I've always thought once you've direct fire any arty they don't show up on the bombard screen for that turn.
To be honest, don't recall using many z-fired arty,don't know why it should be any different than DF.
Plotting takes calculations and time,so how should using erratic z-fire take less delay on next bombard?
If this really does work as described,then i'm really missing something.

Because it lets you skip the calculations - the gun is already laid correctly.
