Groups that Contain Vehicles from Different Categories (Ex: Unarmed + Armoured in one Group)

[Shmegegge 1-1 Aero]

Having the ability to make a group that contains vehicles from different categories would be extremely useful.  For example, if I had a convoy of unarmoured trucks I could give them AA and tank escorts in the same group.  That way they could communicate with each other and would follow a route determined in the ME at the same speed and the same spacing.

This is already possible now 

 

If you create a group of vehicles, you can change each individual unit to the category and type that you wish.

 

 

(combination of some specific units may cause pathing and movement issues, but that bug has been reported and acknowledged by ED. Though most units can be combined in one group without issues)

Nope, definitely not new

This has been available for a long time already

Sorry, I think I tried doing this a very long time ago but it changed all of the units in the group, and I have never tried it since because I never remembered to check if it changed in the changelog.

I'm going to delete this thread then, thanks for the help.

 

*Nevermind, I don't think I can delete this.

No problem mate. Glad "I" was able to grant you this wish so quickly
