It is probably for military use only... what government leader would even allow such a suit to be permitted by civilians?

And anyway, I actually had an idea for a stealth suit.. although it wouldn't make it completely cloaked, it would make it cloaked for the most part.

Last year in my physics class our teacher had this liquid, it was like some sort of oil or starch or something.. I don't really remember. But it had a weird property. When this liquid was combined with a type of glass, the glass would become basically invisible.

What she did was put this liquid in a clear container. We could look through the container, and through the liquid and see what was on the other side.. much like looking through yellow tinted water.

But then she took one of the lab beakers, and placed it in the container containing the liquid, and once she let go, it was as if she never dropped anything in the liquid. You needed to look at it really hard to see the edges of the glass beaker.


So it got me thinking that a suit that had glass placements around vital areas, could possibly fill up with this liquid on command.. but the idea of mine is heavily flawed in many ways, but it really got me to thinking about how to cloak things.

I have a totally bad feeling that this will fail... in a very horrible situation, which will be considered funny 25 years later.

Nah, I would get PICs and whore them. Anyway...what about IR detection? (sorry didn't read all the way through..about to go somewhere) I mean most tanks use IR scopes to see other tanks...even in daylight.

OMG! Yeah, nowadays tanks got IR systems on them...and some even have radar.

Eventhough, I am sure Kane's scientists designed the Stank well, I am sure it's heat can be detected. Also, maybe ground radar can detect it as well but the tank cannot be seen visually. Unless of course the tank is made of radar absorbent materials.

Put the tank in a refridgerator
That fixes the heat sensor problem.

I think if we had stealth tanks we'd lose them.

When I play in cnc3 sometimes, I mass stanks, then i forget where i put them......cause their invisible....hard to see on some maps.

But seriously, like some soldier takes a break and leaves the stank on, then he gets distracted and goes somewhere on foot, comes back, stank is still on and invisible...he forgets where he parked it.

I KNOW THE SOLUTION! Then the tank crew will have to be issued with the special device that can see stealth units! Rememeber the Renegade SinglePlayer missions?

The one mission where Sydney and Havoc go out to find Mobius but they get surrounded by Stanks and SBH? Sydney find the Nod tanks using a small monitor-like device that shows the stealth units.

So I guess that's what real Stank crews will be issued also...so they can find their own tanks.

Here's the video!

EDIT: I am finding the YouTube video for that mission now LOL!!


I was thinking something along those lines...

Lol, we already do that with our very visible cars.

Yeah, then a big cold spot will be running around. IR works good with temperature extremes, what you need is a vehicle that produces no heat at all while moving.

Actually, basic physics tells you that different waves refract differently through the same material, so something that bends light around itself (and is thus invisible) will actually distort an IR camera really badly, fairly like the way the stealth suits appear close up in Renegade, but only in the IR spectrum (The same would be true of other spectra).

So, IR detectors = no more stank.


Renguard is a wonderful initiative
