Reacton-Fire leads to Friendly-Fire(2.0-RC4)

[Kerner]

I have two soldiers with "reacton-fire" activated,the second directly behind the first one.
If an alien shows up,it happens from time to time that the one from behind shots onto the enemy but hits his teammember in the back,who is obviously in the line of fire:

[alien] - - - - - - - - - - - - [Soldier 1] - [Soldier 2,fires and hits Soldier 1!]

Is it a bug or a feature?

happened to me too ... id say it is a feature if both soldiers are standing ... but if [soldier 1] is ducked ... i dont think s2 should be able to hit him

I posted about this too in my suggestion thread.   It REALLY needs to be fixed.

No real soldier would fire if a friendly was standing right in front of him, lol.  The game needs to be made so that if a friendly is in the direct line of fire it will simply report "can't take reaction shot - line of fire blocked"

I die more from friendly fire than from enemy fire.

IIRC the check is implemented, but buggy.
