It depends much on how we use that "trick".
Surely enough, that won't be of big difference if we rename our units excessively. That trick will be very useful to "demoralize" the enemy down if we know how to do that.

For example, in a shoot-and-scoot mission for a Nashorn. We put the AFV on ambush position and rename it to, say, Tiger II. Both vehicles have the same main gun. Once the enemy is in range, start firing and go the fallback position. Most of the time the "pinned" enemy won't be able to spot your Nashorn, especially if it's only one shot.

That trick will make the enemy wonder if we have the Tiger II. And, considering how deadly Tiger II is, he will make a second thinking.

Maybe tis not so much of a FoW, but it works for me sometime.

PS: Don't try this against the AI, he's surely smarter than you think.
