It doesn't use titanium A battle plate.
It's titanium ceramic.....
Have you not read the entire thread ?
Non the less it's still some hard -blam!-, it can take a wraith shot...
That Plasma shot must at least reach 5000 degress c... If not more.
It also has to deal with other covie weapons, such as plasma pistols/rifles ect. As well as ghosts and banshees...
You would think that because of this, the armour of a scorpion would be very strong against heat...
Now correct me if i'm wrong but don't some modden day tank shells also use heat to melt away the armour of an enamy tank??? An rpg for example uses molten copper to slice away at armour... And that doesn't even hit 2000 Degrees c...
So if a scorpion can take fuel rods and wraith shots and still go on. I have no doubt that it can survive a hit from the main cannon of an abrams...
And i bet you in hell that a challenger 2 or abrams couldn't even take a fuel rod hit. Let alone a wraith shot.
WTF ??
Ok your facts need to be corrected, some of those rounds that use molten copper are SHAPED explosives, which eject the needle thin molten jet of copper at extreme velocities, frying everything inside the tank, and the m1 abrahams is designed to withstand direct impacts from the rounds, kinetic energy penetration, and RPgs.
And rpgs travel at mach 1 and faster, all that kinetic energy as well as the shaped charge is devastating and yet the m1 is virtually imperious to it.
You absolutely cannot compare those rounds to the goubles of plasma used by Wraith tanks.
think about this, what would penetrate skin better a needle or a baseball ?
And I am damned sure they would be able to tank a hit from a single fuel rod and more.
The main turret of the scorpion tank is far too exposed, too tall, the cockpit is exposed to enemy fire, a single well aimed shell would be more than enough to take care of the tank. Tank gunners are trained to fire directly at the central mass of a tank, guess where that is....
This. The scorpions profile is to large. The Abrams tanks profile is much smaller. The scorpion is a big target which make its extremely easy to hit, including its turret which is basically out in the middle of nowhere.
