Reaction fire, I really think this is good advice...

(1/4) > >>

NicSO:
For all you who played prequel of UFO Enemy Unknown, Laser Squad you remember reaction fire from that game. Game would stop, you had certain number of Aps you left for reaction fire and you decided how to spend them: snap shot, auto fire or aimed.

I think this option would be great in the game so player can choose will his soldier shoot on auto, snapshot or aimed.

btw. UFO: EU was developed under the name: Laser Squad 2 :)

Eegxeta:
This is something that is sorely needed because one snap shot is not enough to stop a alien from mowing you down.

Grug:
Also, there are sometimes several soldiers that get the reaction fire simultaneously and the solider that is going to take the shot might not be the best option (they might be better placed to cover a different angle, etc and so keeping their reaction fire could be advantageous). Some way to select which of the available soldiers takes the shot would be handy.

MonkeyHead:
Erm, by selcting a check box you can actually already select what fire mode to use as reaction fire... most useful with laser weapons where the TU cost for a multi shot is still kinda low, the assault rifle (for the same reasons), and for turning the ball mode off for the plasma blaster if you expect a very close range ambush shot.

I know that...I dont wanna choose which fire mode I want, that is the problem....not until my soldier spots enemy, then I wanna decide how to spend TUs.

What if I have 20 TUs and I select auto fire (12 TUs) then I have 8 TUs wasted and I could of use them as a snap shot!
