Using colors in your team

[kolotei 10]

Well problem is, for large scale battle, like Warfare, you have to use different type of troops, so i do coloring them from menu 9, so is there any way to make a short cut for that colored groops? like ctrl + 1 is red colord and cntr + 2 is blue color group? it`s just very sloe to chouse each group by presing F*keys, and if group on next page you are have to chage page by pressing F12 and then chouse it...

As far as I know there's no way to make that kind of shortcuts, but you can select all members of a certain colour by pressing shift and selecting one unit of the team. For example shift+F2 would select ALL units who are in the same colored team with number 2.

What I find is that usually in a correctly set rifle squad (12 guys and me) the three fire team leaders are automatically grouped at the front of the numbers (2, 3 4, one being yourself), Arma does this by rank.

So going with Fincuan's advice, if you correctly color each fire team with it's FTL, you should already have soldiers 2, 3, 4 in different color, and can use SHIFT with those keys to select the entire fire team.

It gets problematic when the FTLs bite the dust, however. And for WARFARE you have to buy the units in the correct order.

I really miss the Arma1 spacebar interface with the ability to mouse-scroll/click select a color.
