This can be very useful in a couple of ways: 1. If you disguise as another team member, you generally become less of a target for the other team. Generally, if the other team sees you as a spy, or worse, as a friendly team member within a group of enemies, they will try to eliminate you before you can infiltrate behind their lines. If you disguise as a friendly, they'll target the medics instead, or the guy firing the big gun at them. It also gives you the element of surprise, especially useful in sudden death. If the enemy sees you as an enemy pyro or demoman, they won't be expecting the highly accurate pistol fire you are about to unload on their face. In any case, the time that you spend with a group of friendlies running towards the front line disguised as someone less annoying, is time spent conserving your cloak. 2. The other good way to use this ability is to spread misinformation at the beginning of the game about the make-up of your team. This is especially valuable on the Attack/Defend map Dustbowl. Disguising as a friendly Heavy/Sniper can often scare people away from the gated exits/entrances. Don’t forget that the spy can disguise himself as his own team!
