did you press shift while ordering the attack order ? (anyway it works, you just gotta fix it on your side, maybe you unbinded it; you can also just press "g" it works too.)
But this belong to the help part of the forum.

it's called spread attack (and split move is on same hotkey)

No it doesn't.

Quoted from the wiki:

"Split Attack
thanks to Blackops team and johnie102

Split attack allows you to easily attack multiple targets. Bound to Shift-G by default.

Select some of your units. Make them attack a bunch of enemy units.

Press Shift-G.
Each of your unit is now attacking a separate group of enemy units."

When I select a bunch of my units and make them attack a bunch of enemy units (as per the wiki), this works as normal. However when I then press Shift+G (again, as per the wiki) NOTHING happens. It's as if I didnt press a thing.

I even looked through the keybindings in the menu, and tried searching for "Split Attack" but nothing comes up.

Just read through every page. Just seems to be people arguing about using it, still unclear whether it has been removed. All I know is, at this current moment in time, Shift+G is doing absolutely nothing in FAF.

Yes, it was the first thing that I done. The majority voted that they didn't want it removed. Can you explain to me exactly how that tells me if it's currently working? I did read through a few pages yes, however I didn't find my answer, so I asked the question. Isn't that what forums are for?

If you actually answered my question, instead of spending those seconds typing out a d*** response, it would have been much better for everyone.

Has this been removed already??

Just tried it in game (as per https://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?ti ... ions_(Mods)#Split_Attack) and absolutely nothing happened.

Thanks.

They already can if you use assist ground

Shift g is used a lot outside of acu blocking, since it's the most realiable way to make units move.

you are not even arguing on the main topic. Main topic is how we deal with the abuse of shift g (split move) for trapping acu.

every unit apart from exp can be block.
You would have to learn the opposite (letting com not getting blocked) which is not the most straight forward. And how would you make it behave with different tech unit ? It just seems way too much complication.

but how do you justify needing to learn that you can be com blocked? you don't. it's the mother of all edge cases.

nvm i kind of missread what you wrote/meant.

Anyway, as i stated before i like com blocking, it used to not be that easy to pull off.
Now with split move, it just make it insanely easy for everyone.

I get what katharsas meant by having a middle ground on pushing off unit.
i don't know if that's possible to pull off. Anyway i'm not in favor to it, 1st because it create another edge case you need to learn, and 2nd because it is an important part of the gameplay, like when you need to get your gun in range of the opponent acu for example. So changing that, would impact balance more than we think of.
