Im not arguing that you dont have an overview normally.. here, I will explain it to you in a detailed manner so you can understand better:
Imagine a normal 2v2 on RTC. Its midgame.
Anyways, to further the example lets say we have in our force -
- A sniper or mortar
- stuka or nebel
- a couple of grens with lmgs and shreks
- two paks
If you already have overview over where your units are, assigning specific unit types to control groups makes even more sense than normall. You can be microing your grens (which are closest to the enemy) against nades, mgs and tanks constantly switching targets while quickly pressing 1 to select your mortar or sniper behind them to switch to high priority targets like MGs that will supress you or other snipers without scrolling the screen or looking for them. Suddendly you see an at gun, but pressing 2 selects your paks in the back, instantly starting to snipe it. Your bike on the flank spots an infantry blob approaching, you press 3 to select your nebel and supress them before they can reach the pak line.
Im not saying I always use them, but I would never argue that I am playing 100% when I'm not using them. They are extremely handy when you are microing three fights at once.

wow I assign every squad a separate control group since i learned how to play this mod. I guess that's why I can usually not BLOB in one spot, and have efficient and quick reactions during flanking moves.
people actually play without using them?!

I suppose some people do, but it seems to me, as i got more and more used to the way things work here in EiR, i started to realize the staggering logic behind the control groups  |

The Axis win is self evident. WE WILL force our wrath upon the territory explicitly taking it for the hands that has won the prestige for the rightfully enforcement of this territory and i will say you that NO ONE will barge our way less they be swept away from the eminent defeat brought by greed and detest alike. Heed my words as the Axis will be profitably part of this conflict. |

I'm all for mods but theres a bid difference between a separate mod and a script or mini mod effecting the vanilla game. I take issue with you suggesting I am being naive, in fact my wealth of experience is what leads me to my conclusions.
I completely understand the difference between playing Counterstrike and bringing an AWP to a game of HL deathmatch. I reiterate and stand by my point that online everyone should be playing the same version of the same game and one player should be better than another based on their skill and experience and not their ability to download.
