== | ==Design details== | ||
The M808S Scorpion is armed with a high velocity cannon for engaging enemy vehicles and a medium machine gun for engaging enemy infantry. Scorpions in the field can be upgraded with submunition canister shells that deal heavy damage in a blast radius around their target. Unlike other variants of the M808, the M808S shows notable design differences, featuring a larger, broader turret housing its main cannon, similar to the later [[M820 Scorpion]] which succeeded the M808 in general service. | The M808S Scorpion is armed with a high velocity cannon for engaging enemy vehicles and a medium machine gun for engaging enemy infantry.

The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} carried a large complement of M808S Scorpions modified by [[Serina]] before [[2537]]. Her improvements include a more efficient armor arrangement, better situational awareness for the operator, and upgrades to the main cannon. [[Isabel]] found little room for improvement on this blueprint, but saw possibilities for specialized variants that leverage the chassis for other roles. | The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} carried a large complement of M808S Scorpions modified by [[Serina]] before [[2537]].
