 NimitzRidiculously massive output but poor defense. Must have for the aura alone. |

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 Inspiration is definitely average, but Eisenhower swaps Guerrilla/Fire Suppression for sheer power. 5 infantry stars and aura = 40 more damage on infantry. Add in Crowd Tactics and you get +50 damage. Not to mention the +20 damage for airforce. Sure, Bayonet Charge does more damage and has more consistency than Crowd Tactics, but Crowd Tactics still has good damage and consistency, so I wouldn't discount it. Really the only thing that holds Eisenhower back is costing real money, but that same argument can be used for why Manstein and Zhukov don't deserve pink. |

 VasilevskyWhen I first reviewed this guy, I gave him a terrible review. However, I now realize the hype. In terms of raw damage boosts, vasilevsky is actually well off tanks to crowd tactics, which is pretty great on infantry. And urban fighting, tho only silver tier. In cities on a tier 4 unit, vasilevsky can defend them very well. On offense, vasilevsky is also quite great., If you have eisenhower, then you of course should skip vasilevsky. As for Vasilevsky vs Slim or Tassigny, I’d say that Slim and Tassigny are a much better price performers and easier to use so Vasilevsky gets the green. |

 Mannerheim Mannerheim is far worse than he was in previous games but still decent. You can use him as a Rundstedt or Kuribiyashi alternative. However he also has some problems holding him down. - Rumor: Pretty much negligible. Morale debuffs are too low in value to take into account. - Sniper can be utilized to ridiculous extents if you have eisenhower, as on a white death or wiking, with eisenhowers buff, Mannerheim can be the main infantry killer on your team. Sniper can also be used as a balancing damage factor when Mannerheim is on an anti armor unit like a grenadier. However, there are drawbacks. In the worst cases without eisenhower and not on a special force unit, Mannerheim’s output even against infantry will be lousy. - Accuracy Strike is an ok skill. But while it does give patton an advantage as he has blitzkrieg, Mannerheim has no defensive skills. So throwing him against a KV6 and expecting mannerheim to do great on it is also ridiculous. In short, he can either be very good or very bad on your team so he is yellow. Imo he is very good with eisenhower or a special unit like a grenadier white death or assualt trooper, but is mediocre on his own. |

 NagumoIn my initial review, I lazily said that Donitz was a far better choice than Nagumo. However, Nagumo is still a very good naval general as all of his skills are maxed out, he has great naval ability, and ridiculous damage thanks to destroy, naval gun strike, and 5 navy stars. However, Donitz is a better decision than Nagumo as Donitz has an aura whereas Nagumo doesn’t. And as you get Ozawa and Riccardi for free, the aura that Donitz provides is very useful. So Nagumo is largely unnecessary despite being good. |

MountbattenIf only you knew how boring reviewing mediocre naval generals gets. Just get Spraunce and Nimitz and you are good |

 KonevAn ok infantry general but a horrendous artillery general. If you want a decent snow fighter, you can get him. The problem is Vasilevskiy is only around 100 medals more yet way better than Konev even on snow tiles. |

 VatutinVatutin fans its time to pop the champagne. Vatutin is a very strong tank general for the allies that has significantly better output than his alternatives. And his movement isn’t that big of a deal as tanks are pretty fast moving. Imo, vatutin is simply worth the pink tier as his damage is high enough to knock out a stack. He is good on heavy tanks or medium tanks, he is good on heavy tanks and medium tanks. And he is a great price performer for the cheap price. Nice |

 UshijimaYou know Pinochio wishes he was a real boy. Ushijima wishes he was an above average general. Well Ushijima, continue dreaming. Because Crowd Tactics is decent, his other skills are quite terrible. And even then, whats to point of getting a crowd tactics general if his stacks will disappear in seconds. Sorry Gerd von Rundstedt, but this guy really ain’t that good. Especially considering kuribiyashi deals way more damage and even the nazi air generals student and kesselring are better at combat. |

 BradleyWell, its Bradley. 3 stars in infantry, not great not terrible. But max jungle fighting and infantry leader make him better than Ushijima. I dare say, Bradley is actually pretty good. In comparison to Slim and Tassigny, he has pretty much the same output on jungle tiles (but max infantry leader as well). And he is pretty cheap to replenish too. He is a good secondary infantry general to MacArthur. I think I will get this guy |

 HothA horrible price performer, but good on special force units that can crit. However, he is such a bad price performer that I would rather just use Bock. |

 TerauchiAn expensive infantry general with only Victory Rush? Where did I see that? Oh yeah, Kesselring. On other units, he is too weak to even consider. I’ll pass |

Friedrich “Fried Rice” Paulus, Mannerheim is in no way a bad general, he just isn't great. Agreed, Yamashita is a better pick but as a second infantry gen for Axis, he is real good. I don't call doubling your dmg and being able to one-shot double stacked infantry garbage. A green rank is what he deserves
