Op,you might update your text as a scoprion tank could go faster then that other.
Watch the Tip of the spear cutscene and you know what i'm talking about.
Saying that 120 mm>>>>>>90 mm is flawed,size of the slug isn't the only thing that matters but the SPEED is too. For all we know the 90 mm could do more damage because it might be faster but we don't know,we need more stats.
If memory serves, a sabot round breaks apart upon hitting the air, so 120mm isn't the actual meassurment of the shell itself.
A Scorpion's 90mm round is a full 90mm tungsten shell, not a sabot. Just as well, all information we have on projectile velocity suggests that it travels at significantly higher speeds then the Abram's.
Now consider targeting. A Marine's HUD is linked with that of the Scorpion, so the accuracy of players in game can be used as a basis to determine how accurate a real operator would be. Obviously the advantage of having a third person view in game must be ignored, but still.
Add onto that the auto-reload speed, and the Scorpion just strikes me as being a superior tank, and its considered a light tank.
But of course, armor plating for the Scorpion isn't as good as that of the Abrams. Still, all other facets equal or surpass it.
Wait, wait wait.
Everyone is saying the scorpian would win, but what about the m1 abraham ?
You guys act as though the tank would sit there dumb founded while getting shot at, I'm more than willing to believe that the scorpian tank wouldn't even be able to survive one hit from the M1, add to the fact that the M1 could still fire while on the move and retain its accuracy.
I could just as easily say that the M1 wins, scorpian tanks are unable to with stand the damage imposed upon them by the UNSC's own anti tank firearms, which are of course explosive shaped charges.
The M1 is capable of with standing siimilar shaped explosives from Rpg and the like. And it even takes multiple successive hits from a kinetic energy penetrator to kill an M1.
These rounds are capable of traveling at 975/ meters per second, and are made up of depleted uranium which is comparable to tungsten just cheaper.
Rpgs are capable off traveling at mach 1 and faster, but they're still not enough to destroy the M1.
The M1 can even have just as much accuracy as the scorpian.
The scorpian isn't anymore superior.
