No matter which reaction fire mode I select the game reserves TUs of the default one (Snap shot usually). To be honest I can't really judge which firemode is used in combat so it is even possible that reaction fire mode setting doesn't work at all. This is a showstopper for the next stable release imho.

I'll check up on this as best I can this evening. It seemed that yesterday when I started playing, my soldiers did use reaction fire and they seemed to be using the assault rifle 3-round burst rather than snapshot.

For me the amount of time units reserved was also correct (12 when using 3R busrt, 8 when snapshot). Running version ufoai-2.4-dev-1305475972.

However, there were some rumblings on the forum about reaction fire mode setting changing between missions, so that you need to fiddle with the settings rather often.

There is also a thread which may be related: http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=5959.0

The TU reservation happens when RF is activated for the active RF-firemode. If the firemode is changed afterwards the TU reservation is NOT updated.
If there are enough TU remaining RF should still work.
To get the new TU Reservation you have to de- and reactivate RF.

I think there was a forumthread, but I couldn't find it at the moment.
