British "Ghost Army" Commander idea

[Spudgun117]

So during the peak of the war the British Created an entire 'ghost army' which was tasked with faking the existence of two 30,000 man units in europe to confuse the Germans. British Engineers used anything from blow up inflatable tanks and vehicles, fake infantry, fake gun emplacements, bases and fake aircraft to mislead the Germans on the wearabouts of the actual allied forces. The Brits also developed an entire signal serive which was tasked solely with providing the Germans with fake radio transmissions with fake allied troop orders.

Just a thought, but I think this could be quite a unique commander for the Brits in COH2. You could allow for the construction of fake inflatable tanks, gun emplacements etc, false artillery flares with blank artillery fire (the sound but no shells), fake mines, fake radio transmissions for German commaders who can listen in on the allies, fake vehicle movement sounds behind the fog of war and enhanced camo abbilities for all units including tanks with heightened ambush abilities.

Basically an entire commander based on confusing the enemy on your actual wearabouts while camoflaging and hiding every real unit, including vehicles and ambushing the enemy from the flanks by suprise when they go to attack the false emplacements.

Thoughts?

If the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops 'Ghost Army' was attributed to the UKF, I would have unistalled the game.

Ah, yes you guys are right the 'ghost army' was indeed a USF tactical unit, my bad. But the Brits did a very similar strategy, especially in the desert, so my point remains somewhat valid. Or you could just make it a USF commander.

I like the idea though, you could really confuse some OKW players if their eagle owl picks up some inflatables with the searchlight.

Yeah that's exactly what I had in mind. It would be the perfect troll commander.

Can we make these tank looking sex-dolls detonate?

Cause that'd be hilarious as poopballs.

why would you give an already decently powerful faction something that it doesnt need and didnt do, when the US is laying in ♥♥♥♥ and blob tactics and could use it dearly?
