can't fight back?

[hardsun]

I'm a Chinese player. I like xcom series games very much! Thank you for providing such a great game! I have a question. I remember in UFO1 and TFTD, if you keep TU for a soldier,  the soldier can fight back automatically when an alien appear. It seems that current version hasn't such function. Am I right? If so, hope to see the fuction in the next version.

There is a feature that allows this; Reaction Fire.  It can be toggled on and off, as well as allow multiple shots.  If I remember correctly, I believe the default key is "x" or you can click on the small icon in the lower panel somewhat toward the left.  (Sorry I don't have a screenshot handy at this moment.)

I think this feature is available in the 2.1 release as well as the beta - which version are you playing?

EDIT: Even when Reaction fire is enabled, there is still a chance a soldier might not be quick enough to act before an alien does, so there is still some risk and chance involved.

Thanks a lot! Now it works.  I'm playing 2.2 rev 13697
