More james bond style bending of mirrors and refractions than true 90 degree bending of light in sci-fi. Still cool nonetheless. |

It's been in the works for a while. When James Bond's Aston Martin Vanquish had it, I was actually more impressed by the fact that it started after a night outside in Iceland. |

I don't see how this is gonna actually work in the desert. Tanks kick up WAY too much dirt and leave rather obvious tracks... It'd probably be effective when still though. |

Just the desert? I don't see how it's going to work anyplace that has weather. Can you imagine seeing a giant, hollow mudsplatter bearing down on you? You're right, though, it'll work great when it's not moving - unless it's snowing. |

I think a giant engine kicking out 1500hp could be a little noisey too. |

It was later denied by military officials that the main funding for this project came from a small religious organisation caling itself "The BRotherhood of NOD"... I can't be the only person to think it right? |

.....huh, I only just realised. Now all we need is the americans to build the Mammoth Tank and an unknown meteor and introducing to us a new crystaline material into the ecology. |

Not unless they're hovering tanks. Which makes me wonder why they're making tanks invisible BEFORE they make them hover. |

I heard that they were going to phase out using tanks, because they cost so much money, and that they are a bitch to ship out to other locations. And yes, I took this literally... Knowing my luck, I have just stumbled across something that is a crock of shit and... Ew...I think I need a shower... |

With that mentality, what makes you think they haven't produced hover tanks ala GDI already? |

Oh, they have. I know they have. They just weren't invisible and presenting them on the battlefield would prove they reverse engineer alien tech. |

Well, hate to sound cheesey, but if they have pilots who train enough the tank could be manouvered easily enough. |
