Designer Notes
The Assault Mammoth is a close combat variant of the standard model and is designed to fight in confined environments such as cities and canyons. To this end, the assault Mammoth is even more sturdy and well armored than the standard Mammoth, with additional frontal armor. The crewmen, one pilot and one system operator/gunner, sit in a tandem configuration, with the pilot on the right and the gunner on the left, just above him. Some production runs reverse this set-up, although the machine's performance is unaffected. With the exception of the turret-mounted, 40mm heavy autocannon, which has a decent range, the Assault Mammoth's armament is designed with brotal, short range combat in mind. Instead of the mixed missile/snub cannon payload of the basic Mammoth, the machine carries twin snub cannons, one in eaach battle arm. The awesome firepower of these virtually ensure that the Assault Mammoth will destroy anything placed in front of its barrels, even a heavy tank. Each gun draws its ammunition from a 25 shot heavily armored magazine mounted right behind the barrel assembly. Like in the standard model, two swivel-mounted machine guns on either side of the body protect the vehicle by picking up any troublesome infantry units, hopefully before they can use a missile launcher, which remain dangerous despite the Assault Mammoth's heavy armor.
