Whatever. Tusks bring the pain, and I've never had aiming issues with them. Tusks FTW!

A tech doesn't have enough C4 to destroy a full-health mammy single handedly, at least not when you take the heal-up-to-half-health thing it has. Most likely you'll have a mammoth tank at 2 health slowly healing it's way back up and a driver laughing at you.

If you put 2 timed as quickly as you can, and then your remotes, and then blow your remotes just before your 2nd timed blows up, the healing to half-health thing won't even take effect and the mammy will die..

I don't think so, then again how often do you see a perfectly full health mammoth - they're so easy to hit

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

I have trouble seeing a tech last 30 seconds in front of a mammy, unless the mammy driver is a complete idiot and realizes taht the tech can't follow him into the nearby tiberium patch, or is just generally a n00b.

But that's not the fault of the mammoth thank itself. I've seen it be used quite well several times, and even a few by myself.

i say mammoth tanks are perfect for pushing enemy units back to base to defend. my first reaction when i c a mammoth rush aproaching my base i do what ever it takes to destroy them, so if u get 2 mammoths to fake a rush by getting them to stop just outside the enemies base (shoot at buildings to get them panicing and defensive) nd provide cover for lets say 3 or 4 meds nd apc/ion that would actually rush the base
these are the times when ur like why God WHY!!!???

EA should have tweaked the MAMMOTH TANK in all areas. They just probobly didn't see the vonurabilities of it online...

No, I play Renegade. The mammoth tank does what it's supposed to do. It's fine. What are these "vonerabilities" you're talking about?

it is slow, it is a big target...
i use the mamy if needed, not just because i like it.

It's big and slow, but it's a tank, and therefore can take a lot of beating before going down. It takes more C4 to kill a mammoth than it does to kill a building. A Mammoth's Tusk Missles are the best thing in the game to kill a building with, not to meantion that they massacare infantry and vechicles as well. A Mammoth's cannon does more damage than the cannon of any other tank in the game.
Given all that, and the the price is a measly $1500, I'd say it's a steal.

Oh right. The conclusive proof that the mammoth tank is good. Holy shit, if I would have known it was that simple. Perhaps when I get 500 kills and one death in a server with a humvee, it'll proof to the world that's its the best unit. Yes, that was very dumb of you.

...or the exact same thing for nod... only using arties instead of mammoths. You'd need at least TWICE as much hotwires as there are artilleries, and that's not talking about the idea that if the arties all switched suddenly to a different mammoth, they would have to walk that distance and in that time they'd get killed. Which is besides the point really because all you really need is one or two teched arts in a public to stop mammoth tanks because they won't be able to hit you. (artilleries can shoot the outside of the mammoth tank where as the mammoth tank cannot fire back) Since it's so slow, and so big, this is why generally light tanks, arties, med tanks are better than mammoths. the only real advantages is the tusk missles (which are pretty horrible range and is sort of useless as tanks are a much more greater threat) Oh, and the double barrel thing is more of a double edged sword, since if you're playing against good people, then if they for some reason aren't very good at shooting the mammoth tank while it takes no damage, they'll still be able to dodge 50% of the shots, because you'd have to be WAY out there to be fired on by both cannons. Which, i guess they could utilize this to their advantage by going out right after the mammoth tank shoots the closer cannon

If you manage that, I'll tip my hat to you and become a card-carrying humvee lover that lectures about them every chance I get.
