Is this cheating? Creating fake targets for enemy arty?

[AlienXXX]

Hello All,

I fully approve the use of smoke to create hindrance and deception - that is what it is meant for.

I have used it to create fake arty positions in my rear for the enemy to shoot at.
I have also dropped lots of smoke ahead of my troops to simulate that I am advancing on the enemy lines. I may even move some units through the smoke and let them poke ou here and there so the enemy thinks there is a large force comming. This usually attracts arty fire.

Renaming units is a bit too far - unless it is clearly a joke. Renaming a sniper as "invisible man" or "sneaky fellow" would be fine. Renaming a bazzoka team to "Scouts" would not.
Changing a name of a unit to another existing unit to deliberately trick the opponent is lack of game etiquette, IMO. If you have to right click on every unit to find out what it really is, the game becomes cumbersome and stops being fun.
