I must admit I'm guilty of that. Another thing I do is when I know that the enemy is "somewhere there" but not sure, I use smoke rounds at their positions (if your forces are too far away) and when you make contact with then, use your spotter with HE rounds. That way you dont waste ammo.
Personally I think of using their smoke as a targeting aid simply represents the not-included-in-game counter-battery radar
