Looking for trouble....??? hahaha exactly right... but unlike ACK... I actually have an objective while doing stuff like this.... ACK is just a loud mouthed cry baby who yells a newbs and then expects them to help him.... Ack "f'ing newbs f u..... I need repairs, I need repairs, I need repairs.....etc.".....and as for a good couple... I think he's taken....In fact isn't he in a love triangle...???? Left hand pulls while the Right inserts???? then vice versa when his hand starts to spasm???.... kind of explains how meadows is so f'ing lame..... one handed map making... tiss a terrible way to do things....and remember Ack keep that Vat O' Sh*t piping hot for more skins if you ever want to make more of em....oh and I really did wonder why you point out that mam's are bad tanks to use in a rush....ffs I stoped playing 2 months ago and I had known that long before then...and as for why you complain rather than laugh at them for using such a moronic strat. well I guess thats still up in the air ... the question remains..... why do you give a f' if they did something stupid like that???? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

back with a vengence
oh, and I agree with C4...ack says stupid crap, while most of her stuff is justified, although it might be a little bit overboard. I often consider doing the same thing except then I'd have to go into every post because I feel everyone deserves the same chance to be called f*cking idiots

mammoths are good in some situations...but they need support, by at least one anti-infantry unit.
The mammoth is the fastest-firing (normal)tank, and does more damage (per shot)than any other, aside from the artillery/MRLS. It's a powerful asset, but it has a huge weakness in its slow speed and turn rate.
There are two kinds of mammoth driver:
1. the smart kind, with turret camera on. They stick with the rest of they army so the entire force will be more effective. This person can easily make the tank pay for itself twice over.
2. the n00b kind, that thinks the mammoth is undefeatable and an army of its own. They rush(or crawl) out onto the battlefield, shooting away at nothing in particular(just so they can see the cool fire effect). They usually have the camera locked to the chassis, and then cry over it when they get pecked to death by a tiny little buggy.

oh.... ack contributes maps huh???? I didn't know flat landscapes where you can fall through holes are.... well considered maps..... and well skins???? hmmmmmm lets see.... the few if any skins i have seen him create are well no better than someone taking 30 seconds to spray paint a few camo colors on a tank and then just copy that lame pattern all over the tank....I have made many skins..... however i choose not to share them with ... well lets just call them unworthy people....if you think the skin i made for the mines made them light up like a chirstmas tree.... well.... guess youre just missing out.... oh and advice???? hmmmm only advice i've heard or interpreted from him is that he flames newbs for no reason... correction.... he flames everyone for no reason... I might be a loud mouth... but I generally only yell at newbs.... and cuz they think that a f'ing mam or using orcas/apac.s are a good strat... doing nothing but rushing with them..... and yes if you did listen to me maybe you would get some good advice... but generally what i've heard people say is f' u i don't need help..... so ya know what f' them.... listen to ack.... even though i've been the one in tactics training for the military... all be it a short time... but none the less i do have some experience in battle feild command..... but then again... this is just a game right.... why the f' would you take it seriously... i mean its not like you go out of your way to annoy me with your lame little come backs time after time after time... right??? oh and to the person who cares so much about mams ..... Jaml i think it is....not being used so often and by inexperienced people.... if you really want to teach them a lesson... do what i do... get in a med tank and just push them into enemy fire and not let them get repaired or retreat.... if they think they can use a mam and put the whole team at risk of losing then just let them die.....teach them a lesson for their own stupidity.... ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

C4kitty, your posts have got to qualify for the most difficult posts for anyone to read. I suggest that before you participate in forum activity, complete basic 4th grade english. Then you can come back, and you will actually be able to make some statements that make sense. While you're writing your (flame) reply to my post, please remember that the first letter of each word of each sentence is to be capitalized, along with proper nouns. Also, when you complete composing your sentence, use an appropriate punctuation mark (.?!) Oh yeah, commas can help you imply pauses in you writing, you could make good use of them. Don't overrate the ellipsis (...).

C4Kitty, I see you've come back again.
Well, I tell you one thing -- you're a complete idiot. Did your trip to France make you even more retarded? Think about it, you foolish girl. You've never been in a game with me, you know nothing of how I play, yet you make all these wild (albeit stupid) remarks as if they're really going to hurt me. "MOMMY HELP SOME BAD GIRL SAID I'M A LOSER ONLINE WAAAAH" Right... ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
Are you done making a fool of yourself? By the way, get on GameSpy on one of the servers, add [-WL-]Aircraftkiller to your list, and I'll show you how wrong you are.
I also highly doubt that you've taken any combat training. None of it would translate into tank commanding. You either drive a tank, gun a tank, load a tank cannon, or command a tank if you're in the armoured corps dealing with vehicles of that nature.

These are 144 points and none of them used as an ending to a sentence.
By that you've proven that you REALY had some training for the military. Well, it's better to shoot at people than to educate oneself, isn't it?
And yes, mammys are bull$hit.

Mammoths are really good at base defense. Exp, when they are gaurding the AGT. They can kill infantry easilly by shooting missiles into the building and can kill flame tank's relatively easy as well.

