I am looking for a good naval gen in pacific 1942.
Considering cost, which gen is good for the campaign and beyond?

Nimitz cuz you'll need him for challenge mode and elite battle.

Nimitz for ships. Halsey for carriers. Not every naval mission has a carrier, and nimitz on a ship can counterattack to shell out more damage which halsey can't do as well

You do not need a naval general for allied 1942 (besides maybe cunningham). Not by a long shot. Axis on the other hand is much harder. So, I recommend Donitz/Kesselring.

For the challenge with 3 carriers... you really need 3 air gens and try and rush to either port while sacrificing the rear guard. That one is really hard. I'm only comfortably passing it with Halsey, Kesserling and Dowding. For the challenge with 2 carriers, island in the middle with 2 infantry, stack up your infantry on the first turn, move your ships downwards to lure the infantry away from the coastal gun. Afterwards, paradrop, take the coastal gun, maybe with Macarthur, since he has crit rates. Paradrop the other infantry gen next to him, try to prevent getting flanked with heavy morale drops, get an AA special force as soon as possible. The italian one would be good. |

Well as long as either Dönitz or Nagumo is not used by enemy AI i can passed it but if both used by AI then it's doom for me. For challenge with 3 carrier which one is that? i never got it |

Get Spruance or King if you're looking for a cheap alternative. And for elite battles, the combo of Donitz + Nagumo is much better than Donitz + Nimitz since Wolfpack don't stack.

For challenge with 3 carrier which one is that? i never got it It's somewhere midway through challenge 10. Italy, 3 carriers and ships in a winter setting against 2 groups of USSr ships coming along both sides of the winter landmass. Sometimes you'll see eisenhower on a ship. Mostly allied gens would be used |

For challenge 10, I kinda just hang out at the bottom, surrendering 2 for every victory so the difficulty isn't that hard. I will eventually try to max it out but right now I don't have too much time and it's the same rewards anyways.
