Mammoth tank

The Mammoth tank is a very heavy twin barrelled tank.

The Great War
During the Great War, acting on the orders of Joseph Stalin, Soviet engineers created the Mammoth Tank, the heaviest tank ever produced in that conflict. It mounted 120 mm cannons, Mammoth tusk missiles, and extremely heavy armor. It was slow, which made it vulnerable to hit and fade assaults, but its ability to self-repair to 50 percent health, as well as its raw power, meant that it was a great threat on the battlefield. It was highly effective against aircraft, infantry, and armor.

In keeping with Soviet tactics at the time, Mammoth tanks were used in huge tank rushes to overwhelm enemy forces and enemy defenses with the sheer power of their tank cannons, grinding enemy forces under their treads. Mammoth tanks were manufactured in large amounts, but the massive numbers of Allied tanks eventually overwhelmed even the Mammoth brigades.

The First Tiberium War
During the First Tiberium War, a few minor changes were made. The basic design was kept the same, with twin 120 mm armor piercing cannons and Mammoth tusk missiles, but the missiles were altered. They were made larger and heavier, which meant that though they were more effective against tanks and infantry, they had a much longer reload time. Fortunately, the larger and simpler missiles, as well as the simpler missile launchers reduced the cost of the Mammoth tank from the previous version. However, all other features were kept nearly the same. GDI used the Mammoth tank in a similar fashion as the Soviets, although due to its reduced effectiveness against infantry, often paired it with anti-infantry units.

The Second Tiberium War
During the Second Tiberium War, only the Forgotten used Mammoth tanks, although GDI forces occasionally stumbled across some that could be used. These Mammoth tanks were 30 years old, and identical to previous tanks. Although slow, they still wielded considerable firepower and heavy armor.
