Mammoth Heavy Tank
Twin cannons, massive armor. Slow, but it arrives like a verdict.

The Mammoth is the Tier-3 heavy tank, available once a Radar Station stands next to an Advanced War Factory. Twin cannons, enormous hit points and a price to match: it arrives slowly and ends arguments.
How to use
A pair of Mammoths at the head of a column lets everything behind them fight uncontested. Use them to break turret lines and absorb the enemy's first volley while Bisons and tank destroyers deal the damage. Like the Bison it carries a 12.7 mm machine gun on the turret roof that fires at helicopters and Hornets within 4.5 tiles while the cannons stay on their target; it never touches jets or bombers, so the column still needs anti-air. They are slow and expensive to replace, so bring repair: a Repair Tower near the staging point, since an Engineer mends only buildings.
Anecdotes
The heaviest tank ever built, the German Panzer VIII Maus, weighed 188 tonnes, more than almost any bridge would take, so it was designed to cross rivers along the bottom, breathing through a snorkel. Two were finished. Neither fought.
