He is not supposed to be given a medal on his crowd tactics, his crowd tactics is supposed to be a bonus only. His real strength is his air power. Actually, air force is great and very useful if you are able to use it properly. His carpet bombing is very useful as well. When you use nuclear-powered missiles with Arnold stationed in the city with lv5 carpet bombing, the nuclear will do +40% damage to the troop stationed inside the city (weakest nuclear dmg 280×40%=392).
Air forces are used as SUPPORT (it's in the name, Air Support). They are supposed to support and not attack alone as main force (just like artilleries are supports, you don't use them to wipe out the entire field alone). Air forces air especially effective to take away dangerous targets such as Zhukov or Govorov on artillery, Yamashita and Mannerheim in infantry, decrease enemy hp to decrease their attack, to wipe enemy dangerous units with low health, to support your panzer so they can assasult, and to carpet-bomb empty cities and then paradrop. Air commanders are useful for all of those purposes and even in rockets (ballistic missiles) and nuclear warfare. The main purpose is to wipe dangerous artilleries (that's why the terrorists have air-defense on their artilleries). In the modern war you will more likely to use Arnold to launch missiles (sometimes loaded with nuclear).
For anyone exploiting his rumor and crowd on the ground. Stop! Let the old man rest in the city while giving nice air and missile supports. He died of heart attack, so it's clear you shouldn't bring him to the front line of the battlefield to trigger his heart attack 😂
As for his crowd medal you have probably given him, you should have given it to someone more worthy. Who is that? Stay tuned to my general reviews on each general discussions!😄

As for your point on not moving him, if you are content with letting yourself get smashed in a defensive, static position, then you can leave him be. I play more aggressively, moving to take cities whenever I can. No time to waste. With this, my air general needs to be constantly keeping up in range, especially if I lack enough resources to unlock higher-tier airports or missile facilities, or have just not reached the sufficient level yet. Following the premise that he needs to move, I dont see why you should undermine rumor and crowd tactics. Then again, individual playing style, though I must interject here: Constant movement lightens the enemy's spam, and finishing faster is a good thing on many levels |

Conversely, Dowding needs to stay put, since he is a resource-oriented general. But he's not as relevant, thus cannot be used to support/rebuke any point

It is good to move him as much as you can, but some players like to exploit his ground abilities (which is not that much) and throw away his air force (his main capability). I use him as my mobile air and ground support as well. |

Definitely both, I would never think once of sacrificing his air potential, thats why I use both  |

Hmm. Arnold seems pretty good but idk if he's really good tho.
When I use him, I don't find much difference than not using him. The anti-air missile makes his air strikes useless, I have generals with heavy rumor so Arnold doesn't really do much, and his output is just so low in general.
I think Yamamoto will be a better choice if you have the medals.

I think Yamamoto will be a better choice if you have the medals. He also has a average artillery skill so he better on land then Arnold. Still it takes time to gain medals and Arnold is not a bad choice for air cover. |

Adding rumor and upgrading air leader is also a great way to make him better. He is even more powerful then wc3 version. |

Ok hopefully that'll help. But, I have no medals right now from upgrading Donitz so I'm going to have to wait a bit. |

They get medals surprisingly fast. Oof I already completed everything except UN hard so I can only get medals through invasions. At least I can get like 150 medals each day from invasions. |

Best thing about Arnold is that he doesn’t need any optimization aside from nameplate promotions.

Um what skill should I add to Arnold? I'm thinking of an economic skill or an arty skill. Or explosives. What skill should I get for him?
