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.

I'm an aircraft supporter through & through, but due to the fact that This discussion was based on ground craft i took a semi-neutral, combined arms approach to this. I mean think about it. We all know that there are some things that infantry can do that tanks can't & vice versa. The same applies when you add aircraft & 'mechs to the mixture. It's like a game of rock, paper, scissors when you think about it. You can outfit and train an infantry with just about any weapon, but you can't make them squish-proof. You can equip a tank with any kind of armor or armament, but it can't infiltrate or construct buildings. Infantry & tanks can't fly, yet aircraft can't go through buildings & survive. Planes & infantry can't crush tanks under their feet/wheels, yet a 'mech can. Ground troops & vehicles can eliminate hostile anti-air batteries, while aircraft can bomb strongholds that too heavily reinforced for ground troops to openly assault.

So even though any one of these has the potential To change the tide of the battlefield, They strengthen each other when combined together.

oh Corsair, the infantry do have one unique advantage over all these others, & that is that they can commandeer, the tanks, 'Mechs, boats, & aircraft. Assuming they survive long enough to get close enough to do such. (use your enemy's weapons against them)

Assuming they survive long enough to get close enough to do such.

Never a problem in my boots.
