RA2/Generals concept: Mammoth tank with four cannons
(view original)
Post a comment
Description
New RA2 concept art found on Cncseries.ru site. These art was in RA2 section, but unit itself was seen only in Generals alpha version.
Concept art for Mammoth tank. Unit with these design was planned to be in CnC Generals as american tank, but idea was scrapped during development. But you can see these tank on several early screenshots. Interesting that these version of Mammoth tank featured FOUR cannons and AA guns instead of traditional for these unit rocket pods.
odd to drastically change the mammoth. the chassis seems a lot smaller for a mammoth, ontop of the 4 cannons and missile pods replaced, its also no longer a quad-track but a tri-track, adding one in the middle
I like Quad Cannons.
But yeah.... Triple Tread is Stupid.
It abandons the Two Front Tracks Two Back Tracks Layout of the Mammoth and the Apocalypse too.
The Chassis is way too small as well I agree.
The Concept Art Tank Track Layout would be like this

Could maybe copy the Real Life Soviet Tank Object 279?
Object 279 had 4 Tracks but not in the Mammoth/Apocalypse Layout.
Imagine the Above Concept but with 2 Centre Line Treads....

I get the impression some of this concept was carried over to the Overlord. Particularly the AA gun turret.
