Hot Key for Rail Mvt Poll

[Dog Soldier]

I have seen the discussion for an easier way to change units status in and out of rail mode. Another recent post got me thinking, is it only a vocal minority who would like to see this feature? So here is a poll I set up to see if this is something players really want.

Current function
Hot Key: R - turn the selected units clockwise.

Proposed change
R - Change Rail Mode

Seems logical. I can't remember the last time I changed facing.

[Gordons HQ]

I agree a much better use for the R key if it can be implemented.

[alaric99x]

Yes, of course, R key for rail mode. Facing change is so infrequent that it doesn't need a dedicated key.

[FLG]

I would actually like a hot key for Find Unit.

However, that is just fantasy land, so I vote for r=rail. And while we are at it lets have shift-r, when a HQ is highlighted, put all capable subordinate units into rail mode simultaneously. That would really save some time.

[Krak]

It gets my vote R=Rail

[Glenn Saunders]

8 hours later there is 10 vots cast, but 84 views of the thread. Does that mean 70 people don't care?

Perhaps the 70 people have either not played games where this would be useful or like me forgot to log in before voting. I doubt the later most people are not that brain dead

[von Waldenburg]

Definately yes, I asked for this change some years ago.

[Hadge]

I agree with the concensus mooted so far - r = rail

The only game I can remember where facing would be an issue is in N44 with regard to the coastal artillery; I never use the 3D format for playing, so effectively the "r" hotkey is redundant FMPOV
