In my opinion, Tito should be an elite infantry general, on par with Mannerheim at least.
Three stars on an infantry and bronze category is a crime, especially for the historical signifigance that he holds, along with the actual war accolades.
Pretty much every French general is overrated. I can't think of one other than Wegyand that is actually decent, but still.
Monty should be better, maybe a little worse than Rommel, not 10 times worse.
MacArthur is kinda underrated too.

I kinda understand why McArthur isn't too good in this game. He blundered a lot in ww2 and managed to mess up so bad in the cold war Truman relieved him... so he's 'shiny' (6 inf stars) but low key uselss

Im not knowledgeable in wc4 but i know a thing or two about history. i personally disagree with McArthur being underrated he’s a glorified hero who’s reputation didn’t really match with his actual military achievements because he was a selfish general who never cared about his troops but more of his personal fame and reputation. Like for example the Defense in Philippines, the push in Yalu river, and Australia but that’s just my opinion. |

Weygand was bad irl. War hero of ww1 but antiquated (same goes for Gamelin). Petain was good in WW1, perhaps one of the best, hence he was good in EW6 1914, but his behaviour in WW2 need not be explained. Darlan doesn't deserve to be this good tbh- what a two faced man. De gaulle we dont even need to talk about... basically French McArthur. Tassigny, Juin, and LeClerc were actually good generals and deserve so much more than what WC4 gave them...
Btw Im not a history major so if anyone wants to correct me please do, lol

Easytech did a decent job on generals based on them irl, but of course there are mistakes... Examples of where easytech did the right thing Higuchi: did a lot of work in saving Jews, props to him! Wasn't prosecuted for war crimes too. Simo Hayha and Vasily Zaitsev: need I explain? (They were not generals IRL but fine) Rommel: maybe not the best general but definitely an honourable man Manstein: great general and great man Dowding: great air chief marshal, went to my school  definitely deserves it Clark: Battle for Rome. Just why? Good thing he's not that good in the game... Nimitz: carried the US Navy Examples of where easytech went wrong Darlan: two-faced admiral, couldn't save his fleet McArthur: overrated general, only cared about his reputation, too big for his boots Slim: IMO was a much better general irl than Monty, why bronze? Monty: see above Leslie: was a legend irl, why so bad in game? |

definitely deserves it
