Spies were special forces operatives used by the Allies to gather information from Soviet bases during Great World War II (although they were used by the Soviets, albeit less extensively.) This provided allied Commanders with information about plans and vulnerabilities of Soviet bases. This was the first time in which spies were deployed directly in battles, as usually they were used as intelligence gathering operatives behind enemy lines or in enemy command centers and bases. Spies were well-versed in mimicking the signals, language, and behavior of enemy personnel; and could often walk through an entire base without a single enemy guard realizing that there was an intruder. However, the bane of spies were soviet attack dogs which were capable of literally sniffing out the spies, and were trained to kill unfamiliar scents.
If a spy infiltrated a construction yard or any other training and production facility he could relay information concerning the current training and production orders. If a resource gathering and processing structure such as the ore refinery was infiltrated, he reported on the current resource pool status of the enemy. Similarly, when a power plant was infiltrated, the current power status was made available to the spy's commander. The most profitable infiltration target were radar domes and submarine pens, as they provided data on explored terrain and current submarine locations via the sonar pulse.
Additionally, they were often used to discreetly achieve objectives in delicate situations; such as rescuing Tanya Adams from an NKVD prison or aiding the defection of Vladimir Kosygin. They also gathered data on the Iron Curtain project.
Following the Great World War II, spies were no longer employed on the battlefield directly, instead being regular undercover agents once again. A notable agent that GDI employed was Agent Delphi.
