jimbobfury Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So, I suspected there was something up with reaction fire since I first downloaded the alpha, as I don't remember my troops ever making a reaction fire shot at all. With build 9.5.1 I tweaked the reaction fire modifier for each weapon, to test this once and for all. I gave each ballistic weapon a reaction modifier of 5 and then 10, to test this out. Now, either I'm really unlucky, or it's just not working as I've still not had a single case of one of my troops shooting at a moving alien. Reaction fire for the AI (alien and friendly) works fine, so I'm not sure why it won't for my troops. Also; as an aside- in the final build, will aliens still be able to perform reaction fire regardless of which direction you approach them from?

Gorlom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Do you have AP for the shot AND for turning? HAve you selected anything on the reserve slider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobfury Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi Gorlam. Yep, I was purely testing so I had an alien in sight at the start of my turn. I set two soldiers facing him, then set one to reserve APs for aimed and one to set AP for burst fire. In the aliens turn he didn't move from their line of sight, fired two shots in their direction and neither of them did a thing. I left them there for the next few turns and the same thing happened, until he killed them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceVamp Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I don't think my guys have performed a reaction shot, ever. I use it all the time. But it's rarity that aliens pop out of nowhere to provoke them tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I don't think its possible to reactionfire with burst. Questionable if you can reactionfire with aimed as well. Have you tried without reserve slider or with only snapshot reserved? also is spelling my name wrong a typo or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandabar Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Do you have to have ap reserved with the reserve slider for Reaction shots to work? Or can I just have a guy sitting there with full ap, no reserve set and it should work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have no idea. I think you have to try all things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobfury Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Oops, sorry man, typo on your name. I would have thought you can do reaction fire of any type, that's one of the reasons for the AP reserve slider, I assume? I'll try it with snap shot instead but, I'm 99% certain it's not working.

Matthew Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 It's not working and is reported. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
