Overwatch Ignores Concealment

Description
WotC Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1132067065

A.K.A. the Xcom EW Overwatch Rules


Removes the condition against firing from concealment for all reaction fire abilities in the game.
Also allows the normal reaction fire penalty to be applied to reaction fire shots fired from concealment for all reaction fire abilities in the game.

Initial Release: 3/12/2016

This removes the annoying "Overwatch doesn't fire from concealment" rule while, balancing it by restoring the typical reaction fire aim penalty to those reaction fire shots taken from concealment.

Compatibility:
There shouldn't be any conflicts with other mods. I'm not directly modifying the default templates or anything, just ducking in and editing them after they've been created.

For a slightly different take on Overwatch rules that still allows reaction fire abilities to fire from concealment but does not apply the standard reaction fire aim penalty, check out Overwatch Disrespects Concealment instead:

Is there a mod that does this only for killzone?

I agree with MatteCrystal, two buttons please! One for normal overwatch, another for concealed overwatch.

@MatteCrystal, exactly! I want two separate options.

Indeed, neat observation.

I need a second Button, Normal overwatch and conceled overwatch. Everyone making these mods seems to think it should be just one or the other but they're are situations for both.

can you uninstall it mid-campaign?

Is this compatible with LW 2?

@Fennix - Um. You mention having both IESS and Better Advent. Pretty sure those conflict anyway, from what Better Advent says on its mod page. Might be wrong.

Ideally, would have a listener to detect if the target in question has had its pod activated, and to not fire if it doesn't... but those can be a right pain to implement :P

Personally, I like this mod even without it - I consider it an additional tactical choice on whether to simply end turn or prep that overwatch :)

hmmm what about a seperate button for this "absolute over watch" and regular over watch? sometimes you want to be on over watch incase you get spotted.
