It *was* a compliment. Humans like being sneaky bastards, and like being acknowledged as such because most of the time we can’t get props because that would interfere with being a sneaky bastard.

@brianmeadows1137 too many people want to compare historical figures to some saintly modern ideal to paint them in the worst possible light or to claim they are irredeemable instead of great leaders.
The Normandy Buildup is a diversion. They’re DEFINITELY landing at Calais. We have far too much intel retrieved at far too high a cost for it to be fake.
I was only a short way in when Operation Bodyguard came to mind. It was almost a disappointment that they didn't include references to inflatable tanks and at least one General fuming over being assigned to head up the con.😊
You mean to tell me that they didn't try to use inflatable balloon warships like how they did to make tanks, that's a bit sad but at the same time it checks out, with the radiation output the ships would had been giving out and what not.
I suspect enemy sensors (given that there local recon, in system) were good enough to have detected any 'fake' ships...only _real_ (fake) ships would have been capable of emitting the correct energy signatures to mimic the actual ships is question. And, you could say that the empty-hulled ships _were_ the equivalent of balloon dummies. Half-assing a deception plan is a good way to get caught.
