2 good skills and 1 amazing skill for an air general, excellent on carriers, good on navy, but pretty sucky on land however.
Solid 5 stars only second to kesselring

Lacks specialization.
Donitz and Nagumo are better at ships, Kesselring is better at air. I'd go with the superior air or navy general.
Still, solid 4 stars

Quick question, how is kesselring better than this guy? Yamamoto seems to be kesselring with carpet bombing. So essentially this guy has the highest output of any airforce general. The only thing holding him back is the lack of infantry ability. Seems a decent choice

The only thing holding him back is the lack of infantry ability. Seems a decent choice The lack of infantry ability is exactly why Kesselring is better. Land airforce generals can make use of infantry/tank/artillery ability, while naval airforce generals can't make use of navy ability. Thus, Kesselring is a much better land airforce general and Yamamoto isn't that much better than him on the sea. Kesselring is more versatile and better in more situations. |

So Carpet Bombing Vs Infantry ability I’ll personally choose yamamoto because I can bomb the extra units in cities then parachute him, rather than use kesselring, where I would have to do the same thing. |

Yes, Yamamoto has stronger airforce damage. But that's only one part of being a paratrooper. You have to also have good infantry damage to fight off enemies that can't be taken out by airforce. Kesselring has victory rush and +15 damage on infantry, which combined with the morale drops from dive bombing, allows him to do big damage in multiple ways. Just wanted to add on to my previous comment on Kesselring's versatility. |

Cuz the victory charge is definitely a good skill. |

Is there any reason to rate him as admiral? I mean even for carrier the only skills important are air skills, aren't it?
Was always confused with air/navy hybrid generals in ET games. They normally aren't good neither in air nor in navy.
Yamamoto is good air gen, but is there anything different in GoG3 when using him on carrier?

I hired Yamamoto for Pacific 1945 campaigns and I think it was a blunder... We don't have many missions as Axis side in 1945 with carrier at our disposal. And most difficult battles in Pacific 1945 are land battles. And our funds are insufficient to use bombing as a powerful weapon. There was only one (rather tricky) mission when his air abilities were helpful. But I believe I would win it without him as well... Kesselring is at least a decent Infantry general... |

They normally aren't good neither in air nor in navy. Yamamoto is good air gen, but is there anything different in GoG3 when using him on carrier? One major point is that the carrier in GoG3 cannot counter attack, therefore, navy skill is useless on carrier. It also implies that Yamamoto's navy skill does not contribute to anything since he is a worse admiral than Ozawa and Riccardi. So, practically, Yamamoto is an air general and is on the top of his category, but whether or not he is worth buying is subjective and depends on individual's preference. |

Kesselring can be used well on an aircraft carrier, and Paratroopers.

I have changed my mind about him after buying him. The appearance in Pacific and the Carpet Bombing is worth the lost infantry ability.

Especially with both of them having Airforce Cluster, so they work very good when put on two neighbouring carriers |
