The Mammoth Mk. III (GDI designation: Mammoth 27) is a GDI heavy assault tank that entered service prior to the Third Tiberium War. At the time it replaced the Mammoth Mk. II walker as GDI's premier land assault unit.
History
Following the Second Tiberium War, GDI concluded the technology did not yet exist to make widespread use or deployment of walkers an optimal solution. The Mammoth Mk. II walker was slated to be supplanted by the less expensive Mammoth Mk. III. 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. Nonetheless production of the Mammoth Mk. II ceased in 2039. This was followed by the Mammoth Mk.III entering production in Reykjavik, Iceland.[3]
Legacy
Although these tanks still served in some capacity as late as 2074 (in BZ-1, Paris)[4], they were largely replaced by next generation Mammoth tanks by 2077.
Truly awesome. That yellow hurts my eyes much less than other units having such remap colours. ;-)
How are you texturing it so fast?
Fast? It takes me longer than almost everyone else I know :P
Wow, I remeber you posted the untextured model merely a couple of days ago. It'd be definitely fast if this all is one person's work. :-)
Nice,can fit in BF2142 as well as fits in C&C.
Why is it called 27?
Ask EA.
