Trying to recall what this was good for in NTW. I believe Fire by Rank's benefit was that it would damage the morale of the enemy more than just normal shooting? Correct me if I'm wrong.

It is devestating, three volleys and ashigaru will rout unless there a general near by!
On normal difficulty, fire by rank is absolutely devastating! Ashigaru always run unless they are rallied. Samurais rout, too, before even reaching your lines if there's no general nearby. I find a nice volley from veteran matchlock samurai to be one of the most enjoyable things to watch in the game. On harder difficulties,though, the AI gets a huge morale boost so this is less "exploitable".

So is there any reason NOT to fire by rank?
