my favorite 'Day of Days' (the episode) moment has to be at the end where Dick is upset and a bit snappy because he just lost a man and Nix is kind of oblivious, but understanding nonetheless.

Dick starts talking about Hall and Nix goes, "I never knew him," to which Dick replies "Yeah you did." instead of engaging, he's careful with the situation and tries to be as comforting as possible; near the end of the scene Nix notices Dick is still feeling guilty and inadequate because Hall died under his lead, so he goes on to tell Dick about how important his work was today: "I think it's gonna do some good." Dick leaves and only then does Nix showcase his frustration (by throwing out the can of food to God knows where). He's calm and collected while helping out Dick, who's obviously distraught, but then quickly reveals he's not as composed as we thought he was.

This is an important detail to Nix's character, I think. Whenever he's comforting Dick, he's gentle and soft but also reasonable and grounded, "That's not bad for Dukeman." Sometimes he just listens whilst Dick is complaining (which is admittedly pretty often): "This is about officers crapping out on their training, Nix," "(...) I can't get rid of Dike," "(...) I don't wanna see another piece of paper," etc etc etc. All this to say, I think it's pretty established that, when it comes to helping out his friends/Dick, he's pretty level-headed (see when Harry is wounded, he doesn't panic, instead he just says "You're not getting out of here that easy", recurring to humor). He's mad in only a handful of situations (most of them happening in 'Why We Fight', which is his breaking point), and he always has a clear head in combat. The real life Dick Winters thought so as well:

Lewis Nixon was the finest combat officer with whom I served under fire. He was utterly dependable and totally fearless.
