Vietcong Mammoth Tank

"You've got to be kidding me..."

-Allied GI, upon seeing a Mammoth in Vietcong colours

Tactical Analysis

 * One tank to rule them all: While it remains a mystery how the Vietcong gained Mammoth Tanks, they are known to still be frighteningly good at battle. Two large bore cannons reduce tanks to scrap, while a pair of rocket pods can be used to deal with lesser targets like light vehicles and aircraft.


 * Nothing can stop us: In addition to this, Mammoths are also equipped with specialised burrowing equipment that allows them to burrow and tunnel underground. With this, Mammoths can disappear into the ground without a trace.


 * Am I rusting? Nah...: Drawbacks of the Mammoth are its slow speed and turn rate, which means a dedicated anti-armour flanker could rip it apart without fear of retaliation. The high maintenance cost also means it is difficult to field one. Then again, a Mammoth can simply roll over other tanks once they have caught up to them.


 * Drown them in lead: It is believed that the Vietcong may have repaired and even upgraded the autoloaders on one of the Mammoths, boosting its rate of fire. If this is true, then it is likely that it will be an even more terrifying opponent than the others.
