Luigi Sansonetti andrei Chernyakhovsky is featured in historical retro right now. Are you satisfied with his performance there? IMO he is not a bad gen it is just his splash skill contradicts the philosophy of heavy tank effective use. With the introduction of elite units spam can be oneshoted now and splash (as well as terrain skills by the way in my opinion) are not that valuable. I’ll prefer to place my gen the way I can kill more spam unit directly in order to heal rather than to use splash or terrain bonus which is probably irrelevant to kill spam anyway. brought up an interesting point. Splashes can help Chernyakhovsky catch up to or surpass other tank generals in damage against key units, but he requires proper usage and resources. Abrams seems like a better fit for you. |

I have to say a couple of words in defense of Chernyakhovsky. As a staunch republican I don't use IAP guys out of principle  , but any of us could test Chernyakhovsky's potential in Great Patriotic war campaigns. And it was impressing. They say "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link" and Chernyakhovsky is very capable to remove one weak chain after another doing his splash damage to enemy units in vicinity and creating thus chain reaction. Usually an enemy general in campaigns is just sitting in fortified cities supported by conventional troops on all sides. When Chernyakhovsky eliminates one defender after another each time he damages this general and walls as well. And splash damage can be critical. When it's time to attack this general himself he is already severely wounded. I was less than impressed by his performance. It's more infuriating when Chernyakhovsky fails to kill the unit. But I'm not that skilled a player so it might not be a problem for you. 2 splashes can make Chernyakhovsky's total damage higher than any other tank general, but whether people can consistently make that happen is another issue. Among the IAP tank generals, Chernyakhovsky and Wittmann rely more heavily on resources (medals, elite forces, ribbons) than others. That's true. We can't evaluate a general or a unit in a vacuum. And since the number of medals is limited we have to keep in mind their potential distribution between our generals. And quite likely the players who bought Chernyakhovsky have a bunch of other top tier Tank generals as well. And there is a difference between elite tanks as well. As andrei pointed out, until newly released tanks are decently upgraded King Tiger and T72 are the best vehicles we had. |
