 MansteinReally not much needs to be said. Very effective in combat and aura is extremely useful. When has he ever been bad. However, if you prefer to keep your tank generals split it up so they individually can deal the most damage, Manstein is not the best iap option for you. In that case, get Zhukov. If you want to spend money, get Manstein or Zhukov! |

 EisenhowerWhile Eisenhower isn’t the best at combat for an Infantry general, that would be Macarthur Yamashita or Rundstedt, he still has great stars and good perks to warrant a purchase. He is not as great as Manstein or Zhukov, nor as some of the other infantry generals, but he will a very good supporting general. |

 ZhukovBest artillery general in the game. He’s Zhukov! Whip out your wallet and give easytech the seven dollars! |

 GuderianGuderian is a great general. He is absolutely essential if you did not purchase any iaps as he is by far the best medium tank general w/o iaps. His output is massive and he has great survivability. However, if you have Manstein, I highly recommend Rommel first as Rommel is fantastic on heavy tanks whereas Manstein is less good on them due to the lack of Panzer Leader. Rommel compensates for Manstein’s weaknesses whereas Guderian is just another Manstein. If you have Manstein, I’d get Rommel and wait a while before getting Guderian. |

 RommelA very strong candidate for the best ftp general in the entire game. Tide of iron + panzer leader + maus results in absolutely massive output on a heavy tank which are very common. If you have Manstein, get him over Guderian. However, if you don’t, Guderian and Rommel are toe to toe with each other in quality but Guderian slightly wins out due to him having much better survivability on medium tanks. |

 PattonLooks Shiny doesn’t he? Well I mean, he is pretty good. The problem is accuracy strike is a pretty useless skill as it is much better to kill a unit with a special force entirely, rather than just damage their special force. Blitzkrieg is only really useful on medium tanks. Pretty negligible on heavy tanks as they have ranged attack. Panzer Leader is fantastic on heavy tanks, but it is also low level. Overall, Patton while not mind-blowing is still a very solid tank general and worth adding to the collection regardless of build. He is not even close to being as good as Guderian, but is regardless by far the best option for a medium tank general on the side of the allies. I still think Vatutin is a better tank general overall due to his damage, but Patton is the second best allied tank general. |

MontgomeryMontgomery has good stars and max panzer leader, which is the main reason he is as popular as he is. And he really is great on a heavy tank. He can serve as a good medium tank as well thanks primarily to his max mechanist skill. He also has decent air ability and will help out in naval campaigns where an aircraft carrier is involved. However, ace forces is largely a useless skill for monty as tanks especially tanks with panzer leader will gain experience very quickly. Leclerc is also available early on that can serve as a monty lite thanks to his fast movement, panzer leader, and high output on mountains. In comparison to Rokossovsky, he costs more than Roko but has higher output against infantry and has noticeably better air-force ability. Its up to you entire if you want to get the extra 5 tank damage (which is further multiplied by special forces unit damage and tech level). I personally think Montgomery is better as 5 consistent damage is better than a noticeable bonus against armor. Against Patton, Patton is significantly better on medium tanks due to his Blitzkrieg, but significantly worse on heavy tanks due to a lower level panzer leader. Against Vatutin, Vatutin has much higher output but no panzer leader and far worse movement. Vatutin can also be relied on for taking an entire stack off and using the assualt ability, whereas monty will be mainly saved by his panzer leader. I'd say Vatutin is better on medium tanks due to the massive damage advantage, and equal if not slightly better than monty of heavy tanks. Overall, not a bad choice. But whether or not he is the best choice is the question. And I really don't know. |

 De GaulleBefore we begin, I want to gather all of the easytech community for a prayer. Dear Lord, please watch over Charles De Gaulle as he is about to become massacred by Friedrich Paulus. Thank you for everything that you have done. Amen
What? 905 medals for 3 tank stars, 3 artillery stars, and 2 movement stars? hahahaha
De Gaulle has absolutely terrible skill synergy. Inspiration ok, but its still a pretty weak skill. Its basically the same inspiration from ew6 but with a 1 grid aura. Fine.
But lvl 1 desperate? Absolutely negligible. Even a max level desperate barely debuffs the enemy, only debuffing 5 silver eagles (50 which are needed to go from a single morale down to 2). 2.5 silver eagles is basically nothing. The enemy will gain more morale while kicking De Gaulle’s worthless behind. Rumor also only 5 silver eagles down, a negligible affect which you can easily get from air support or flanking.
His stars are fine but his perks are terrible. Why bother with De Gaulle if there are so many great allied tank and artillery generals. Even Leclerc isn’t all that bad.
Imo Charles De Gaulle is absolutely terrible in this game. He is actually even worse than he was in WC4.
He is as bad as Surena. When Guderian sees his puny lvl 1 desperate skill, the only damage will take is laughing himself to death.
De Gaulle sucks. |

 DonitzGreat navy stars, excellent perks, aura, and speed. If you need a navy general, Donitz will always be the best option. I recommend buying him before Nagumo. He is a beast |

 YamashitaAn infantry general with great perks, high movement, and is invaluable in the Pacific War campaign. Easily one of if not the best generals in this game. |

Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus , I'm going to base another argument on relative strength. If Yamashita and MacArthur are pink, shouldn't Eisenhower be pink too? They are all hard-hitting infantry generals. Yamashita has Bayonet Charge, MacArthur has Raider, and Eisenhower has one more infantry star, Army Group, and Crowd Tactics. Eisenhower does suffer in durability, lacking Fire Suppression/Guerrilla, but he makes up for it with his aura and 4 airforce stars.

 GovorovAllied Leeb. I'd say getting him is a priority simply because of how great Katushas are. He is undeniably the best allied artillery general, but you do get alexander and chuikov for free and very early on in the game, so you could get a good infantry and tank general then buy Govorov of course. Your choice. |

Yamashita doesn’t cost 7$. And he has guerilla and bayonet charge too.
Ike has good stars, aura, but his other two perks are just average

RokossovskyWorse than Montgomery due to lower damage against infantry. Terrible on medium tanks unlike Montgomery, Vatutin, or Patton. But very good on the KV-6. Overall, if you want a heavy tank commander that can go on rampages, Rokossovsky is your man. However, that is all he is good at. Montgomery, Vatutin, and Patton have far more versatility. Also its worth mentioning that in case you didn't purchase monty as a starting general, Leclerc can pretty much fill out the same role as Rokossovsky on the eastern front so don't forget to use him. I found that Leclerc on heavy tanks and timoshenko on medium tanks is a combination that works surprisingly well to beat campaign missions.
Think really hard before buying him. Imo, I would purchase Rokossovsky after Montgomery. If you don't like Vatutin's speed and want to use two heavy tankers at the same time, Rokossovsky is a great option. But Vatutin's damage is simply far better than Rokossovsky, Monty has more consistent output and air force ability, Patton is undeniably the best allied medium tank general, and Leclerc is a great free starting general to use early on so I don't know if we have room for Rokossovsky... |
