Is using 40k Orc English more important to you than playing in this RP? Ball is in your court on this.

And like I said, you can have a live mount. I'm just trying to make sure you understand the cons of that. Frankly, I would seriously not want to fight an armored elephant IRL, so I'm not trying to say that a large, armored mount wouldn't be dangerous. Like I even said earlier, you'd be gaining in close-combat effectiveness what you'd be losing in speed. The challenge is getting to close combat in a vehicle situation when you're on a meat-based mount and you're against faster people with guns. It's easier to replace a ruined chunk of a vehicle than it is to patch up a bear that took a cannonball to the side, after all.
