:*In H3, the tank undergoes significant design changes, namely the coaxial machine gun is detached from the cannon's body and that the pilot no longer has control of it. This tank was only referred to as the Scorpion, without any formal title.

:*H:R uses the same tank design used in H3, but refers vehicle as the M808. This leads to the presumption that the tank with a detached weapon system is the M808 while those with a combined weapon system is the M808B.

:''How about the Encyclopedia?'', you might ask. Well, the Encyclopaedia, riddled with errors as it always has, labelled the H3 tank as the M808B. However, it is clear from these analyses from each game that there is a M808 model and a M808B model. Thus, it is suggested that two articles of the tank to be created, the first being the M808 Scorpion (HCE, H2, HW) and the second being M808B Scorpion (H3, H3R and HR). @Xamikaze330: This is the potential canon problem. :P  — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 07:35, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

The only potential reason I can think of this being is that it's a pure graphical and/or gameplay difference. It's been done many times in the past with little disregard for major changes. However, i'm more inclined to think that the H1/H2/HW ''Scorpion'' is an older model while the H3/ODST/Reach variants are a newer variant. Possibly using the "Mark" system used by various other systems. And before someone says anything about regional differences, there are still frontline U.S. Army and Marine Corps, Canadian Army, etc. units that use the older version of tanks (M1A1 Abrams and Leopard I, respectively) in-conjunction with newer ones. {{User:CommanderTony/Sig|June 11th, 2011}}