Mammoths should not be used alone. They needs lot of support like medium tanks, APC's (to kill any infantry) and hotwires. Of course that requires teamwork, but that's what the game is all about. Unfortunately, there are lots of poeople who doesn't care about that.
If there's no teamwork, don't get mammoths.

LMAO
Really dudes, think outside of the box. Mammoths deal out massive firepower for their price. If you know your vehicle and its weaknesses and strengths, you can easily beat the hell out of anything on the field.
Using a Mammoth is a hard task and it requires a lot of skill to drive that enormous tank. Hell, I can evade tank shots and rockets with that thing; not a whole lot of them, but a good number.
Whoever said that firing cannons is the best versus vehicles... Wrong. Mammoth Tusk missiles are the best weapon against *anything*. It takes about eight or nine Tusk missiles to take down a Light Tank. If it retreats after a few missiles, finish it off with the cannons. If an infantry unit comes too close, don't fire missiles at it. Fire the cannons, you can pop them right in the face with a cannon shell if they are right next to your hull.
Mammoths own the battlefield, people. If you have just sniper support and a single Hotwire backing you up, you can own anything, so long as you know how to use your vehicle properly. You can't use a Mammoth like you would use a Medium Tank. Both are entirely different vehicles meant for entirely different purposes. The Medium Tank is a semi-fast battle tank. The Mammoth is a slow assault and battle tank. Try and learn how to use it... You'll be surprised as to how effective it really is.

the question is not how effective it is in particular situations but whether it is smart to use him. As the enemy gets A LOT of points by just shooting at the tank it is often stupid to use one. You have always to consider the situation, and I know hardly any where a medium is inferior to a mammoth.

Don't be stupid. Someone else mines while the Mammy stays by the entrance, firing its tusk missles into the water. A sniper for support can take care of the raveshaws and laser chaingunners.
Sometimes people are so stupid.

Whoever says mammoths need anti-infantry support is a dumbass. The rockets will kill any infantry in one or two hits at most, and the cannons do that but at a longer range. I regularly have games where I have 40 kills with a mammoth, while people are trying to kill me. If there's any tank that's anti-infantry (besides the 1337ness of the APC of course) it's a mammy.

oh.... no I"m not back... I"m just getting bored over here.... and to the person who took the time to count the number of periods i had in my last post... good for you, you were able to count higher than the number of toes and fingers you have...If you had a brain, which i doubt you do... you'd have realized that i'm typing this in a running conversation..... periods denote pauses in between thoughts and comments.... but thanks for playing anyways... oh and to the english teacher....... thanks for the comment too bad i'm not able to make a smart as*ed comment back at you since you make no sense what so ever... but please do try... I do hope that in the future you're able to insult me better..... THANK YOU TRY AGAIN.... and to ACK... no I haven't been in a game with you.... but what does it matter youre the one who started to flame me for no reason..... and since you seem so ample with reason for why i suck at this game so bad... I'd like to know what makes you so good???.... hmmmm is it because youre a loud mouthed little moron..???? hmmm I think so, but then again.... youre excused... thats why youre own beta tester/clan mate turned you in for Dev. to take care of... ever wonder who sent him those pics of you flaming newbs??? hahahahahahhaha pathetic little sh*t..... too stupid to figure out why you got banned for 7 days.... oh well... guess that provided you with enough time to work on your most epic failure ever..... oh and good job on finishing meadows.... did it fit nicely into the trash bin?.... heh....you know ACK you really shouldn't make such bold comments when they normally come back to bite you in the as*.... and did i say "combat"... no i didn't... I studied tactics... and feild command strategies....but then again I never finished..... so... big whoop.... oh... and I've always wondered where you get all this time to sit around working on your failure maps....is it that youre a shut in... or just to dam* fat to get your happy meal as* out the door.....oh... and I'll be sure to add you ACK... just so you can "teach me a lesson" sure why not sit around gamespy aka g*yspy.... heh guess thats why you like it so much you kinky voyeristic little peeping tom....look out boys One Airforce shutin goes round the outside.... round the outside....
Oh and I do agree mams can have their time and place... however it takes skill to use them.... their rapid fire and stenght of it's secondary weapons make it a good offensive weapon when in use with other units...It is most effective in areas where the enemy is wedged into a tight space... and has few routes to make their attack from behind....but the newb who like the idea of using a huge tank he/she has seen in C&C and Red Alert is the most dangerous.... with poor forsight into the knowledge of what an outgunned Mam. tank will cost the team....for this very reason it is a more forseable victory for GDI if the entire team abstains from using this unit...not only is it slow and large... but it also acts like a beacon to all Nod units.. being seen as both a major threat (beacuse of its power) and as a large slow tank that gives off major points its like Catnip for a kitty ![[Wink]](wink.gif) when Nod sees this tank off in the distance

Reminds me of when the renegade demo came out, as soon as a mammoth rolled onto the feild everyone was yelling"Mammoth tank in the feild!" and you could see the light tanks back into there base and all the infantry fall back as if God himself walked onto the battlefeild, if you want some real kicks go play the demo again and see this for yourself, also many of them dont have turret lock on so you can take em out with a chem tropper of buggy.
