"Click engie 2. Shift click engies 3,4,5 - shift click map to drop location 2"

You do not have to hold shift while you click on engies 3, 4, and 5. You can select/deselect multiple engies for a drop without holding shift.

there really technically is no illegal thing to do in-game. if you attempt to team kill the game will automatically detect it and prompt the teamkilled player if he wishes to report you which he can choose to do or not do at his discretion, if he does repeat offenses could amount to a temporary ban.

other than that you're free to do whatever game maneuver you like.

hover bombing is more or less patched out via bombing run lengths and turn radius nerfs, if you can pull it off on the aeon strat bomber, good for you, have at it. If you're able to pull it off with other bombers too have at it too.

you can depending on how deep into the water he is. t4 arty shells are mostly quite big aoe and thus decent water depth, but there's a hard cap to how deep in-water damages can go I dunno how to give you a good idea in measurements but basically 4/5th's commander's height is where all aoe underwater damages from surface shell explosions stop.

so basically not that deep, some maps don't have that much depth at all.

this is to my knowledge I will test more to confirm. (here's my replay to test some of this) :

You can use shift to select many items in a transport
Click engie 1 - shift click map to drop location 1
Click engie 2. Shift click engies 3,4,5 - shift click map to drop location 2
Drop all remaining units location 3 (less clicks than selecting engie 6 manually)

No comment on other questions

How do you hover bomb with a t3 bomber and is it just the aeon it works with?? Is it a legal thing to do ingame?

Also, is it possible to load a transport with 6 units and then queue it up to drop the 1st engineer at a first location, the next 4 engineers at a second location and then the remaining 6th engineer at a third location? As far as I know the only way to drop more than one unit is to drop `all remaining` units at that time as opposed to a specific number that is more than one...hope that makes sense

Also, if you use a mavor or other t4 arty to ground fire an acu in the water does it do full normal damage and kill the acu?

Is there any way to prevent units being added to the control group of the factory that produced them?

I certainly do. However I tend to stick these questions up after a game because I need to go sleep and don't have the time. Plus the info may be of use to others. In a manner this thread has shown the learning curve of a newbie which may hopefully be of use to others. FAF is a ridiculously complex game and if you don't have masses of spare time to play then the curve takes longer.

Farms will one day be one of these grumpy forum dwellers who rather spend their apm linking a relevant wiki article than typing the actual answer.

if i grab a load of asf's (or whatever) and give them a move order, but some of them are out of fuel, will all the asf's move at the speed of the slow out-of-fuel units?

No, the SMD does not stop a billy. It's a tactical missile so only TMD will fire at it.

Yes that seems to be it, I do recall having shift held down when targetting thanks!
