reaction fire fix?

<< < (3/6) > >>

wcanyon:
I did just see a reaction fire happen. 6 guys pointing at the door of a UFO. 2 had double pistols, rest had rifles (maybe one GL in there). All had "save TU for reaction fire" turned on. 3 aliens pop out and shoot at me. Of the 6 guys pointing at the door, only one of the ones that had a pistol fired back. So maybe it's just rifles?

Either way, I think I'm gonna put this game away until next version. Autoresolve is behaving strangely and reaction fire is broken.

use the search in the Contribute section, there are several pages that discuss what was changed and why it was changed.

the TUs of the fire mode affect when a soldier fires, so selecting an apropriate wappon/firemode might help


additional notes (if I remember the sourcecode correct)

* the soldiers don't waste ammunition, so if the chances to hit are to low, they don't shoot (so experienced soldiers and an apropriate wappon/firemode might help)
* the soldiers don't harm friendly units or civilians, if the probabillity to hit one of them is to high they don't shoot

No it is not, but in 2.2 it was broken - it was way to powerful ;)

You're assuming I didn't do that. I did. All 6 had reaction fire mode checked and had save time for reaction fire (the shield button) was turned on.

it is probably not about having the tu and having the checks, but about using low tu firemodes for reaction fire.
like smg on single shot (lol).
or, as said, flamer (i guess that must have been candlelight).

Great game, when it works   :(  reaction fire is more important then anything else!
Please fix it.
