Ulfric is not physically more capable to fight in war. He is physically more capable in Assault scale due to his Thu'um ability.

Patience in war dialogue as you said, has many problems against Ulfric. Number one, he is making the most amateurish and unforgivable mistake in the art of war. Relying solely on getting numbers to defeat his foe. Tullius who can make do with what he has. It is not just the Stormcloaks who are gaining troops, the Imperials have people joining them as well. It was stated clearly that Skyrim's opinion was divided between Stormcloaks and Imperials.

First, Tullius did not send his men to death. Ulfric did. It was Ulfric's men that was being slaughtered from the dialogue. Second Ulfric is ignorant of the strategic value of Winterhold, seeing the Empire's attempt to take Winterhold as foolish. The Imperials have the Rift, acquiring Winterhold will result in a complete surrounding of Windhelm and ideal for a pincer strike. I am surprised you didn't see such a 101 level's value.

Tullius was sending his men to take Winterhold with strategic purpose. Ulfric was sending his men to gain sympathy of the people.

Strategic vs utterly useless emotions.

It only seems to you an accurate assessment that Ulfric is better than Tullius as a military leader. Tullius is better than Ulfric as a military leader. Tullius is not a King and I don't have much about Tiitus Mede II to give any assessment. Ulfric had made multiple critical mistakes making him fail as an overall Leader/King of the Stormcloaks.

Therefore, it was failure on your perception part to see that Ulfric is a useless weakling of a leader and I am being polite about him.
