed in a few conquests, such as Bulgaria 1950, my tactic for that was spamming single subs and Nimitz on a double cruiser to clog up the straight of Gibraltar, which allowed me to advance in Africa and Europe.
Air generals are good for hitting cities, the right skills can make for a powerful air general. And they utilize aircraft and missiles. They are not as useful on aircraft carriers. They are one of the keys to conquest speed runs as well.
These are my thoughts on those generals.

I am on NATO and WTO 6 nice, goodluck on your upcoming modern war era and finally realise that machinist is almost useless in campaign mode since the damage from the terrorist units and gen are far away from the hp that healed from machinist |

It's still much more useful than cover/entrenchment/shelter. |

If the enemy is already paralized by rumor from 2 artilleries, Guderian, and encirclement his blitzkrieg would be useless. |

No, he can rumor the paralized enemy so the enemy won't recover from it, then the rest of the team can move forward. Rumor also works when counter-attacking, so rumor is never useless. |

Rumor also works when counter-attacking, so rumor is never useless. I don't think we need to put rumor on literally everyone. If there's a unit worth stunning then we should bring in all available damage dealers to kill it asap, instead of leaving it to a single general. In that case even 2 rumor generals are enough, 3 maximum. That's gonna be Guderian + Konev + our admiral. If we need to split forces there's also Arnold and Leeb. |
