Hey guys.

 

I was playing a skirmish game and not sure what I pressed but my selected tanks came up with "CRITICAL unit(s) selected" or something? I've never noticed or seen this before so am unsure what it is. I thought I'd get some insight from here..

It's the Health Navigation command ()Keyboard - Selection).

I never knew RA2 had a health navigation command?

I think there's also one for promoted units (veterans?)

most things most people will already know, but for me there were some interesting commands i didnt know about.

When I tried the first time, I pressed "C" trying to "cheer" but it turns out "C" activates the health navigation command.

Red Alert 2 - Options - Keyboard

I didn't read all the responses, but this command is useful in high-level play where moving injured units/tanks to the back of the group will allow them to get more hits off before dying. In between battles this is quite critical. 

 

From what I understand, however, this command has to be manually set (it does not have a default button w/ the regular install). I have it set as `/~, so it is close to my #1.

The oldest trick in the book is to move back your Elite tank (when you can anticipate them click-attacking it) so that all your other units give hits, whilst taking none in return.

i found them, you must asssign them yourself because their not turned on automaticly.
