The modern tank is faster, more heavily armoured, has a heavier gun, has more guns and is physically capable of engaging other armoured vehicles.
If you were to present the Scorpion to any modern army, they would instantly reject it. Its chassis survivability and crew survivability is somewhere between 0 and... not much more.
This based in gameplay or in canon facts?

The Javelin missile is a 127 mm missile with a Tandem HEAT warhead it would make short work of a Hunter, im sorry but 500 years regardless if there was no wars, there would still be technological advancement. You're argument is ultimately flawed, F-22 Raptors can drop precision 2000lb JDAM bombs, Cluster munitions, Cruise missiles and other weapons, and obviously Helicopters would be used as close air support against smaller ground targets and not Scarabs i doubt Covenant AAA can hit a B-2 at 50,000 ft.
God knows what Lockheed Martin and Boeing have hidden in their skunk works that could also be used to wreak havoc on the Covenant Army.
Covenant Heavy AA gun is powerful enough to keep a UNSC frigate at bay.
Anyway, sure there are advancements, but there is a MAJOR difference between 500 years spent focusing on military and 500 years spent focusing on colonization and economy.
Edit: Just something I've noticed, you seem to be just going "Modern weapons can easily destroy Covenant." without even looking at the Covenant gear. It honestly sounds like you are simply going "Modern gear is best." and not looking at anything else.
