He is not bad, but he is not great. Cant say more as, offhand, i dont recognize his first base skill but....
He is also a silver tier infantry commander.
If you want infantry, get gold tier, imo.
I (already) have gold tier infantry leaders... Rundstedt, Malinovsky, MacArthur, Yamashita, Simo and if needed, i could use others like even Graziani, whom I gave the ambigous explosives, and Rumor skills so he could fill multiple roles.
I would rather have him, than have to invest in another infantry, armor, arty, navy commander.
Yes, even NAVY...he is not much worse than Helfrich either and this option is better than spending four times more for four different commanders.

If he had a 2nd open slot, Raider + Rumour / any other skill could've been used. He'd be even better than perhaps Yamashita and Rundstedt. Such a shame.
I found OP's choice of Rumour to be weird, but makes sense considering his support role to mark enemies without getting hit. I don't like an inf gen who can only play tag, though. Especially in many cases, it's preferable to have someone else considering the enemy's firepower.

I think he's better than Yamashita although he's slower (use mobility ribbon) and has only 3 skills and 1 free slot (for Raider or Rumour or Crowd Tactics). As he's cheaper and his first skill is Sokolovsky's second skill "Strategic Attack" (After commanding a unit to attack, if the target is not annihilated, there is a +x% chance that a tracking mark will be added to that target. Targets with tracking marks receive 20% more damage.) with Guerrilla which make him a good support unit.

Good for leading Brandenburgers and placing Rumor at will...

The old gold infantry generals have little advantage against the new silvers. Yamashita and MacArthur aren't much better than Higuchi while being a lot more expensive and start off weaker, and Meretskov is better than Rundstedt. By my initial observation, Meretskov has just surpassed Higuchi as the top pick for F2P infantry, beating him in all but Warzone. |

What Is new unseen infantry mechanics? They probably meant special abilities of Engeneers. |

Second best F2P infantry general, only behind Malinovsky. His unique ability is better than Yamashita's Ace Forces + Bayonet Charge by a long shot.
And I agree with Manstein that silver/gold is a rather arbitrary distinction nowadays. What really matters is star and skillset. And in terms of that, the only gen that can really hope to with Mereskov is Yamashita. Both Rundstedt and MacArthur has rather meh default skills that holds them back despite their extra skill slots.
Tankers is another example. Graziani, Patton and Roko are all technically gold star gens. But their default skills suck so much that I will question your game knowledge if you unironically say they are better than Bastico, List or Hoth who are silver.

Even new gold infantry general may not be better than new silvers, got Wavell today and his solo offensive ability is meh, lucky for him that I have Marshall who can save him some grace. |

I'll gladly replace him with Arnold. |

Trade Rundstedt for Arnold?
Why?
One is infantry, the other is Air, except that for my Rundstedt, who is infantry, Air, and resource, for now..thanks to his gold tier standing, he can have two open skill slots, higher rank and health, more stars and makes it worth while to have 3 Ribbon slots improving overall skills.
Aother reason I would never replace him with Arnold is that I also have Chennault, Dowding, and Yamamoto for Air and can easily include others like Nimitz, or even Monty f needed...but I dont.
I have, though, been considering recruiting Arnold for the newer elite units like the Hind...but dropping Run for this? Nah. I have the space in HQ, medals and patience to make better decisions.
Comparing a silver tier Air commander to a gold tier Infantry Commander isn't convincing and ....are apples and oranges.

Imo being Inf/Air/Resource general is Rundstedt’s best build, as I find myself quite often need him in this configuration when playing 39 or 43 challenge conquests as non-Russia Eastern European countries or Egypt, his ability to quickly open the Asian front carried me through many speedruns. |
