If you get within a certain radius of the mammtoth it can't hit you directly and can only damage you a wee bit from splash damage, belive me once I was NOD and was in a flame tank and saw a mammy coming for our harvester- I just rammed him and kept flaming him yet still touching him so he could't hit me, well I blew it up and got a nice flaming from its driver lol

i found that out the hard way. a chem warrior managed to get on my side. i couldn't hit him at all and couldn't get away. the smart play would have been to hop out and fight him as an inf, but i didn't think of it at the time. if he hopped in, then i could've done the same thing to him as he was doing me. oh well, die and learn i say. lol..

i didn't venture out alone. originally, there were 2 of us hammering the airstrip from the side on mesa. the other mammy was destroyed and i was then alone. i was trying to retreat, but as i said, they're just too slow to get out of trouble. lesson learned. lol.. oh yah, and i do have my camera locked to turret. but the kemmy was just too close for me to do any damage to it.

Remember, it's Nod, not NOD.

Also with the Mammoth, its hard to get a Strike force into position. I remember on Under 5 GDI Mammoths were at the opening of the Nod base. They had to wait to get into position.About 6 Nod Raveshaws came up behind and nailed em one by one. Thats why I prefer the Med, usually I had the same one for an enitre level. Its firepower maybe less, but it can get out of trouble. Plus the med is good for hit and run attacks to create a diversion. Just to prove my point. On city I bought a Med, I took out several vehicles including two flames. Someone swiped it from outside the AGT. So I bought a mammoth and battled a Flame tank, I was slaughtered... used 'I' way to much there...

I remember seeing a group of nod engineers once charge a mammoth from the sides, most were taken out by the Tusks But they covered it in C4....
Mammoths need support more than any other units I think. However I still thing, 'oh God' when Im playing as Nod and see a GDI Mammoth force incomming.

The Mammoth is just a giant, heavily gunned and armored cardboard box. If you're smart enough, almost anything can destroy it, since you can run/ride circles around it and the turrent couldn't catch up with you. It should never be ridden around alone (of course, since it's been said many times) and only should be ridden at all if you think it can reach the enemy base in one piece, which is it's only use, really. Besides, if you're looking for field superiority, would you rather run out with a giant box that moves slower than a 4 year old on a tricycle that you could shoot with a pistol from across the continent, or a small cardboard that moves fast and is hard to hit?

Try me in a Mammoth. Everything you said you'll throw out the window.

I'll take that bet  Put me in a stealth tank or flame tank and i'll scrap that piece of metal you call GDI's most dangerous weapon. Put me and a light tank and i'll probally beat you  . Mammoths aren't known for their accuracy.
