There's Nagumo who is superior. Damage wise, Mountbatten will be a good choice only if you value crit and/or speed, but honestly I'm not very satisfied with this skill based on my experience using Govorov. Taken crit into account as a third admiral, Mountbatten is better than Nimitz on subs, battleships, and British and Italian cruisers. If crit is ignored, then he is strictly worse than Nimitz. Plus the free admirals are really decent and two of them are good protectors of Nagumo, who is relatively more vulnerable. Mountbatten is too overpriced for his ability. Cunningham alone is not good enough for the Allies IMO in 1945, while Mountbatten does it almost as good as Nimitz. To put that into perspective, TE > NGS, Logistics > Ace, and Destroy and extra mobility (along with negligibly better slots) are almost as good as the extra star and Wolfpack. Yes, Cunningham isn't enuf for 1945 Pacific. Nimitz's isn't good damage wise, Mountbatten is. This is basically like Nagumo and Donitz, Nagumo is better than Donitz damage wise. But people prefer Donitz over Nagumo and Nimitz over Mountbatten because of their Aura (Wolfpack). |

What makes you think Nagumo/Mountbatten is a better damage dealer than Donitz/Nimitz, without the presence of aura... I literally just explained why Nimitz hits harder than Mountbatten. |

Sorry, I didn't read that lol. |

I brought Donitz and Yamashita. I completed pacific 1942 and am at north africa 1941 I have lots of medals so I am not exactly picky on what generals I get. I plan to get Rommel and Nagumo. 3rd axis tank and 2nd axis navy, they are good enough to use outside of campaign. For allies while I have Manstein and Zhukov, I am looking for a 2nd artillery and 2nd tank. Govorov is the clear choice for artillery. Out of the allied tank generals, Rokossovsky looks like the best.  This is my current tech.  |

Out of the allied tank generals, Rokossovsky looks like the best. This is my current tech. For an allied Medium Tanker, get Patton, Or Vatutin. For Allied Heavy Tanker, get Rokossovsky for tank killer, then Montgomery for infantry killer. Govorov is a great choice for 2nd artillery general Chuikov exists Rommel is a must. I got Nagumo when I was in 1945 Pacific (which I am in, but mein brother wont let me play it in his ipad cuz mine got broken  ) Your tech seems nice. But I'd prioritize Tank first, Artillery, Navy, Infantry and Air Force respectively. |

I done the axis side of North Africa 1941, my newly purchased Rommel helped.
I am planning to purchase air generals. I am at level 7 in the challenge campaign and had a naval battle recently. I had Nagumo along the other naval generals and it was a very close battle. Some top air generals on the carriers would probably help. For axis, between Kesselring and Yamamoto, I am getting Yamamoto. For allies, its just Dowding.

On the contrary, if he is getting Dowding it is different than getting Kess. They are both made as paratroopers yes, but the major appeal of Dowding over Halsey is not Paratrooping capability but rather Dive Bombing, so that you can cripple a major enemy instead of just defeat them. |

Why not get both Kessel, Dowding and Yamamoto, Halsey? |

Why leave them crippled, when you can have them dead? It is preferred to have them dead, but in the case of heavy tanks or gens with AA, the cost is prohibitive. You can pretty much always trigger that carpet bombing anyway, and again, DB is a huge boost. |

I done the allied portion of the north Africa campaign and I am now at Western front 1944.  Here is the current state of my general roster. Feels likes its in a complete state. I think any more generals will only be for niche purpose. Such as a 3rd infantry or 4th navy for elite battles and challenges.  |
