4) Launching the Helo. How long it takes? An hour? Can I launch it at mission start, like 5 minutes?

It takes one hour to get one of the helicopters out of the hanger and to launch so plan ahead. At the start of each mission, set your helos both to at least Alert Status 30. That means that the helo will take 30 minutes to roll out of the hanger and get it ready for launch. Alert 15 puts the helo out on the deck without it's rotors spinning and it will take it 15 minutes to get airborn. Alert 5 means that it's on the deck with the rotors spinning and it's good for liftoff in 5 minutes.
I always set my helos to status 30 at mission start because I don't like them sitting on the deck just in case something happens right off the bat in the mission that could kill it. Those things are pretty essential to the defense of the FFG.
