Opinions about "Game rules as used by players"

[Percy]

Not everyone likes that, and Z fire does have its uses, like when an infantry unit shoots at you until out of ammo, then pops smoke to prevent you from shoot back.  Only Z fire has a chance against him.  The deal is to limit it.  The Cav in Vietnam were well known to drive down the roads blasting away at the tree lines on both sides "just in case".

Well it may have its uses but I am only really concerned with what is realistic. In game z fire is applied unrealistically way way way more often than realistically, I think you will agree. It doesn't equate to suppressive fire because all units magically know where to apply z fire and often suppressive fire would suppress exactly nothing because it is off target, but in game it's always on target. I think it is much simpler to ban it than make largely unenforceable rules to try to force realistic use. 

Thanks Percy.
