SCORPION TANK
Crew: 2 (or 1 cyborg)
Weight: 66 tons
Main gun: 90mm HV (High Velocity)
Secondary/coaxial gun: 7.62mm AP-T (Armor Piercing, Tracer)
The Scorpion tank is a great offensive weapon. It has great armour (if used right), massive fire power, and great range. The downside is that it's slow, poenderous, easy to snipe, and it's a huge target for enemy rocket launchers and grenades. It is also hard to turn, and I've ran over guys on my side alot of times. I use it rarely. It can carry up to 4 people on its sides. Note: these strategies are for multiplayer.
My rating: 6 out of 10.
My opinion: this is great for running enemies over, or for blasting groups of enemy. But, it's fairly slow, a big target, and it's easy to snipe.
TACTICS
Turret turn: Face your tank in the opposite direction of where you want to fire. Then, turn the turret around. This way, you are using the tank's thick rear armour, so bullets will have no effect on the driver.
Cover fire: This is when you keep firing your machine gun (Left Trigger). It costs nothing, but keeps the enemy from zooming and sniping you. The only hard part is if one of your guys are infront of you, and you forget to turn it off. That happened to me alot.
Tank camping: this is a really cheap way of getting alot of kills. Just park your tank infront of where your enemies respawn, but not too close, or they will thrown grenades at you. Right when they respawn, aim, and fire the cannon. Then, when the cannon is reloading, fire the machine gun to make sure they're dead. Also, keep a keen eye out for enemies behind you.
| COUNTERMOVES
Against a pedestrian: Their move: the dumb ones run at you fearlessly.
Your move: fire the machine gun to keep them from zooming, and get a good aim, then fire the cannon. If they're close, run them over.
Their move: they lob a grenade at you.
Your move: if it sticks, then it's s plasma grenade. You better get out of the tank, unless you want to die. If it's a fragment or normal grenade, then drive away, and shoot them.
Against a Ghost: Their move: they tend to get behind you, fire at your turret to freeze the gun.
Your move: never let one behind you.
Against a WarthogTheir move: the smart ones run, but the dumb ones try to take you out with the chain gun on the back, which could be deadly when close.
Your move: Warthogs are easy targets, so take them out whn they are far away, because their chain gun is useless. If one does get close, jump out, throw a plasma grenade, and shoot at the guys inside. Naturally, a rocket launcher will do the trick.
Against a Scorpion Tank: Their move: shhot you with the big gun before you do.
Your move: if the terrain is hilly, duck behind a ditch, and after they fired, shoot them when their gun recharges. If the terrain isn't hilly, jump out, duck, and grenade them. A rocket launcher would come in handy.
