Nothing makes me cringe more than twin guns on an MBT. If you're firing a 150mm you really only need one barrel, and you don't really need it all that long as it could double as a missile launcher(think M60A2 Patton) at long range.

With respect; aside from the lack of MG's on any C&C Heavy Tank. The Mammoth Mk III is a suitable practical design for the universe it was designed to serve in. It's designed for prolonged exposure to Tiberium Radiation that would eat away any normal MBT. Same goes for it's smaller cousin the Predator Mk II. Tiberium Veins are the reason it's tracks are segmented so it can crawl over them. Oh Did I mention it can take a tact-nuke to the face and live? Yeah, that's a bad arse practical tank for it's universe.

The tank was given its nickname Tiger listen (help·info) by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the later Tiger II entered production. The initial official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (‘Panzer VI version H’, abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H), but the tank was redesignated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943. It also had the ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 181.

No. PzKpfW VI Ausf. E was the Tiger I, the PzKpfW Ausf. B was the Tiger II (King Tiger). The PzKpfW VII should have been the Standardpanzer, I think.
