Use for Luftwaffe Field Officer?

[Nubby Gubs]

Asking because I havent had much time to play since the patch released, any neat uses for the unit? Is it basically just the Artillery Field Officer but with some other abilities?

Supposedly, more supportive ability-wise. Arty officer have smoke, arty coordination, mortar strike. Luftwaffe have recon, smoke drop run and strafe run. In combat, they behave the same without ability.
So yes, I guess.

It's like the rocket of the firefly don't ever use it.

I have yet to test it in multiplayer.

Looks like Luftwaffe officer is better in early/mid game, while artillery can potentially be more useful for late, once you get one or two Panzerwerfers to shoot twice with them.

In my opinion, they should add Luft officer to the Close support Doctrine.

Wehr Ostheer should be a faction that has a heavy focus on officers. To add them in doctrines is a win for me.

It's the Assault Officer: Luftwaffe Edition™
And Assault Officer is the Assault Grenadier: Utility Edition™

so artillery officer could also probably be better in teamgames since you have the ability to go with more rocket trucks and less tanks while still getting tons of tank support, so luftwaffe may be better in 1v1s and 2v2s since you can really only make 1 panzerwerfer reliably.
