Scorpion Tank vs ... other Scorpion tanks Options

[Kalga]

I just thought it will be a good idea to debate which Scorpion tank is ze best!!!

The premise would be 1v1 fight. Both baseline models and upgraded versions are acceptable.

Here's all the Scorpion tanks that I can find right now:

Scorpion tank: [Battletech] http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Scorpion_(Combat_Vehicle)
Scorpion tank: [Blacklight: Retribution] http://blacklight-wiki.perfectworld.com/in...p/Scorpion_Tank
Scorpion tank: M808B [Halo] http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/M808B_Main_Battle_Tank
Scorpion tank: AT-20 (Scorpion Mk. II) [C&C 4] http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/AT-20_Scorpion_tank
Scorpion tank: [C&C 3] http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Scorpion_tank_(Tiberium_Wars)
Scorpion tank: FV101 Scorpion [real life] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV101_Scorpion
Scorpion tank: [Generals & ZH] http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Scorpion_tank_(Generals_1)
Scorpion tank: [C&C 2013 or whatever it's called] http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Scorpion_tank_(Generals_2)

So... which Scorpion is the best of them all?

By stats...or look?

If it's look, I would go for the RL one.

No way man, just look at this beuty:

By actual capabilities... because this is turning into some kind of weird military beauty pageant... (hence the wiki links after each tank, so people can actually go and compare)

I'm not really into outdated junk

BTW, so if it's about function then Nod Scorpion tank in Cnc3 would be top choice for me.

It can become stealth, and can be upgrade with laser. Is fast and cheap.

The one in cnc 4 sure looks like a real scorpion, very ridiculous for a tank.

The total worst is the Halo one (I can't look at it without facepalming) then the CNC4 one, and the best would be the cnc3 version.

I said that the one it wons is the gla scorpion tank with two missiles and antrax.i would pick the second one the nod scorpion tank cnc3,but if we go a bit realistic,it have a glass in front that i doubt it would be able to stop a shoot

Agreed on the Halo Scorpion tank. The one time I brought a Megablocks Halo Scorpion tank I ended up ripping it apart to build a Mammoth tank (MK I, in GDI colors)...
currently I took apart the Mammoth tank to build another tank based on the Soviet Heavy tank from RA 1 (but still in GDI colors though)

As for the best one... I would also say the C&C 3 one, but only when fully upgraded.

Amen to that, I mean really, the Halo Scorpion thing is the size of a fucking house, and armed with only a 90mm cannon.

I guess I can give out several placements for the most whatever:
-most useful: GLA Scorpion
-most awesome looking: tie between RL and Gens2
-most retarded looking: TT Nod Scorpion
-most badass: Halo (because in Halo 1 it's INDESTRUCTABLE)

[Alias]

For me, it has to be Kassad's Scorpion from Shockwave, which incidentally isn't on the list.

[X1Destroy]

Unfortunately, Kassad tank in SW is called Cobra.

why this isn't in the list?

Wait, so a OPEN TO AIR COCKPIT ON A GODAMN TANK isn't stupid?

Seriously, even in-game people just F***ing snipe the cockpit and GG.

Whoever designed that thing should be it's first battlefield pilot.

Unfortunately, Kassad tank in SW is called Cobra.

Regardless of the name, it is still a Scorpion in style, just as is the ROTR variant.

Because I was being lazy and just went for all the search results I found on the 1st page of Google search results...

... and can that be still count as a tank? I don't really see a main turret there...

*looks at some of the other tanks already listed*

... um... um... forget that last thing I said.

It's more of a WWII-style tank. Fits the GLA.

To explain, in WWII alot of tanks (Especially russian ones) tended to have alot of turrets

case in point, this T-35 has 5 turrets.

Best for Combat : GLA Scorpion. I mean, it's small, able to be mass produced, and can be hidden easily. It's still got decent firepower.
Best Appearance : Gen2 Scorpion
Worst Appearance : Tie between Halo Scorpion and Tiberian Twilight Scorpion.
Most Badass : Generals 2 Scorpion. Just look at that. It looks threatening. That, coming out of a pile of scrap? Holy crap.
