Professor Dweeb invents the ghost tank. This is a tank made of glass that holds a ghost and allows for its analysis. On one occasion, Slimer was deposited into the tank to be scanned by Dweeb's Brain Drain Machine, but the tank was so powerful that it imploded on its own when it began overloading with the ghost's memories.
The Ghost Army, an American Army unit created to fool the Germans into believing it was facing larger Allied forces during World War II. This unit was composed of signal operators, camouflage designers, radio operators, and other highly-skilled professionals. They created inflatable tanks weighing 93 pounds that were then inflated in darkness and painted to appear like real vehicles.
Camouflage engineers used "camouflage paint" to make the dummy tanks appear authentic. They painted the vehicle with paint that resembled the enemy's armor and weapons, including German markings. The dummy trucks looked realistic enough from thousands upon thousands of feet above the ground that radio operators at the signal company could make "fist" out of morse codes to give fake dispatches the authentic sound.
The signalers also used a radio code to imitate the manner in which certain units' operators sent messages. This added to the illusion that fake dispatches were authentic. By blending this technique with the use of a sonic signal device that emitted high-pitched tones, the team was able to fool the Germans into believing the dummy tanks were in fact real.
Although the Ghost Army's dummy tanks did not survive World War II, the techniques they developed have had a lasting influence on military tactics throughout the world. The equipment of the Ghost Army is now being used in military training programs.
The Swedish T Ghost is a light-weight medium-capacity tank that uses BAE's ADAPTIV camouflage to hide the vehicle from thermal imaging systems, as well as a high-calibre 120mm compact main cannon with new technology designed to reduce recoil and weight.
With its nimble maneuverability, the Ghost tank is capable of striking first when it has the advantage, even if the opponent's anti-tank system is weak or non-existent. Rheinmetall claims the tank is protected with a combination passive, active and reactive technologies. Rheinmetall also offers a top-attack defense system with smoke launchers as well as a large-calibre and powerful KE APS (Kilo Energy Anti-Tank System), which Rheinmetall claims can disrupt tank calibre rounds during the approach phase.
This tank is one of the more interesting designs to emerge from Wargaming's development. It looks great, and is a lot of fun to drive, but it does lack some of the key features of more advanced tanks.
T Ghost is still an efficient tank that should be included in every tanker’s arsenal. It is extremely mobile and can be used in a wide range of battlefield situations.
Its invisibility cover is one of the most impressive traits on the tank. This blends infrared signatures to blend with the surrounding environment. This makes the Ghost nearly invisible when it's stationary, which can be a big help for hiding in dense vegetation. This trait stacks well with foliage camo bonuses. It also reduces accuracy penalties when traversing or firing at the hull.
