Right! Some players aren't able correct operate Z-fire and can't win with him. After defeat, they go to forum and much talks about unrealness and cowboys. They wants to win too...
Some players use strange rule "Absolutely NO any Z-fire" and too much tells about "cowboy's style of game" and "unrealness of Z-fire". Where you take this nonsense? Watch documentary films about war, read books! Suppressing (not aimed) fire was very often and widely used in WW2 (and all 20 century!), especially by MG's and various guns.
I was at war in Tajikistan in 1992 (I served in mechanized infantry coy) and all we very often used suppressing fire, everywhere where could. Very often! I personally fired hundreds bullets by "Z-fire". Our MG guys shoot thousands bullets, all not-aimed! You speak about what reality? About "Reality of your pleasant game" or about true reality?
I think that Z-fire feature in Steel Panthers series very accurately and exactly simulate suppressing fire.
I can accept some reasonable restrictions of Z-fire, for more balance. But don't told me "Playing with Z-fire is unrealistic!". It is simply ridiculous!
As much as I dont like it, Z-fire that is, I have to agree with Leo that Z-fire is nessesary for the game. But it does seem to be overused these days. There have been some interesting rules to limit it, they can easily be negotiated.
