Stealth Tank Pros/Negs
What is everyone’s thoughts on the stealth tank? I see a lot of people at the Tiberium level using them. What do you like or dislike about them. They remind me of an Orca but in a tank version.

I mean it in the sense that sometimes it's better to have a banshee/air. For example if they manage to roll out a titan, rock worm or avatar etc it's way more cost effective to use air units. They're also easier to micro into position to take out giga cannons, artillery and so forth where a stealth tank can easily be decloaked as it will tend to have to pass over a pad or near infantry.
I don't think they are too powerful considering their cost and reload speed. Compare it to an orca which costs 20 less tib less. It can't cloak like a tank but then an orca is fast enough to move away and not targetable anyway by many of the things you want them for. If someone has two artillery you can kill both and fly away, but with stealth tanks you will always be losing one of them.
It's OP it insta-kills things more expensive (inferno 20+)
It's not OP it gets insta-killed by things less expensive (orca 20-)
While we are talking about the stealth tank: What unit(s) do you use to kill it?
Orca would seem like an idea, but obviously that's no use when you play Nod yourself.
As a warfac opener I simply roll out scorpion, more scorpions. Stealth is a fake tank who has hp of a pitbull and ashamed when facing real tanks.
Laser troopers don't do anything if (often) there is a chembuggy/flametroops around.
Use anything you have to kill it, just bait it to fire on infantry first and it's defenseless for a very long time. Missile/laser squads are good but take a long time to kill it so it's unlikely to be effective but infantry and a war factory unit will work well. I find them easier to deal with than orcas.
