In large modern warfare engagements, infantry may as well be [[Cannon Fodder]]. You want something that can [[Hold the Line]]. Something with a [[BFG]], crawler treads and tons of armor. You want a tank. |

Of course, the above paragraph refers to tanks around the size of today's main battle tanks. Sometimes that's not enough. <big>[[Bigger Is Better|They need to be bigger!]] Big enough to crush the ''other tanks''! [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|And carry loads of weapons!]] [[Multi-Track Drifting|While racing donuts around them!]] No, we're not compensating for anything!</big> |

Don't be fooled!]] Likewise, don't listen to the [[Crazy Awesome|deranged lunatics]] who keep wanting to [[Walking Tank|put legs on them]]. [[It Will Never Catch On|Ridiculously impractical, that.]] |

* Considering the page quote, it should come as no surprise that badass tanks are common in ''[[Tiberium Wars]]''. Tanks are depicted fairly realistically, with the interior of the tanks being cramped, noisy, and hot, and realistic tank tactics being used. The interior of the Mammoth Tanks are described as being more spacious, but still loud and uncomfortable. |
