When do you use attack-move?

When opponent is using blobs, then using attack-move is safer (I lost few times infantry using normal move because it moved straight into enemy fire, and when I saw this it was over )

Another time it is useful is when you opponent has a single capping squad taking an open point, such as one of the close spots on Semoisky Summer/ winter. When using a long ranged unit such as a gren squad the A move will initiate an attack at their optimal range vs close ranged units such as conscripts.
Other than that A move is not terribly useful because actual micro will put your units in better spots or focus fire. One of the failings of this game is target priority. You can clearly see this problem when you run into a blob A moving towards you. They will all stop around the same time and open fire on the closest unit.
I would never A move a tank

Allways, if I cant 100% babysit a unit. Smg units may be an exception.

Seriously, though, I actually never use it. I try to rely on just using hot keys and microing everything. That said, I have terrible micro and multi-tasking so maybe I should try using A-move in some situations.

when using maxims
Probably maxim is one of the worst units for using A-move.

I'm serious, unless the enemy is coming straight towards the maxim, he would be oustide the shooting cone way before the maxim has been deployed. Moving maxims in the open with A-move can be very risky, but it still can be used safely in narrow lanes where you can predict the enemy's path.
You could A-move maxims before nerfs, but now its deploying time, although still quick, is not fast enough to allow it to be used with Attack-move.
@wooof
I'm not complaining. Old maxim was OP indeed because it could be used just with a-move among other things.

Attackmove everything blob lololol yolo, or the normal a-click?
Because you should always a-click if you send units into the fog of war. It's not as bad as in Starcraft, were your units don't attack on the move at all, but still if you run past the enemy your units wont shoot.
And most importantly, you get to close to your enemy, and thats never good when you don't micro them, because then they die fast. If you attackmove, your units will stop at max range, and you have plenty of time to check in on them.
Right click is only if you want to run into cover under fire.
