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?
reasons

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.

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.

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.

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.
