Stealth tank (Tiberian Dawn)

The Stealth tank was a vehicle that was extensively used by the Brotherhood of Nod across the various Tiberium wars.

Background
The stealth tanks of this period were a Nod tracked missile carrier, equipped with optic camouflage that allowed them to cloak nearly instantenously and disappear from sight. Unfortunately, as stealth tanks mount both missile launchers and a stealth generator onto a tank frame, to avoid sacrificing speed or increasing costs beyond any reasonable limit, stealth tanks across all generations are lightly armoured. The Global Defense Initiative researched the stealth tank properties, as part of project A2411.5.

It's first stealth tank prototypes were naed by Kane "Ezekiel's Wheel". When the tank fired its twin Dragon TOW missiles it would have to briefly deactivate it's camouflage; as the cloaking system was incapable of recalculating the changing characteristics of the launchers during firing.
