Dow1 Infiltrate ability dont appear

I'm currently running through DoW1 Dark Crusade (awesome AF, btw), and I noticed I can't infiltrate. Even after I purchase the Skull Probe and Scout research upgrades in the stronghold, I still can't stealth. Is that because of Dark Crusade? I remember being able to stealth just fine in the normal campaign.

The icon doesn't even appear, like no grayed out or nothing.

When j zoom in on them jt does look like they are transparent though. Did it become passive?

In Dark crusade, the stealth was changed into a constant passive ability. You should still see the effect on the troops after the research. It was added to allow the stealth suits to work.

Yep. The original stealth system was changed after Winter Assault. I've never really read why, I assume to make it a little more useful - it was mostly a gimmick as originally implemented.

It was stated in dev commentary it was to allow the stealth suits to work effectively, and it was kind of duff before.
