Well we can agree that the Abrams would indeed destroy a Scorpion, a 120mm slug is just too much for that of the Scorpion but that doesn't mean the Future is weaker, let's pit the M1A Abrams against two other known tanks.
The Grizzly(Upgraded Scorpion Tank)
M-145D Rhino
Both would gut the M1A Abrams with ease, The Scorpion isn't the best thing we got, we have better. Let us put the stats shall we?
The Grizzly, known for the upgraded version of the Scorpion is the M1A Abrams on steriods, the M1A is known for having a 120mm main gun, while the Scorpion has the 90mm cannon, but the Grizzy has TWO 120mm turrets, with a faster firing rate than that of the Scorpion model which were both faster than the Abrams. Say bye to the Abrams.
Next is the M-145D Rhino, a staionary tank that could shoot a 320mm Plasma bolt, it would vaporize the M1A Abrams in a single shot.
Add to the fact they both have a hull made of Heavy Duty Ceramic-Titanium Armor, they could withstand several Abrams shots.
So to those who think modern technology could match the 2552, you have a long way to go my friend.
Try to prove this wrong.
