Mammoth

Mammoth is a Self-Propelled Artillery. It is the resistance equivalent of the confederation Torrent. It has the 3rd longest range of all units.

Mammoth is a seige unit and need to be deployed (which makes it stationary) in order to be fired. Upon attacking, Mammoth fires 2 consecutive shells which deals large amount of damage in a small area.

## Usage

Considering it poor reload but high burst damage with long lange, the Mammoth artillery should only be use in combination with other units such as infantry and combat vehicles.

With it long range, it's best to use the Assisting strategy with a few Mammoths in the back with many units to protect it, Mammoth is excellence in in small maps where you can slowly chew away the enemy base while remains close to yours.

Note: Mammoth is extremely vulnerable to air/close-ranged attack so make sure to be well prepared against helicopters and attack planes.

### Tips

Unlike it counter part Torrent, the Mammoth artillery vehicle is quite bad in assisting against a scatered group of enemies. However, with enough Mammoths (ideally 4+), it's capable of quickly staturate a large area with shells, so it's recommended to have at least 4 of it to deal any recognizable amount of damage.

### Strategies

#### **Slow-siege**

-Instruction: Start with a few Mammoths and some assault units, slowly advances torward the enemy base and chipping off everything (ONLY WORKS IF ENEMY IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD!).

-Pros: Very annoying to the enemy, pretty much impossile to counter if you have no units ready at the moment of attack.

-Cons: Mammoth and assault units (of choice) needs to be well upgraded, takes a long time to get the job done, risky and unreliable in multi-players battle.

#### **Assisting**

-Instruction: Use your Mammoths in combination with the main army to deals with Torrents and gives a quick burst of damage at the start of the fight.

-Pros: Able to quickly kill enemy MLRS(s) without the risk of getting close, may bait the enemy into bombing your Mammoths instead which is much better than having all of your assault vehicles get pulverized.

-Cons: Sacrifice a decent amount of CPs which you can use to get some better units and deals more dps, can be easily dealt with by jet planes (Vertex, Hawk) if left unprotected, slow moving speed which makes it hard to keep up with the pace of the main army and managed.

#### **Baiting**

-Instruction: Mammoth(s) can be used to lure the enemy into mines or make them follow the Mammoth(s) so your main army can rush in and attack the base or use bombers and bomb them when they're trying to attack it, **Leviathan** is also a great choice if there are any hills nearby. (MOSTLY USE AT LOWER RANKS!).

-Pros: Destroy them with the element of suprise!, easy to set up and use.

-Cons: The enemy may not be tricked and just snipe your Mammoths with jet planes instead or send a few units to deal with it.

#### **Spam**

-Instruction: Produces a ridiculous amount of Mammoths and then suddenly rain shells upon your enemy when they not expected (use Wasp for added scouting and damage multiplier), make sure to left some good amount of CPs left to make protective units.

-Pros: May just disintegrate 80% of the enitre army of your enemy in the first salvo, stupidly effective if the enemy only have land vehicles.

-Cons: Very expensive and takes a long time to prepares. If they have air units or Energy Shield and Zeus, they might be able to survive through everything and kill all of your Mammoths in matter of seconds or sherd through everything with air units while remains barely scratched.

## Overview

Although being a fun unit to use, Mammoth itself is rarely used and not praticle in most situations where other units can outperform it at a cheaper cost.
