Staggered refire?

[snekly lexeSwudenOkel]

If you select a weapon group and fire by clicking, you fire all weapons of that group at once. After that, if you select the group and press E, the whole group will refire their shots at once. Now, if you select that group, aim and press right click, you fire the group in a staggered way, which means only one weapon of the group fires per click. This is especially useful for firing mortars or rockets, because staggered shots are much harder to shoot down for AA like Flak.
Now my question: Is it possible to use refire (E), but as staggered fire? Because reaiming with the mouse every time is just a pain and decreases APM.

Edit: To add, I think I saw that functionality in one of Incursus' videos recently, but can't pin it down. This is how I was drawn to that functionality in the first place.

Quick aiming with E is not adviced as it is much more innaccurate than manual aim.

If you quick aim enough, your weapons wont fire in a concentrated point. This is generally something you want to do in order to pierce the enemys defenses.

If you press E the door for your weapons will also stay open for longer. Making your weapons easier to snipe.

I don't really understand what you mean with that. Also, why wouldn't I use refire with mortars or such, it's totally acceptable.

The default hotkey for individual refire of grouped weapons is 'Y'.

And it is indeed quite useful.

Thanks for the answer, I saw that in controls and tried it, it didn't work. I'll try it out more, now that I know it is the right key!

I have now figured out why the shortcut wasn't working for me. Turns out, the game can't differentiate between QWERTY and QWERTZ, so in order to make it work you just have to pretend that Y is Z and vice versa. Hope this helps some folks

That's good to know. You can also customize your hotkeys under Options in the main menu, Input tab. The "All Keys" tab includes the commonly used hotkeys as well as a lot of hotkeys specific to the map editor.
