Any way to rebind "retreat", "reverse" etc?
I play a lot of other RTS, and i have their key bindings in such a way that makes sense.

COH 3 is PAINFULLY against this, which means i have to "click" things like retreat and such, which is very problematic from effective/fast micro standpoint

Ive looked through the settings and see no adjustment available?

I will no-♥♥♥♥ refund if there is no means to adjust this, as im not gonna ruin the muscle memory of 3 other RTS i play, to satisfy one

What?

There's a hotkey. By default it's R for infantry, AFAIR. Only infantry can be recalled to HQ.

I've played other RTS'es alright. There's no such thing you're talking about.
CoH series seems to be pretty unique, and forgivable, in this regard.

I find that R for retreat or reverse is perfect. No idea why OP is so salty about it tbh

Because you can inadvertently retreat infantry while trying to reverse vehicles.

I use AutoHotKey. ive been using it since COH2 and it works like a charm. message me if you need help ill share my binding scripts.

You can change your grind to your desired keys.

You can change R to something else, but you cannot separate out the retreat key from the reverse key. Both actions are bound to the same key that is assigned to that grid position.

The retreat and reverse button for identical hotkey are in the same grid key. This is an issue when you're in a frenzy situation, you hit the exact same hotkey for both reverse and retreat order, you might mistakenly retreat squads when you actually wanted to reverse a vehicle instead and vice versa. The retreat and reverse orders should have both separate grid keys so the player cannot longer press the same hotkey by mistake and that both orders are applied accordingly for both vehicles and squads. OR you can prioritize the retreat order button before the reverse order button like it was already the case in CoH 2.

The OP wants to know if you can rebind your hotkeys when 10 seconds spent in the options menu tells you that you can

Why are you still using an autohotkey script when you can rebind everything in this game through the options menu?

Where?

I see no place to rebind retreat, reverse, etc

Because OP is complaining about retreat and reverse, even if he found the place to configure the grid hotkeys, it would not have solved his problem because you cannot independently configure the retreat action from the reverse action.

Settings
controls
view and remap controls
grid keys
R is the for reverse and retreat click it to then pick a new key for it.

I use Autohotkey for COH. Then you can rebind map rotate to e.g. MMB or MB4 too. Simple to use and makes rebinding anything to anything very easy,

This game is a non-starter for me, for this reason alone (incidentally, it's also the reason I quit CoH 2). Why are the devs unwilling to resolve this awful oversight? What a joke.

When you have infantry and vehicles selected R only works for the vehicles leaving the infantry stranded.
