how to decrease shooting delay

[allthumbs]

It seems to take forever between shots for my people in combat. How do I increase the speed of their shots?

1) mod the weapons files, if you know how (i don't)

 

2) change the weapons firing mode (main combat screen, in the individual portraits, there should be a single bullet in rectangular box icon, clicking that cycles thru the allowed firing modes for that weapon, and every weapon i know defaults to its slowest but most accurate firing mode (except for the sniper rifle with scope for a trained sniper)

 

3) i haven't noticed, but weapon skill might speed up firing speed, and for some weapons there are trainings that make you shoot faster

 

 

also, don't forget to get a couple soldiers to raise scouting above anything else, if you see it further out you have more time to shoot (in the base game, i think spotting is seriously underpowered, you might consider a visibility mod from teh downloads section here)
