Light Tank: Nod Scorpion Tanks can move at very high speeds on paved grounds making them excellent units for quick hit and run assaults. To prevent the lightly armored Scoripons from being targeted by GDI Rocketeers they are armed with an automatic flak cannon which can prove fatal to most airborne units.

Cost: 600
Primary: High Speed Shells
Secondary: Flak Cannon
Requires: War Factory

Voxel made by ErastusMercy.

The voxel looks great, but why does the name of this tank sound familiar?... "Scorpion, ready to sting" sound familiar? " I just wanted to point it out.

Let it be. The name is fitting for the characteristics and speed of the tank.

I think the name is fine. I like the angular shape of the tracks.

My only 'critisism' is: I hope the anti-air flaks aren't strong, and the unit will only be effective in a group versus an air target.

They're not too strong for say, I think I exaggerated the strength of them in the post a little bit. Their anti-air weapon is only effective in groups of 4+, otherwise Orca fighters and Interceptors can fly over them still hanging in there, the flak cannons are however very effective against the rocketeers, one of these could kill about 3 before it gets destroyed by the rocketeers weapon.

lol, yeah, I'm watching the crappy animations on my obsolete computer, each mission movie takes about 10 minutes to get through, so I watch as it takes 2 minutes for the camera to do a useless circle around an exploding pick-up.

There's no reason not to call something a 'Scorpion tank'. Just because Generals uses the name doesn't mean it's been monopolized, plus in Nod's case it can be placed in an entirely different context.

That tank design looks pretty nice and compact, the ridges on the barrel are a good touch. Perhaps some detail on the tracks would make them stand out a little more.

I'm seeing a large colour difference between this and the Nod heavy tank.
