Consumable keys on RN cruisers

[Norlin79]

I am presently using the Fiji, Belfast and Edinburgh more or less alternately. However the one thing that is frustrating is how the consumable key changes from ship to ship. I can't count the number of times that I have automatically gone to use the smoke in Belfast, only to see I have hit the radar instead. It would be nice if all ships used the same key for each consumable.

There are a number of ships like this ... why they could not standardize their own key assignments is... well... beyond logic.

Same here, you would not belive how many times I wasted a charge of smoke because of this problem. It wouldn't be to hard for WG to organize each consumable to a certain slot.

Yeah I hear ya...They should standardise the keys for certain commands and keep it consistent.  They ought to just use the FUNCTION key row and eliminate the duplicate chatter which I am sure everyone gets sick of in game.  Oh well its a work in progress....

Like the Takao...going to repair but hitting the sonar instead. Cost me a few ranked battles

I thought you can change the keybindings, is it global and not per ship?

[Teephud]

No doubt!  Really annoying.  In addition to the Fiji and Belfast, I also play USN destroyers a lot, which use a different key from either.  You should be able to choose the slots your consumables go in.  I can't tell you the number of times I've wasted the wrong consumable, zoomed in on a target, only to realize I was getting shot at because I was sitting out in the open all naked.

You can reassign T to F, but if T does something different on ship X than ship Y then F will now do the same two different things.
