[not sure if bug] fire control PCS vs lightning reflexes

Was wondering if this is a bug: I put fire control 75 on my rapid reaction guys and they still shoot at lightning reflex aliens - is this a bug or intended?

I assume its because of the same reason why your own guys with Lightning Reflexes will trigger Overwatch shots that normally Advent wouldn't take, in that the defense bonus isn't applied until after the shot is fired.

EDIT : Actually, the devs have code that makes a target fire an OW shot at targets with LR despite any other restrictions on OW shots.

Code: Select all

; if the target has any one of these abilities, the required to hit value is ignored
+REQUIRED_OVERWATCH_TO_HIT_EXCLUDED_ABILITIES="LightningReflexes"
+REQUIRED_OVERWATCH_TO_HIT_EXCLUDED_ABILITIES="LightningReflexes_LW"
