M808B Scorpion: Difference between revisions

The M808B is not without its weaknesses, though. The main cannon on the tank must be reloaded after every shot and takes between three to four seconds, which may give the enemy enough time to react against the tank. Its deep dead-zone, or the area within which fire from the tank's guns cannot hit targets, puts the vehicle at risk from enemy anti-tank infantry. Although the Scorpion can carry up to four passengers, any Marines sitting on the tread covers of the Scorpion are vulnerable to small-arms fire, and any explosions near the tank can kill all personnel riding on the treads. The Scorpion's slow speed also puts it at a disadvantage, as other more nimble vehicles like the [[Ghost]] can out-maneuver the tank and get within its dead-zone.The Scorpion also, albeit only in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''''' '''the tanks canopy on line is made of bars rather than solid, as in the campaign.This allows even a par sniper to shoot the driver, especially when not in motion.'''
