Halsey is 300-400 medals higher priced than Kuznetsov. If you were planning to put air star 5 once you get Kuznetsov get Halsey. Halsey may cost more but if you want air/navy Halsey is far better, that extra star maxes for the difference (in medals)+ Rumour, now you have possible endgame potential(?), with an extra carpet bombing. Then again, Nimitz who is way better than Halsey is just 300 medals more expensive than him. |

The problem with Halsey is, although he is good in theory, Kuznetsov is for mid game people and usable in the endgame Nimitz, Doenitz, and Yamamoto is for the endgame. Good generals just are in the wrong place. Who needs Halsey with and extra air star when Kuznetsov doesn't need that air star? Who needs Nagumo when you have Nimitz? Who needs Fletcher when Kuznetsov is better? |

Who needs Fletcher when Kuznetsov is better? This game doesn’t feature naval battles heavily unlike the Crimean War in EW6, so you don’t even need Dönitz and Yamamoto. Nimitz is enough. And if you want a powerful air general, get Arnold. 1300 medals cheaper than Yamamoto but has the same performance, in addition to having the same rank, 4 movement stars and Level 4 Rumor. He loses Yamamoto's naval stars, but due to his Rumor, Arnold is quite strong on submarines. |

Having a 6 star navy general pretty much just adds 50 to every attack (100 without). Air generals are really not needed imo. Dowding though would prove useful due to his economy skills (a thing I did not notice in my playthroughs). He can potentially give you 10 technology on any crap city. |

That’s true, but due to Arnold's built-in 4 movement stars and Level 4 Rumor costing practically the same as his purchase prize, Arnold has more cost effectiveness. |

He has 5 star air and carpet bombing. If I put him in a city with a lvl 3 airport, shouldn't he boost that airports striking power?

Why is Nimitz better than him? I only see an advantage in Nimitz for the 6 stars, but I can leave Halsey with 5 stars. Looks very good

So I am convinced that it was okay to buy Nimitz. |

But on a side note, Nimitz does have some not very good skills. Nimitz is more of a Air Carrier General then a Cruiser General. He is basically a Weaker Version of Yamamoto and I rather use Donitz for Navel Combat. |
