Which do you think is better?

I think the Mammoth tank is overpriced, it has more firepower
But lacks speed and manuverablity

Medium tank is better price, but lacks the firepower
It has better speed and manuverablity

Which do you like more?

Whoever buys a mammie should be shot. That thing give more points to enemies than it does damage to enemies.

The mammie doesn't do much more damage than the medium tank does, and it's such a huge target, might as well just paint shoot me onto it.

If you're on GDI, never, never buy a mammie tank unless you're sure you're team is winning.

they both get the job done....but the mammoth is obviously the better tank. A mammoth with proper backup does a better job than any tank in the game. unlike them, he can rely on brute force and does not need to try and avoid damage. don't let anyone tell you "omg R mammot is dumb IT DYE 2oo eazy", they're just dumb for buying one and getting owned because they didn't ask for engineers. then of course they think they know everything about the mammoth....yet the next time they end up against one they get beaten down because the driver knew what he was doing.

It would be worth it if the mammoth has lock-on Anti-Air missles. Easy to setup, but its not ren default.

sure, if you let them. Those points don't mean crap when you've just cleared a field of enemy soldiers and tanks with one.

The mammoth tusk cannon does the highest amount of damage per shot, seconded only to the artillery, and it still wins because it shoots shells faster than the arty.

I usually find myself rushing with one into the enemy base that is pretty much destroyed anyway and firing missiles at the buildings, only problem with that is by the time i get there the base is already destroyed

Mams are good for defending, rushing and pressure. The people that sit around in the field and don't do any of that lose games. They suck on Field if Gdi doesn't have complete control too.

Medium tank is probably the best all-round vehicle and better in most situations than the mammoth.

Mammoth is devastating when used in the right situation, but terrible in the wrong situation.

Most Renegade players seem not to know when to use a mammoth, which is why they have a bad rep. However there are times when a mammoth is the best unit in the game. Get a mammoth into Nod base on certain maps and it can wreak untold damage

The mammy is VERY good in a lot of defensive areas. Look at hourglass for example. You lose your AGT. Two mammies can defend your base. Try organizing meds to do the same thing. Mammies do a much better job. Also the mammy repairs itself. this in turn prevents you from having to leave your tank as much if you have a n00bish team who won't help repair the last few vehicles(when WF's destroyed).

I would use a mammy but only in certain times. Overall I would choose a med. It all depends on the team however.

The real problem when comparing Mammoth tanks against artilleries is that artilleries pwn mammoths on range.

Depends on if the the driver is any good. I once chipped a mammy's health down by half in an apc once simply by staying behind it, would have taken it out too most likely if backup hadn't arrived for it.

So what you're saying is that you attacked someone who didn't have their turret locked to the camera, and you think you're good? lol..

You suck at reading don't you? My point was that since the driver was no good at maneuvering the mammy I was able to do heavy damage with only an apc. Had the driver known how to even use the tank I would have been obliterated. I never claimed it was because I had more skill.

You said you stayed behind it. The turret is able to turn to shoot at you assuming the camera of the player you attacked is locked to its turret. You can't stay behind a turret, which moves that fast, with an APC, it's not possible.

So either he didn't know about camera lock, or he was brain dead. Either way your post was n00bism.

Jesus do I have to spell it out for you? I know about the camera lock, he obviously didn't. That's what I meant when I said he didn't know how to use the tank.

Knowing how to use the tank (Mammoth Tank in context) is different from knowing how to use a tank (Using all tanks properly including controls). For feigning intelligence, you're dumb as hell.

The Mammoth Tank is definantly better, besides the fact that they are my favorite tank :rolleyes: , when used properly and in the right situation they are the best. Ever been in a 6 - 8 tank Mammoth rush. Usually the enemy based gets destroyed in that raid. Mammoths provide good cover and are good for holding an already existing line. When some hotwires or engineers are repairing the tank it can keep it alive for along time and kill anything. About points yes they do give alot of points, but im pretty certain that stealth tanks give off the most points. It also depends on the person driving the tank.

Meds are good tanks, they are great to get out into the main battlefield and take control quickly.

Once again it depends on who is driving the tank.

Indeed, mammoth have a bad reputation, because its the noobs favorite tank. On some maps (e.g. Field) its sometimes advantageous that you lose your refinery so unexperienced players can't buy mammies. Its really sad that even experienced players do not know about the main disadvantage of mammoths: the points the enemy gets for shooting and even sniping it.

I normally use the mammoth tank for fast rushes. Main goals are either to kill the enemy base real fast or get rid of the tank you are in. Jump out before it explodes so that the enemy dont get points for killing it.

Of course, I would prefer the med tank. Faster, less points for the enemy and great firepower.

Mammoth can be very effective.

Example : Hourglass Map.

Making a mammoth rush over the hill or with two mammoths each side gives no chance to obelisk even with 2 techs inside.

The fire-power of 4 mammoths is enough to kill a ob in less than 20 seconds.

Also Mammoth is the supreme tank for a lot of campers. They buy mammoths and stay around agt. Waiting nod's rush...

And mammoth has a big advantage over med tank anyway : the rockets kill infantry very fast.
