It's both. I do LOVE using him as a second infantry general, but he probably is still worse than Yamashita. He is still super powerful and well worth his cost, definitely better than Kuribayashi. Then again, he has been so tied to my name that I have to endorse him any way I can. I have Rund right now and working to get MacArthur for the allies. Is one infantry general for each enough? Rund has been working wonders for me, especially on Jeager and Grenadier SF. If not, I'll get Yama as well, but who would I get for a second infantry gen for the allies? You should get Rundstedt and Yamashita before you are done with campaign. As for Allies, get MacArthur. A second allied inf is optional, but if you want one I could recommend Vasilevsky, Bradley or Slim. |

I've been saving medals and holding off on buying generals until I need them. Guderian, Leeb and MacArthur I bought, those three are all obvious. Once you have those three, they alone will take you at least to 1945 easily. |

I'm curious, as I haven't played GoG3 for as long as WC4, so my infantry thoughts are based around WC4: you only need one, and he has a small niche. |

In GOG3, infantry is hugely flexible due to SFs, and you cannot create new units without reinforcement points, meaning that every unit is valuable. Infantry can actually deal insane amounts of damage with gens and SF. It is advisable to get 2 for Axis. |

I think 1.5 infantry generals (for example MacArthur and Dowding /Yamashita and Kesselring) are enough and the air/inf generals can still deal a lot of damage if their fighting power is depleted of you just have them at one stack due to resource constraints. And they are awesome carrier generals. |

He is overpriced and only slightly better than Ushi. Don't get him, for all that is good in this world! |

Yes, especially "4-star" Infantry Generals Rundstedt - Sustained damage Yamashita - Unhindered damage MacArthur - Critical damage Mannerheim - Anti-infantry damage Vasilevsky - City defense Kuribayashi, Bradley, Slim and Tassigny are all better than Mannerheim. I really disagree on this one. Mannerheim still perform better than them. Against Kuribayashi, he got the speed. Against Slim, he got the damage. Against Tassigny, he got everything you need for a true Infantry general |

Against Slim, he got the damage. Against Tassigny, he got everything you need for a true Infantry general As a relative Mannerheim fan, I got to disagree with you here. Rumor is, unfortunately, terrible on anyone other than a tanker, because at most you can only get it very rarely. Even on tankers, it is mediocre, and on anyone else, it's garbage. As for his other skills, Accuracy Strike is situational, especially on an infantry, who may well die by fighting special forces. Sniper is really good, but infantry is probably better at dealing with artillery. All in all, he lasts longer than Kuribayashi, but he also doesn't have near the same consistent ability. For example, if I want to use Mannerheim, he'll blow Kuribayashi out of the water, but those times are so few that it isn't worth buying him over Kuribayashi. And of course, Ushijima is better than both. |
