Attack Helicopter
Complete Level 1–7 doctrine comparison for the Attack Helicopter. This rotary-wing strike platform is built primarily to destroy hard ground targets, but doctrine changes its secondary air, naval and reconnaissance performance significantly.

// Doctrine Difference Alert //
● Significant
Eastern Doctrine
+50% ship damage, +33% aircraft damage. The Eastern line gains the strongest displayed helicopter / aircraft interaction and keeps solid anti-armor performance.
Western Doctrine
+20% ship damage, +25% aircraft damage. The Apache line reaches the highest displayed L7 hard-target attack: 15.5.
European Doctrine
+33% soft damage, +25% sight range. The European line gains the strongest soft-target output and 40 sight instead of 32.

Range Upgrade
Attack range changes by doctrine and level. The supplied screenshots show the long-range 450 profile appearing at different progression points; the calculator must therefore use the exact doctrine/level record.
Doctrine Selection // What Actually Changes?
Eastern: strongest displayed helicopter and aircraft interaction, especially at high level.
European: strongest soft-target damage and 40 sight through the doctrine bonus.
Western: strongest displayed hard-target damage, reaching 15.5 at Level 7, and earlier late-level research timing.
