Somebody had to say it

[warmchrysanthemum]

[i-identify-tanks-in-posts]

contrasting to the mechanically super-complex Starcraft tank, what about the Mammoth Tank from C&C (The original, not the newer game versions) https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Mammoth_tank_(Tiberian_Dawn)

I've covered the Mammoth before, in the earlier days of the blog, but I'll summarize my opinion quickly here, in three points:

Double-gun tanks are bad. They will always be bad. No tank has ever been improved by doubling its main gun.

Split-track designs like the Scorpion and Mammoth are bad. They add an immense level of complexity and risk of failure to the vehicle for little-to-no benefit.

The size/weight to power ratio. It's slow. Painfully slow. Modern MBTs typically exceed a power-to-weight ratio of 25 hp/ton, and the Mammoth definitely isn't hitting that benchmark.

Those are my three main problems with the Mammoth. All fixable, with some design changes, but still poor features.

If you'd like to discuss further, I welcome you in the notes.

Finally finished a drawing I started ages ago aaaa!!! My boyfriend made me listen to 'Militant Force (Remastered)' and 'Brain Freeze (Remastered)' by Frank Klepacki and The Tiberian Sons and these two songs SCREAM Kim vs Shego!!! Militant force is Kim and Ron's theme and Brain Freeze is Shego and Drakken's theme, especially with that evil laugh. I'm really, really bad at playing Command and Conquer though...

Tiberian Sun has just such an immaculate aesthetic. The CGI cutscenes, costumes, props, lighting, the presentation of the user interface...

Okay, the Tiberian Sun track was actually called Killing Machine, but close enough

Kane from Command & Conquer and Girtablilu from Monster Girl Encyclopedia. Kane is leader of Brotherhood of Nod. Girtablilu serves him, probably because the symbol of the Brotherhood is a scorpion tail.
