The Scorpion MBT is a drastic downgrade from tanks such as the M1A2 Abrams. The Scorpion is a great concept but not very effective, against a modern tank. For one thing...range. The Abrams can kill a target up to a maximum range of 2,500 meters(8,200 ft). It's a sniper rifle on tracks. I don't know the maximum range of the Scorpion so I can't say which is better in that department. Ammunition capacity:In the game you're able to send unlimited rounds down range but if you were to eliminate the game element I'd say that the M808B holds about eight 90mm rounds, 4 on each side of the loading block. Once the tank goes winchester it's all over. The Abrams holds twice that many rounds. A key problem with an auto-loading mechanism is the huge possibility of jamming. The advantage of manual loading is that if the round misfires the loader can just pull it out of the breach and re-insert the round. You can't exactly get out of your tank in the middle of a battle to fix it now can you. The Scorpion has one 7.62mm machine gun. The Abrams has three machine guns. One .50 CAL, two 7.62mm's, and the option to mount a forth machine gun. Now, armor plating...The Scorpion is encased in Ceramic-Titanium Armor. Impressive ain't it. But I can bet that at least two of these could melt right through that thing. The Scorpion has a great track design
Are you high? Weapons no longer "jam" in the future, that would be true in any universe. The Scorpion has a up to 3 turrets, two main auto turret .50 cal's on the turret and one manned 7.62 below the main gun. An advantage to the Scorpion, it fires at a rate of a round every 3 seconds, which an Abrams takes from 6-9, A Scorpion could easily have planted 2 or more shots before the abrams can take another shot, HEAT rounds would simply destroy the Abrams.Doubtful, the Abrams has a few countermeasures that I'm not at liberty to mention for obvious reasons. Believe me, if I could pit the two tanks against each other I would gladly do so. "weapons no longer jam in the future"? If only that happened today. Also, please tell me where it says the Scorpion has 3 turrets. As far as I'm concerned... The Scorpion has one turret.The Scorpion is equipped with two weapon systems. The 90mm High Velocity Cannon - the M808B's main weapon - fires 90mm Tungsten Armor Piercing Ballistic Capped Rounds at a high velocity, with a three-to-four-second delay between each round. The secondary weapon system is the M247T 7.62mm AP-T Medium Machine Gun, used for engaging infantry. The 90mm cannon, although the standard weapon on the M808, could be considered "light", compared to the 105mm cannon that can be mounted for greater offensive power[8]. Along with its weapons system the Scorpion is equipped with anti-mine detecting software and electronics to help increase safety while in use.
Look at the Reach Scorpion, Has 2 7.62 turrets, one manned, and one parallel to the main cannon, According to Canon, there are 3 turrets, one on each side of the cannon and one manned.Ah, I see it. Okay, there's two turrets. One machine gun turret and one main turret.
Exactly what I meant, although in Canon, you see the small machine gun on the turret on the right? There is one on the left as well but was left out for some reason, it was involved in Canon but I'm not sure why Bungie does these things.
