Mechs or Tanks, An age old C&C question, which is better? Options

[Darkstorm]

Just a simple question seeing as how C&C 4 is going back to what seems a mech based game similar to TS (though not nearly as good). I personally think in the situation they have it set in Mechs seem logical since they allow you to be above the Tiberium. Tanks are ok but seem a bit illogical since Tiberium would make it hard to move around. I thought I'd ask for your opinions.

I think actually, aircraft work the best.
But yea, a good mix of tanks and mechanical walkers and infantry work the best.

Because: Tanks are low and are balanced over a wide area but have blind spots and are slow, no matter how big an engine you put in.

Mechs can see far and are good over unpredictable terrain (like med/deep water), but they can topple over if too heavy weapons because of the high center of gravity.

Infantry will be able to get in tight spots and can go inside buildings [ ] however, they are organic humanoids, so they can grow tired and can get blown to bits if not careful.

They're much much faster than mechs and infantry.. the only thing faster than them are aircraft. And you won't win if you have only aircraft.

I'm not sure but I think I voted "Mostly Tanks, a few Mechs is fine."

In the Tiberium universe mechs are useful when fighting on tiberium-infested areas (since it's hard to cross tiberium fields with tanks and infantry), but otherwise tanks are much better. Mechs also could have an advantage in urban areas, if the buildings wouldn't always get destroyed.
