Mammoth MK2 Duels MK2 vs MK2

 

MK2 vs MK2 is important: The MammothMK2 vs MammothMK2 battle is a very important part of GDI vs GDI. There are many tricks that can help you win the battle

 

Fake a Carryall pickup: Pretend to lift your MammothMK2 with Carryall so that the MK2 targets your Carryall and not your MK2 so you can destroy the enemy's MK2 with yours. Target the Mk2 for pickup so your Mk2 is highlighted and the enemy might think you are picking up the MK2. Then send the Carryall to fly over your MK2 so it makes it might fly over the MK2 and prevent the enemy from retargeting your Mk2.

 

Land Mk2 near a hill or cliff: Try to land on the other side of a cliff or hill with your MK2 so that yours can still shoot and theirs can not.

 

Reinforce the Mk2 vs Mk2 battle: Bring Titans, Orca Bombers, or other units to help your MK2. Fast units like the planes can keep up with the fast Carryall flying around a Mammoth MK2, so these units work well to reinforce your Mk2 vs Mk2 duels.

 

Tripple Click Glitch: I can only get this to work in an offline game, maybe because of the lag. But while the Carryall is sitting on a plane you can tripple left mouse click on the bottom left corner of the Carryall while the mouse cursor is still four white arrows. If you do it right, the Carryall will unrelease from the MammothMK2 and hover above it. This can mess up the targeting of the enemy MammothMK2 but I think your MK2 might get damaged too underneath the Carryall. Ground units can hit it while the Carryall while it is hovering but an ion cannon can not.The Tripple click glitch hovering carryall can almost make it look like it is just sitting on top of the Mammoth MK2, your enemy might think he has a chance to kill your Carryall with one shot from the Primary weapon, and then you destroy his Mk2. (Note: The Tripple click glitch hovering Carryall avove the Mammoth MK2 can very quickly click to land back on the MammothMK2, faster than if the Carryall had lifted off the ground.)

 

Land Carryall inside tank trick: Rapidly left mouse click under the Carryall where it's shadow is, when it is landing a Mammoth MK2. If you do it right, the Carryall will land inside the Mammoth MK2 and might mess up your enemy's MK2 targeting. He might accidently target the Carryall inside your MK2 leaving you more time to attack his MK2 with yours, and possibly destroy his mk2 first. The Carryall will not land on the MammothMK2 from parked inside it, you have to fly off it and quickly re-target it so that the Carryall lands back down on the MammothMK2. Its a risky move because if your enemy hits your Carryall with its main rail gun, your Carryall will die in one shot. (Note: sometimes it might be worth it to lose your Carryall and then destroy the enemy MammothMk2 with yours because he was busy shooting your Carryall parked inside your MK2).

 

MK2 Rodeo up then down: You can lift a vehicle with your Carryall up and immediately drop it in the same spot. There are a few ways to do this trick. One of the easiest ways is to click in the bottom right corner of the Carryall while it is sitting on a tank. The mouse cursor should be green when you do this. The second way to do this trick is to click 1 cell to the right of the Carryall sitting on top of a tank. Now, while the Carryall is taking off, immediately click under it and the Carryall will come back down to set the tank in the same spot.

 

Planes ruin enemy Mk2 targeting your Mk2: Fly your Carryall or planes in front of your MammothMK2 so the enemy has trouble targeting it. If you waypoint the Carryall about 2-3 cells, or 1 inch, south of the Mammoth MK2 it will hover in the air almost directly over your MK2 so it is hard to target by the enemy Mammoth MK2.

 

Carryall "X" scatter = stays in air: The Carryall will hover above your MK2 in mid air by pressing “X”=scatter repeatedly. First land on your MK2 so the Carryall is targeting the Mammoth MK2, now deploy the Carryall off the MammothMK2 and start pressing “X” to float it in the air above the MammothMK2. This might get the enemy to miss-target on your MK2. The Carryall lands faster on the MK2, while hovering in the air, and not having to take off from the ground. The Carryall should might your MK2 as long as you keep pressing “X” and keep it in the air, or it might wander off a bit away from your MK2.

 

Land then deploy Carryall off MK2: Land the Carryall on the Mammoth MK2 only to deploy it right back off to trick the enemy MammothMK2 into possibly trying to shoot the Carryall instead. This tactic is risky because the Mammoth MK2 can destroy a Carryall in one shot while it is attached to a Mammoth MK2 or any other vehicle.

​

Lure the enemy MK2 to battle yours near hidden units/structures: Lure the enemy Carryall+ Mammoth MK2 to a location where you have hidden Sams or hidden units/structures behind trees, cliffs edges, tunnel entrances, and buildings.

 

Hide units behind MK2: Hide units like the Ghost Stalker or Mutant Hijacker next to the Mammoth MK2 so that your enemy can not see them.

 

EMP freeze the enemy MK2: It is easier for your MammothMK2 to kill the enemy's MammothMK2 if the enemy's Mammoth MK2 is frozen and yours is not.

​

EMP kills Carryall several ways: The EMP Cannon can destroy a Carryall while it is taking off from the ground, landing on the MammothMK2, parked on a Mammoth MK2, or taking off while attached to the Mammoth MK2. If you EMP before the Carryall lands on the MammothMK2, only the MammothMK2 is frozen.

​

Lure Carryall/MK2 over Firestorm: Lure the enemy Carryall and MammothMK2 over your Firestorm Wall Sections and turn it on.

 

Walls trap enemy MK2: Destroy the enemy Carryall and build walls around the MammothMK2 to contain it. The MammothMk2 can not destroy walls.

 

Lure enemy MK2 to stealthed or underground units: Your ally's Stealth tanks, or Subterranean APC with Rocket Infantry and or Cyborg Commando or Mutant Hijacker can sneakily be near your Mammoth MK2 when your lure the enemy's MammothMK2 to yours. Look out for Sensor Arrays before you try this trick.(Note: This trick can also be done if you have both GDI and Nod technologies).

​

ALT Hide vehicle under Carryall on tank: You can hold the ALT button and hide a vehicle under a Carryall that is sitting on top of one of your other vehicles. (Example: Hold ALT and send Hover MRLS to hide under the Carryall that is sitting on your MK2. Your Hover MRLS can shoot at the enemy's Carryall (or planes) and surprise him, this icould be useful in a Mammoth MK2 vs Mammoth MK2 battle. The HoverMRLS shoots at about the same speed as the Vet Bal Mammoth MK2. The Hover MRLS does 60 damage every shot to the MK2. This might be enough to make your Mammoth win the Fight. They shoot at about the same speed, but eventually the HoverMRLS shoots slightly faster than the Veteran Balance MK2. (Mk2 has 1200 hp) Mammoth does 200hp damage every shot to mammoth. (six shots) 5 shots from HoverMRLS = 300hp damage.
