Mirage tank (Red Alert 3)

"AU REVOIR !"

- Mirage Tank firing Spectrum Guns

Mirage tank is the Allies' premier stealth tank in Red Alert 3.

Background
During World war III, the Mirage tank was modified to produce a stealth field (aka a 'gap'), much more advanced than the original's holographic projection technology. The new version of the Mirage Tank is an advanced vehicle of the Allied Forces. The versatile tank can disguise itself as an enemy vehicle and the onboard Dulamp FT-70 gap generator's energy bubble can be inverted to hide any Allied unit within, but at the same time leaving the Mirage Tank visible and unable to fire it's weapon.

The Mirage Tanks have a Spectrum-Dispersion cannon, it's function is identical to the prism tanks (which are absent at this time due to the elimination of Einstein), but has a much, much shorter range. It is based on L.A.S.E.R technology, very similar to Prism technology of the previous war. It is said to be based on a French tank chassis and weapon system, but was then further developed by the FutureTech company (also responsible for the Cryocopter). It does not have a turret and must rotate it's whole chassis to target an enemy unit. The Mirage Tank's firepower actually surpasses that of the Apocalypse Tank and the King Oni, though it's still no-match for either of them in a one-on-one fight because their armor is much stronger. The Mirage Tank, is however, more flexible, as its attacks are actually very effective against infantry, and they can inflict a high amount of damage even against commandos, in a contrast with other tier-3 armor, which virtually useless against infantry.

The new Mirage Tank features new reactive camoscanners, which actively scan the Mirage Tank's background and then disguise the tank as a suitable object (ie. no more trees on roads) such as a lamp post, a milk truck or a tree, depending on it's surroundings. As in the original Mirage Tank, stealth is it's main defense. It's light Chobham armour is not suited to withstanding engagements with heavier tanks, although it was seen surviving the Apocalypse Tank cannons.
