Why sometimes reaction fire not working? (2.5)

(1/2) > >>

D12ift:
sometime my plasma blaster troops with ball mode RF won't shoot .. once with hoverbot at 2 tiles away.. another with Plasma Blaster alien @ point blank range after he walking 3-4 tiles in my LoS and shoot -_-''

Anyone experienced this too?

P.S. I'm playing 2.5-dev IA-32 Oct 12 2013 Win32 RELEASE

CarlosMaximus:
Ball mode with a plasma blaster is an area effect shot, might this have something to do with it? Your soldier doesn't want to fry himself as well perhaps?

MonkeyHead:
You are right - sometimes, on reaction fire, soldiers will not shoot. Reaction fire is not a "100% certain get a shot off" thing - it is unrealistic to expect a soldier to successfully react to the enemy each and every time, especially as the aliens have superior reflexes to humans. This, IMHO, is a good thing - you should play agressivley, not sit back and hope to "react" to all alien sightings.

DarkRain:
As mentioned, the ball mode does splash damage, soldiers won't react if they are inside the radius, unless they have gone insane.

D12ift:
Ahh I see.. That should be problem if plasma blaster ball mode suppose to be shotgun's upgrade for close range engage
