Re: The "Z" direct fire key - are they even trying
Out of LOS Z fire is also deliberately randomised to reduce the "Godlike Player" effect. It's blind fire.
The "player god" has a far better feel for the overall battlefield than the elements would have if they were real men. Real units don't spray ammo over areas unless they have at least some indication that there would be someone there.
Area fire at a hex in LOS is far more effective and accurate. If you in your role as the player god "knows" there should be a squad at X,Y and "telepathically command" your men to have the inspiration to beat up the nearby area - then if X,Y is out of LOS but a nearby hex is within LOS - target that one. There will be overs and sides, but the fire will generally remain on the LOS hex, and some will spill onto the target that you the "god" knows is actually there whereas the blind firing will wander all over - and is fully intended to. No matter the range.
