History
"..."

-...

This Ironforge-designed heavy tank destroyer is based on a series of experimental vehicles trialed by Alliance's Athel Loren and Ironforge armed forces during the last century, which their blueprints acquired by Andora in response to the growing threats of the Big Three Monsters. The design was revived due to recent Voshkod and MLA advances in anti-missile technology, which threatened to render heavy anti-tank missiles ineffective. Heavy Anti-Tank Guided Missiles had previously been the mainstay of Republic tank-destroyer forces. The monstrous new vehicle was met with some skepticism, particularly from the armor community, due to its lack of mobility and turreted guns, which it was considered anachronistic and expensive. But its defenders cited its heavy armor and powerful dual Rheinmetall 140mm cannons as proof of its suitability for defensive actions in Central and Eastern Andora. The 140mm twin cannons are an ingenious gas-operated auto-loading design that is capable of using specialized Jormund jet-assisted laser-guided graphene penetrator rounds and that it can also deploy its stabilizing legs which reveal that the guns are actually turreted, and were locked forward as the recoil would have flipped the tank if it had fired from the sides. The extreme specialization of the 140mm cannon turned out to be perfect for a tank destroyer. Even without the combustion light gas shells later created for the Jagdmammut's cannons, the 140mm anti-tank gun was theoretically capable of knocking out even Overlord and Apocalypse tanks at their extreme range. As with most Republic vehicles, the Jagdmammut is powered by a highly efficient multi-fuel engine fitted to an electrical transmission gear.

Pressure from General Wallace mechanized infantry formations in the Republic Army, who now felt vulnerable with the diminished potency of their anti-tank missiles, ensured funding was secured. It was given the designation 'Jagdmammut ' - which literally translates into English as 'hunting mammoth'. The vehicle was issued to Republic forces to replace their missile-armed tank destroyers and support their nimble infantry fighting vehicles in the late 2000s V.C.. This deployment was to prove fortuitous in the future when the Jagdmammut's ability to hold its ground against almost insurmountable numbers of enemy fighting vehicles would serve it well. In action the Jagdmammut's gunners soon found that the combination of the excellent optical systems and the powerful guns allowed them to out-range any other tank being fielded at that time, allowing them to destroy bewildered enemy vehicles with impunity before they could even return fire.
