Imo Spruance will be best in overall, while others would be performance-wise ranked as follow:
2nd Place: Spaatz
Better than Spruance in killing AA protected units but otherwise offer no extra support ability on his own.
3rd Place: Richthofen
His heavy reliance on the unique skill puts him in a bad spot in soloing lone enemy, but give him elite carrier or excellence medal will allow him to contribute greatly on sieging even an enemy general with AA protection.
4th Place: McCampbell
He hits harder against units without AA protection but otherwise no different than free air gens.
5th Place: Chennault
He can stop units he attacked from countering friendly units but otherwise no different than free air gens. Best of the free gens.
6th Place: Yamaguchi
Simply put: a lesser Spruance in overall. 2nd place among the free gens.
7th Place: Eisenhower
Simply put: a lesser Yamaguchi in overall.
8th Place: Yamamoto
Performance-wise best of the older generation carrier gens (pre-bio Eisenhower included) and 5th place among the free gens (because he’s expensive).
9th Place: Arnold
If you want it, he probably can do it. 3rd place among the free gens.
10th Place: Nimitz
Simply put: a lesser pre-bio Eisenhower, and Arnold triumphs against him by having 1 more air star. 4th place among the free gens.
11th Place: Dowding
You can try, and he probably can do it somehow. 6th place among the free gens.
12th Place: Halsey
Dowding triumphs against him by having 1 more air star.
13th Place: Colson
Essentially having only 3 skills without carpet bombing when on carrier.

Carrier gen is normally wasted gen assignment

I bought Spruance for my Enterprise and it's a priority placement for me now. Absolutely bonkers in Conquest and provides great overall support in events as well. The 2 attack range of Enterprise + Sailor on Spruance make it a tough ship to bring down for destroyers and cruisers. Subs can easily be dispatched with bombers.

Carrier gen is normally wasted gen assignment If it is not a high level elite carrier If there are no subs, I'd take a super carrier, to be honest. At least it should perform better considering that these bombers do better than normal bombers against AA weapons. Agree, though. An elite carrier (basically just a GOG3 carrier) is good. A high lvl elite carrier works wonders.
Anyways, what makes Yamamoto different from Arnold when observing purely carrier gen capability? Arnold can slap on one useful navy skill like Wolfpack (support) or Radar / Depot Ship (survive) which is more than enough. Yamamoto can take more skills, but are they needed? You're paying 1,000 more medals for slots you don't really need and *s that don't benefit, from a carrier standpoint. For only this one role, we don't need to evaluate too much, to be honest. |

It is basically contest for p2w generals . On regular carriers every f2p Air general with AL and Carpet boots is equal to another. Since Chennault has one more useful skill he is the best f2p carrier general. Since elite carriers combine qualities of both Carrier and Battleship Halsey is probably the best f2p option, but since Chennault first skill is not limited with one attack he can be a very interesting option again, disabling the most dangerous opponents all over the place at once. |
