Red Alert Tutorial - How to shift and group Tanks AND Helicopters
This is a basic hotkey setup you can use to attack 2 places at once. I've seen other variations, but this feels the most comfortable to me; it's hard to miss the space bar with your thumb ;-). Use your left hand only.
First set your bookmarks:
Shift W on war factories
Shift R on tank attack point
Shift Space on helipads
Shift V on helicopter attack point
Next, place your index finger on F: you should feel a bump on this key, so you know where you are. Then use the following fingers:
Tanks
W = Ring finger
E = Middle finger
R = Index finger
Shift = Thumb
1 = Middle finger
Ctrl = Thumb
1 = Middle finger
Helis
Space = Thumb
E = Middle finger
V = Index finger
Shift = Thumb
2 = Middle finger
Ctrl = Thumb
2 = Middle finger
You can then cycle through the following combination to inflict damage at 2 places simultaneously:
W E R Shift 1 Ctrl 1 Space E V Shift 2 Ctrl 2
If you want to practice this, you can open notepad and type it over and over until you make zero mistakes.
