Easytech has revealed another tank general. I hope the two new skills below is good.

Based on the colours of their banners and what I can see of the skill icons, I'd guess that skill #4 is some sort of tank-specific damage boosting skill and #5 is a tank-specific HP-regaining skill. If it's Organisation for tanks and #4 works against aliens, he's probably going to outperform Patton. However, the question remains on whether he'll be obtainable for medals or if he'll be an IAP...

WHAT?! Michael WITTMAN?! The CAPTAIN?! Are you kidding me? Putting him in here is like putting Richotfen in 1914. Yes, he was big, but certainly not deserving of a GENERAL status.

well if it is true that michael wittmann is not exactly the best option for a general but there are two problems, and the options for german tanks are few, in any case the option would have been herman balck but it came out before and that's how generals are left for germany digging would be Richeniau, Walter Wenk and Halder's plague, and none of these three would be especially good in tanks, Richeniau maybe a little bit of everything, Wenk would be Falkenhorst on steroids and Halder I guess the same as Richeniau

I guess when Easytech said that WC3 has 200 generals, this is what they meant. They will add around 50 more in the game.

Now, if they want to add a REAL 5-star German tank contender, allow me to introduce the man, the myth, the legend, Hans Valentin Hube, probably the single greatest tank commander of the war. I cannot recommend enough reading about him in Samuel Mitchem and Gene Mueller's book "Hitler's Commanders". (It also gives a great biography of Gotthard Heinrici if you are interested.)

I mean, we can just give them the benefit of the doubt and say it is Sr. Maybe they just really looked alike? Yeah, I got nothing.

Based on the picture it has to be Jr. However, since easytech does have a record of messing up pictures (Itagaki), they could've meant Sr.

As for McCain, I think ET intended the general to represent both the father and son, since WC3 also covered the Cold War era that Sr didn’t live to see (Jr attained rear admiral rank in Nov 1958)

I really hope that McCain is McCain III. Adding the Maverick to an RT game would be based.
