Light tanks can easily take on mediums if the driver is good. The light tank has faster turret rotation than medium tank in addition to the speed and general manueverability. As for stealths.. well. any good tank driver won't let a stealth get away even as it's cloaking. Just shoot at it and you'll continue to see it's shimmering blue outline. Plus, it's rare that I've ever alone in a tank.. most games have people all over the place all the time. Once that stealth decloaks to shoot me, it's likely that it's going to get hit by several people very quickly. I love mammoths when appropriate. I hate it when people simply dismiss them as an option claiming that they give the other team too many points. They do have their uses when used properly. On small maps they are great once you can afford them. They also have the missles which massacre infantry with ease compared to trying to kill a single soldier with a medium tank. They also self heal to 600 health. Of course mediums are my favorite, but there are times were mammoths work very well.

I understand why everyone thinks Stealths are going to get killed right away, when I'm in a Med Tank and one passes me by, I almost always succeed in killing it. Is is cause the Stealth Tank sucks? No, it's cause you can't take on something with twice your hp head-on without a deathwish. I don't do that in a Stealth. I hide behind rocks while decloaking, wait till I start to fade out, let them see me fade out heading one way, and turn and go the opposite, then go back around some rocks, and basically 'Hide with Pride' Getting my shots in when you're not looking. I can keep Stealth tanks all game long most of the time, because they can run fast. I'm just telling ya how it is for me

I don't need to worry about a sneeky sniper shooting the nOObs, because the enormace body of the Mammoth tank will keep the entrance to the building covered. If an attacker gets past me, the nOObs can quickly get into my tank before they die.
Why are you calling the people repairing you nOObs, when they are just helping a nOOb?
