Are you saying that any of them could defeat AT-ATs?

One more item to add: now that I recall the cut-scene with the Mammoth Mk2 (apologies for initially confusing it with the Mk1, which was just a really big tank), I recall that it blasted its way through the doors of an enemy base and then destroyed the buildings inside one at a time.

For the sake of comparison, I would point out that an AT-AT would have obliterated this base with a single max-firepower shot from 17 km away, instead of having to crash through the doors and take out the buildings inside one at a time at a range of 50m.

Assuming that in-game ranges are accurate, certainly not. Just pointing out that the MMK2's speed and range combination is pretty worthless against an AT-AT, against which armor is kinda pointless. Give me a bunch of light tanks (better yet, a Cyborg Commando in a subterranian APC

) any day, at least I'll get near enough to the AT-AT to let off a futile shot.

I would have to apologize to everyone, esp. Wong here: I have made incredibly biased unsupported claimes here. The only reason why I have been defing the Mark 2 was because of my liking of C & C series. Also, Ihad forgotten that the tchnology was, no, not light years, parsecs ahead of Teiberian SUn's technology.

Perhaps the Mark 2 might be able to deal some damage, but yes, it would still lose to the AT-At. SIgh.

However, thankfully, though a bit unrelated, there is one weapon in Tiberian SUn that can get back at the AT-AT: the mutant stalker(damn, forgot its rel anme, methinks)

Capturing an AT-AT, and unleashing it on the enemy.... bring on !

In hindsight, I'd rather have a single original C&C construction yard. Nothing is a match for the traveling sandbag.
