Professor Dweeb designed the ghost tank to keep a ghost in place for analysis. Slimer was placed in the tank one time to be scanned by Dweeb’s Brain Drain Machine. However the tank was so powerful that it began overloading with the ghost’s memories and eventually imploded.
In order to trick the Germans into believing that they were facing larger Allied troops than they actually were, the American Army created the Ghost Army during World War II. The unit was made up of camouflage engineers, signal operators, radio operators and other highly skilled professionals who created 93-pound, inflatable tanks that were blown up under cover of darkness and painted to look 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 tanks also looked real enough from thousands of feet in the air that radio operators in the signal company could mimic morse code "fist" to give fake dispatches an 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 was unable to save their tanks from the fighting, its techniques have had a lasting impact on military tactics across the globe. The equipment of the Ghost Army is now being used in military training programs.
The Swedish T Ghost is medium-weight, light-weight tank with medium capacity. It features BAE's new ADAPTIV camouflage to disguise the vehicle from thermal imaging.
The Ghost tank's agility and maneuverability make it capable of striking first against any opponent, regardless of their anti-tank system. 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 the most interesting designs Wargaming has ever created. It looks great and is fun to drive. But, it doesn't have the same key features as more advanced tanks.
Despite this, the T Ghost is still an effective tank that should be a part of every tanker's arsenal. Its mobility is exceptional and it can be used in many different battlefield scenarios.
The tank's most notable trait is its invisible cloak. This blends the infrared signatures of the tank to blend in with the surroundings. 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.
