If you are laying down loads of Z fire then you are showing your location to the enemy and so can expect some artillery in response, whether the opponent is human or the AI.

Blind area fire is something that I find I very rarely use. Its simply not worth the ammo expenditure. Perhaps with an HMG onto some enemy tanks that I suspect have riders and are not in direct LOS, and that is about it. But after that, I try to move the MG teams before the inevitable arty response if I can.

More usually, I wait until those tanks are in line of sight for direct fires before trying to knock external passengers off them. Its a far more efficient use of ammo.
