Cons: 1. Can't have 2 skills of your choice 2. Has Tide of Iron 3. Costs real money (13.99 USD) 4. Inferior to Guderian and Rommel 5. You can actually recreate him with Guderian Pros: 1. 6 star Panzer and Movement, and 4-5 stars on everything else 2. 4/5 useful skills 3. Available right away 4. Starts as a Marshal 5. Skills leveled up 1 or 2 levels Do the pros outweigh the cons? That's up to you. He's better than Rokossovsky though isn't he? I might swap him for Manstein when I can. Keep both. Rokkosovsky (and his equivalent, Rommel), if you put explosives on him, can almost be as good as Guderian, but Manstein most definitely still has uses. 4 tank generals is not a necessity, but it does help. |

I'm pretty much done with the game so I might just stack it with tank and naval generals, or maybe air generals. All I have left are the domination exercises. I am trying out generals in a mod and see what I like. Also, do you know if there's rank lists of the best generals in infantry, artillery, air and naval? I don't need tank since I see that discussed quite a bit on here. |

I don't need tank since I see that discussed quite a bit on here. Not too sure about any threads or anything, but I can give some quick help. For infantry, I can count on one hand where Yamashita and Rundstedt would be truly useful. They are the best two, nonetheless. Artillery is Konev, then Leeb and Zhukov tied at two; Leeb is better for comparing, and Zhukov is better at conquests. I do not think you need more than 2. Navy is Donitz, but I can easily see a case for Nimitz. For invasions Donitz easily wins (Wolfpack), but in campaign there is probably little difference. In conquest, and this likely only pertains to speed running, Nimitz has a certain role because of ace ability. Navy ships are hard to level up, and leveling yields a good bit of city damage, so Nimitz could win out. He is also cheaper. Air is Dowding and Arnold. Years ago there was argument for Yamamoto as a hybrid, but for purely air he is a rumorless Arnold who is considerably more expensive. Also, hybrids have no use. Dowding is really more about extra income and technology, and I almost never use his Air Force unless it’s missiles from afar. This is because he should not die, so he needs to be far from action. |

For infantry you forgot Marshall and MacArthur, Rundstadt is not that great in terms of offensive capacity, he better used as Econ or secondary airforce general. |

That was three years ago before the importance of mobility, explosives, and new metas emerged  |
