I'm with Yamashita. The land campaigns are the worst.
The limited slots for alternative gens makes him more appealing since you can get more space for Rundstedt, Leeb and Guderian.

Donitz is good if you want a really good naval gen, I have both him and Nagumo

I bought Yamamoto myself.
I am not sure if that is the best decision but I don't regret it. I can make do with Model and Ozawa for infantry and ship so, IMO, the choice is entirely up to preference.

IMO, there's little point for an air gen to have navy stars if a carrier is provided / can be spawned. That's why I rate Yamamoto lower. Plus, I just need to perfect clear and 1st clear two remaining Climatic Campaigns (East Indies and New Guinea). Doing so can prove that Ozawa and lvl 2 navy is enough, albeit with the help of 1944 Europe and 1940 North Africa tech. The last thing is that the land campaigns are the harder elements of this series. That's why I rate Yamashita higher. |

True that there's little point for an air general to have any navy stars, but it does not change the fact that Yamamoto has the best air capability. In my case, Model, Bock, Leeb, and Guderian are sufficient for everything on land so the next thing I looked for was air power, and Yamamoto is the key to that. I even assigned him on an infantry unit sitting in the airport, sniping enemies with air strikes every now and then. This is very crucial for objective like 'kill x enemy units be y turns.' Actually, Kesselring is also excel at this but since I was not gonna use that air force infantry unit do any combat anyway, so I choose Yamamoto's Carpet Bombing over Kesselring's Victory Rush and 3 infantry stars. But, that 's just my preference. The choice depends on kind of what difficulty each player encounters. |

His slowness can easily be made up for by special forces, and he will literally never die. Also very good for air support. His three skills all compliment each other very well, and he all together is far better than Yama. Only problem is his price, which brings me to Option Number two. Kuribayashi. The best price performer in the Game. |

Kuribayashi has good skills and good stats, it is more that since number of slots is the restriction and you cannot sell back, yamashita is better. Same skills, one more inf, and make the easy trade of one air for three move.
otherwise, i don’t disagree on having solid skills and stats for the price. I would go yamashita or rundstedt, because they are the best axis options for infantry. Rundstedt can also moonlight on tanks.

Nagumo is what I chose because if his strong strenght in shios, which are pretty essential to most of the campaigns. But I didn't have any previous navy generals so that might affect your choice

Rundstedt can also moonlight on tanks. I put him on a spare heavy tank as well. Does not hit that hard but he just can't die. |

Amazing. It boosts his output by x+10 times (5/4), because info leader doubles his output once every four-ish turns. |

Guderian or Kesselring.
