Most military charts are predicated on HOGE, because they are helicopters, after all! The Standard US military design point is mission gross weight, Army hot day (4,000 feet and 95 deg F) or Marine Hot Day (3000 ft and 91.5 deg F) and either HOGE or 500 feet per minute vertical climb (about HOGE plus 10% extra power).

That is until the LUH competition, unfortunately....
