Ignorant/Noob question, from an otherwise competent player

Dealer of Death · May 22nd 2021, 4:48pm

Now, I am asking this question, mainly because I only really used officers (besides naval and fixed wing) in the 2nd half of my CoN "career", and I just so happened to never be in a position to test a situation that would reveal the answer, so I remain as ignorant as a noob in regards to the answer.

Anyway, the question:

At level 3, the Tank Commander gains the "amphibious" ability. Does this apply to all the units he is stacked with, or just the tank commander alone?

Now, since the obvious intended use of officers, is to improve a stack, it would seem kinda stupid if it was a solitary ability. (or only useful if stacked with Amphibious Fighting vehicles)

And furthermore, how does the "storm Position" ability apply? Single or stack?

only the "army boost" is given to other units in the stack; everything else only works for the officer

I suspected as much, but it seems really stupid, given the role as a booster unit. Like with the T2 NO being stealth, who wants to risk their Officer unit all off by his lonesome to be killed or even attacked (takes forever to heal officers) when they cost as much as a stack of regular units in resources???

So if a lvl 3 tank commander is stacked with 3 MBTs and the stack is ordered to go across a river, the whole stack will go around to get there, correct? The tank commander won't break off and go directly across, right, because you didn't "split" the units.

Not on an enemy, just in range
