It's like having 1 round spotting without using up a round. This must be a cheat but at least you can see that he is doing it.

Not reallly a cheat - there is an artillery technique called a "silent barrage" where the guns are laid on various likely targets on a preplanned schedule as with a normal barrage, however no rounds are fired until the observer gives a keyword. The barrage then starts firing live rounds from that point.
Useful when making a "quiet" assault, you only make noise once the cat is "out of the bag".
A rarely seen technique, though.
