1. Pick an On map indirect capable gun
2. Z fire a round at a range greater than the minimum
3. Go to the fire mission screen and click that gun name
4. Now click the HE button, it shall fire at the place you Z fired with delay 0.1

Can be done with rockets
Also Applies to MBT

Don and Andy, bug?

Game limitations - there is only one set of indirect target coordinates. It is used for all types of indirect/area fires.

So the only way to remove this "bug" would be to clear the IDF coordinates after every Z fire shot. Thus Z fire could never achieve any real accuracy, or even use the "F" button to repeat fires.

The limit to your "bug" is that you cannot do this for indirect fire (ie over a hill etc), only direct area fire in LOS (even if blind) of the weapon.

Since that is what the Russians, for example, tended to do with on-map arty due to limitations in observers etc, then it could even be seen as "historic".
