* Like with the M808C, another popular tactic with the M820 is to use a "[[wikipedia:hull-down|hull-down]]" position. The tactic essentially requires the tank to be positioned such that its hull (the main part of the vehicle) is behind a crest or other raised ground, but its turret (or a superstructure or roof-mounted weapon) is exposed. | * Like with the M808C, another popular tactic with the M820 is to use a "[[wikipedia:hull-down|hull-down]]" position.

* Equipped with a powerful gun, the Scorpion can easily take out any aircraft it lays its eyes on. A way to counter this is to position your aircraft directly above the tank where its "blind spot" is. Then lower the aircraft on top of the tank keeping sure that you're still in its blind spot. Then, get out of the aircraft and jump on it and stick it with a grenade effectively destroying the tank. This tactic is primarily for use by the [[AV-49 Wasp|Wasp]] and [[Z-1800 Phaeton|Phaeton]] with them being the only two vehicles in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' with VTOL technology. This tactic can still be employed with the [[Type-54 Banshee|Banshee]], but with a less effective outcome. | * Equipped with a powerful gun, the Scorpion can easily take out any aircraft it lays its eyes on.
