"Z" - fire

[Pyros]

Perhaps the following text from Andy G. will help you, better understand how the Z-fire works under WinSPWW2:

Mobhack said:
Z fire is "spray and pray" usually used to beat up an area throughg smoke (no LOS) or as "recon by fire" on a suspected area. It is speculative fire, and hence less effective, with probable max effect of pin, rarer to hit and cause casualties. It should be a rare form of fire (barring USA type shooting up areas you suspect of having hidden troops in). It causes "friction of war" rather than a load of casualties - but sufficient pins of say a herd of infantry screened behind smoke, may well break the attack up as some units will not rally, and so will remain pinned and so will enter battle later.

cheers,
