HP for air and naval generals is less important because air generals take less damage and because the units you put naval generals into have so much starting HP. You can keep a naval general alive for an entire conquest even when engaging in lots of battles and even with a marginal rank.
Personal preference means something. If you like a particular general, that’s all that matters. But I highly disagree that Dowding or any other air general who does not have good naval skill is a wise purchase for someone looking for the best generals to help them complete any aspect of the game. You are almost always better off using any other land general than you are an air commander. The costs of attacking with an air commander are prohibitive until late game and they simply don’t hit as hard as any other type of attack, even when you don’t consider the massive damage mitigation provided by air defenses. Similarly, putting a guy like Nagumo in a cruiser is almost always a better option than using an air general in a carrier.

To be clear, I wouldn’t suggest buying Halsey, either. If you are dead set on using air power and don’t want to wait for Yamamoto, a hybrid Navy/Air guy is the better choice. I don’t remember how much Nimitz costs at full discount, but he would be the best option over Halsey and certainly Dowding. Nimitz has end game utility as a naval general and can be used for air attacks or in a carrier if you like that playstyle.

Naval-Air generals are to be used separately. You can only use them either on land air force or navy. Putting them in aircraft carriers would be useless as they can only attack once each turns. The point of air force is to aid you armies in emergency when you need quick actions to strike the enemy or bomb a city + paradrop. You can't also use their naval power on aircraft carriers as they can only counterattack and only destroyers can be counterattacked by aircraft carriers. Their rank buff and rumors can't be put into play as well. Also, air commanders buff missile strikes which they can't perform on aircraft carriers. So a navy-air generals are to be used separately on navy alone or on ground units stationed in cities with airports and missile silos. Carpet bombing is important as it also buffs nuclear damage.

I bought Eisenhower and saved up for discounted Nimitz because i was stuck in cold war campaign... then i sold my Fletcher for Nimitiz so i can add ‘rumour’. glad that ppl still play this game in 2020. i played so much during lockdown period haisss |
