That isn't to say there aren't other ways to do it though with other unit types...
Yep, I was also thinking about dummy ships/aircraft, equipped with coastal artillery guns. There are several shortcomings involved though:

- ME2 won't let us to put sea units on land.

- Air units cannot be set as stationary: set their speed too low and they will crash on land, no matter their minimum speed and mass settings.

- Land units are automatically put on ground, without need to calculate the ground level at their chosen map position. Sea and Air units are not.

- Our watch crew would report the dummy units as enemy ship/aircraft, rather than as coastal defenses.
