Rotary Wing Officer
The Rotary Wing Officer — shown in-game as the Helicopter Veteran — is the command unit for helicopter stacks. It fights as a helicopter itself, boosts helicopter attack and speed for units in its army including itself, and later gains cruise-missile capability.

Army Boost
The officer grants helicopter combat bonuses to units in his army including himself. The captured boost progression is identical across Eastern, Western and European screenshots.
Late-Game Boost
At Level 7 the officer provides +35% helicopter ATK and +20% helicopter speed, making him a major multiplier in a dedicated helicopter stack.
Cruise Missile
The missile research node unlocks a separate capability: the officer can fire a cruise missile every 12 in-game hours.

Combat Intelligence // Officer Is More Than A Buff Unit
Own Combat Stats
The officer keeps its own target-specific attack and defense values. These are separate from Army Boost and must remain separate in the calculator.
Ships, Air & Other Targets
The screenshots show separate combat columns for multiple target classes, including surface ships and additional air / special target categories. Do not reduce the officer to one generic attack value.
Self-Inclusion
The Army Boost tooltip explicitly states that the officer grants bonuses to units in his army including himself.
Cruise Missile Capability
Missile research unlocks cruise-missile use with a 12-hour in-game firing cycle. Treat this as a separate capability rather than normal direct-combat damage.
Calculator Logic // Stack Application
How The Officer Should Be Applied
1. Add the Rotary Wing Officer as a normal helicopter unit with its own HP, speed, target-specific attack/defense, range and detection values.
2. Read officer level and apply the matching Army Boost: ATK +5% to +35% and SPD +5% to +20%.
3. Apply that bonus to eligible helicopter units in the same army, including the officer itself.
4. Keep cruise-missile capability separate: one firing opportunity every 12 in-game hours after the relevant missile research is unlocked.
5. Keep doctrine-specific officer records even though the captured Army Boost table matches across all three doctrines.
Research Intelligence // Doctrine Trees
Eastern
The Eastern tree progresses through Basic, Advanced and Modern Helicopter Veteran stages with intermediate sensor, combat and missile research nodes.
Western
The Western tree follows the same officer-stage structure, with its own unlock timing and intermediate capability nodes.
European
The European tree likewise follows Basic → Advanced → Modern, with intermediate research nodes between the main officer stages.
Important
Intermediate research icons are capability upgrades, not automatically new officer levels. Missile nodes are stored as cruise-missile unlock metadata.
