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.
If your going to do that why not just fire HE & turn the tube off (or some of them for offmap units) Pretty rare I do it but have done so on occasion. Use it more for offmap MLRS to preserve ammo by switching off a tube or two.
