I also value offense above defense, but Ace simply doesn't impress me. Yes I do get 16 atk but does that beat 25% additional hp? Exp. up also means additional hp, defense, beside the atk itself, though i dont know the difference for every rank 4 atk, 2 def, 20 max hp per rank upgrade, 5 in total. The estimated exp for each level is 250, 450, 800, 1200, 1600. So Nimitz and other better admirals will at most have 2 levels difference, which means 8 atk, 4 def, 40 max hp. Surely that can't beat 20% reduction. |

For speedrunning, however, damage resistance is almost always useless. |

Max Guderian first. He is very helpful in most battles. The more health he has, the longer he survives. Then max Rommel > Konev > Rokossovksy > Leeb > Yamashita > Donitz > Arnold or Dowding > Rundstedt or Graziani > Nimitz I think I will not max Rommel (or anyone to marshal) immediately as he is already very strong with Purple Rank, M General, and Lvl 1 Red and Green, Lvl 2 Blue Panzer ribbons. I might focus on giving purple ranks and M General to Konev, Rokossovsky, Leeb, and Yamashita first or improving Yamashita as I do not have a strong explosive infantry yet. Among the combat generals, Yamashita is the only underdeveloped. |

Size wise it's a decent squad, but you have some generals that aren't top class, namely Nimitz, Graziani, and Rundstedt. However, I think you should hold off on getting new generals in case easytech releases any better options in future updates. If no new f2p generals are revealed: Rundstedt can be replaced using MacArthur with Raider and Explosives, Graziani using List with Leader, Nimitz using Horton with Rumor or Raeder with Rumor and Explosives. I dont think I will ever discharge Graziani due to how much number of generals are needed to win Warzone but I might consider replacing Rundstedt with MacArthur. I might also consider replacing Nimitz with Raeder. Even if you need more tank generals for warzone, List and Montgomery are better options. That will put Graziani at 6th at best among tank generals. Do you need 6 tank generals? |

I think I would consider Clark over McArthur or is he too expensive to upgrade? I have sold Graziani since his damage is too underwhelming.

I don't consider speedrunning to be part of the regular gameplay since the most easytech asks for is an S. However, things might change if they add a WC3 style conquest pass. |

Well it’s fun and the tools needed for them are the same as trying to get ‘regular’ conquests done. I know a lot of players require 50+ rounds on conquest possible in under 20, so I think the point matters! |

I will hold off on hiring List but Horton will be given 4th star and Explosives 2 so that he can be able to crack fortresses in Warzone.

It's time to discharge Nimitz. I already have upgraded Horton with Lvl 2 Explosives and 4th navy star. Might as well go on fully upgrading him. Also, since we have mobility ribbons now, Vatutin > Graziani.
EDIT: Since it's possible that new F2P generals may come along with Challenge mode of Scenario for Cold War, I think I will also exchange Rundstedt for McArthur. The guy is already sufficient for me. I would still have 2k medals at the end of the day.
