City Flying - The mammoth tanks are so slow and so immobile that they generally never make it to the enemy base unless covered by a sniper
Mesa - too big of a target, the arty can hit it while not be hit by it back and even if the right or left turret does hit the mammy one tech can repair it fast enough while one hotwire cannot repair a mammoth tank whilst the arty shoots at it.
Field - too big of target and too slow. If i was Nod I would hit the easiest tank to shoot at first and that would generally mean the mammoth as it's so big and slow. Not to mention you can easily get out of view from a mammoth.
Under - again too big and slow, even though GDI has big advantage on that map anyways with just meds...
Hourglass - The only useful purpose in this would be to stop hill camping. I'm not even sure if the mammoth tank can fire both shells and hit the ob (on the side) without being hit by it because of it's big "torso". So yeah mammys would be good for over the hill but generally if Nod isn't stupid they won't abandon the sides. The fact remains that in almost any situation the med tank is the most useful tank for GDI. The arty is the backbone for Nod. Take away one or the other and you lose the point of getting tanks

And yes, it is a slow tank. That is why I said it is mostly best to have a mammoth tank rush when you have some tanks already in their base. It's there primarily for strength. You'll need them if you want to try and kill a building filled with techs.


Oderint, dum metuant.
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
