Discussion / Interceptor's auto reload?

« on: June 27, 2011, 09:52:49 am »

G'day guys..

just wondering if the interceptor craft auto reload after downing a ufo, im sure they do as i haven't had to reload base #1 at all..
base #2's interceptor on the otherhand keeps going down.. took me awhile to find out but as soon as he enters combat it says out of ammo,
ive triple checked it, everytime i manual reload ill down the next ufo no worries, but the following one, "out of ammo" again..

greatly appreciate any idea's, if its a setting i havent checked or somthing..

cheers

Discussion / Reaction fire

« on: June 25, 2011, 07:00:17 pm »

G'day guys..

i noticed the last post in this subject was a year ago so im hoping this has been solved,

it told me to start a new thread
"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic."
so here it is

im getting pretty much the same issue, no reaction fire at all.. this is my second mission and it has basicly broken the game..
its a terror mission, seem to be quite a few aliens for the 2nd mission, that's ok tho i like that.. but the are all held up on top of a 8 story building..
my men bail for the building instantly as hiding behind the barriers near the ship gets me killed from their elevated position.
i take up positions in the stairwell, 3 burst shots on the assuslts, 3 shot on the riot shotties and snap on my only sniper..
i lay here in ambush waiting for them, 1st one comes down the stair's, moves in line of sight for 2 squares turns and shoots 1 soldier dead,
then continues down the stairs in full sight of at least 3 others and comes to a stop staring one soldier in the face..
3 living soldiers, 3 different guns, all soldiers reactions setting on. and the alien took no less that 8 moves in full line of sight with not one reaction shot..
(i will add that after turning on their reactions i ended 2 rounds without moving anyone incase they needed a full round to set up..)

i did play 2.2 and i agree that reaction were a little op.. well maybe more than a little..
but this is downright unplayable.. sure i could keep playing and get somewhere.. but the amount of men sacrificed wouldn't be worth it. and losing my most decorated soldiers and reloading all the time will just lead me to lose it..

Please tell me there is a fix i havent found..
thanks in advance
