![]() ![]() G-150's were employed by the 22nd Infantry Division during the Third Tiberium War. The G-150 Mammoth variant carried an infantry squad. DeCandido and some details might contradict canon. The following is based on the spin off novel by Keith R. IIIs were fielded by the Steel Talons experimental combat technology division in the form of Railgun Accelerators-which enabled Railgun-equipped Mammoths to deliver unparalleled amounts of firepower for a short duration, and Adaptive Armor: which adds superior resilience and EMP-immunity. Steel Talons Mammoth Tanks outfitted with Adaptive armor were especially known for their extreme resilience and durability, even by GDI's own standards. ![]() UpgradesĪn upgrade replacing the cannons with railguns became available prior to the Third Tiberium War, and the vehicles would continue to be retrofitted right through to the end of that conflict.Īdditional upgrade options for Mammoth Mk. The tank is equipped with dual 150mm cannons on the turret (which can be later upgraded to railguns) and comes, in the vein of earlier models, with dual 4.75-inch missile pods attached at the sides - specially designed to attack infantry and aircraft. This gives the Mammoth a combination of speed, durability, maneuverability and IR (heat signature) reduction. The main power source are dual Mil-Spec CVJF (Combat Vehicle Jet Fuel) ducted turbine generators. It has a distinctive H shape that comes from General Combat Hull Inc.'s patented quad-drive tread system - a pattern which was originally developed for the Bull tank.Įach tread has two independent high-torque HTSC (High Temperature Superconductor) electromagnetic motors. Against Avatars and Annihilator Tripods, the Mammoth Tank will generally emerge victorious. The Mammoth Tank's firepower and armor were so impressive to the extent that it can destroy three Predator tanks in combat and still have around half its health left over. The vehicle is designed to incorporate an organic engineer crew to maintain it in the field - they could independently repair the vehicle to 50% effectiveness (nonfunctional in-game). For this purpose, it is covered in thick, hexagonal armor. The Mammoth Tank is designed with long-range operations in harsh environments in mind. The Mammoth would later serve in all remaining battles throughout the war including at Sarajevo, New Eden and the Italian Red Zone.Īlthough these tanks still served in some capacity as late as 2074 (in BZ-1, Paris), they were largely replaced by next generation Mammoth Tanks and their revived walker brother by 2077. III was first deployed in Alexandria, where they proved very efficient in destroying Nod's primary African port and base. Notable deploymentsĭuring the Third Tiberium War the Mammoth Mk. III entering production in Reykjavik, Iceland. II was ceased in 2039, with the Mammoth Mk. Nevertheless, production of the Mammoth Mk. This decision was not without its detractors Colonel Nick Parker opposed the discontinuation of the massive walker and claimed it was the result of "bureaucratic penny pinching" rather than an appreciation of military realities (it turned out that GDI research found walker legs highly vulnerable to sabotage, which had a lot to do with the decision). II superheavy walker was slated to be supplanted by the less expensive and equally durable, but less powerful Mammoth Mk. EVA detailing the heavy tank, Third Tiberium Warįollowing the Second Tiberium War, GDI concluded that the technology present did not make widespread use or deployment of walkers an optimal solution. Its resilience and firepower are unmatched. The Mammoth tank is GDI's most advanced mobile armor. 3.2 Mammoth Armored Reclamation Vehicle.
