Everyone appreciates the time of day and welcome to the site! Today we will talk about a new vehicle that should soon go on sale, a premium German tank destroyer of the eighth level and this is the Rheinmetall Skorpion guide.

We already have one scorpion in the game, this is the American tank of the seventh level M56 Scorpion, but these vehicles have practically nothing in common and looking ahead I will say that the German promises to be a very strong machine. Now we will analyze Rhm in detail. Skorpion characteristics and you can form your own opinion about this unit.

Performance characteristics of Rheinmetall Skorpion G

To begin with, we have a small margin of safety, even by the standards of our classmates, and far from the best basic overview, as for a level eight PT.

In terms of survivability, the tank does not stand out with any good parameters; the Rheinmetall Skorpion TTX armor is very weak. As you can see on the collage model, the thickest place is the forehead of the hull. However, even here the armor is so weak that it is almost impossible to catch a ricochet. The most harmless guns are killing us, and land mines are 99% likely to cause full damage. In addition, we have a rather large silhouette and they will easily penetrate us into any projection, that is, we need to play with extreme caution.

But the mobility characteristics are very pleasing, because Rhm. Skorpion WoT has excellent maximum speed and good power density, which makes this car very mobile and dynamic. Perhaps the chassis turning speed will be somewhat lacking, but the presence of a turret compensates for this.

By the way, to make it easier for you, the dimensions of the Rheinmetall Skorpion tank can be compared with the Jagdpanther II, which means its camouflage coefficient will be approximately the same.

gun

Another strong point of the vehicle, in addition to mobility, can be called weapons. We have on board exactly the same cannon as the Jagdpanther II or the Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger, the only difference is in the rate of fire parameters.

So, the Rheinmetall Skorpion G gun has excellent one-time damage and very good armor penetration performance with a basic projectile, especially considering that we have a premium vehicle in our hands. We easily penetrate almost everyone, but since we were not given a preferential level of battles, it is better to carry about 10 gold shells with us for especially thick tens.

The rate of fire of our gun is also decent, thanks to which the DPM is approximately 2410 units, not a record figure for a tank destroyer, but quite impressive.

In terms of accuracy, everything is good again. German tank Rhm. Skorpion World of Tanks is endowed with good dispersion, comfortable aiming time, and even stabilization is fine.

Another very important point is that the Rheinmetall Skorpion tank destroyer does not have very good gun declination angles, and if you aim at the enemy while facing him with the stern, the tilt degree is reduced to -3. But there is also a bright side to the coin, there is no discomfort with horizontal aiming angles, because we were equipped with a turret that rotates 360 degrees.

Advantages and disadvantages

As you can see, the car really promises to be not only interesting, but also really strong, so even in a battle against tenth levels, you will not feel deprived. To make it easier for you to navigate the strengths and weaknesses of Rhm. Skorpion WoT, let's break them down point by point.
Pros:
Excellent mobility and dynamics;
Powerful alphastrike;
High armor penetration rates;
The presence of a rotating tower.
Minuses:
Lack of armor;
Poor review;
Not very comfortable UVNs;
Full level of combat.

Equipment for Rhm. Skorpion

In order to make the game more comfortable on this German, it is important for us to improve the damage dealt per minute, because this parameter is one of the most important in our car and to increase accuracy. Thus, the following equipment is installed on Rheinmetall Skorpion:
1. – the very module that will give the best boost to DPM is vital for us.
2. is another great option that allows for increased accuracy through faster convergence.
3. - although we have a good overview, it wouldn’t hurt to increase it; for a moving unit, this choice is just right.

If you prefer to play passively, and prefer to fire from the bushes on the third or fourth line rather than maneuver and frequently change positions, you can take . This module will further challenge our mediocre vision, but only works when you are not moving, so it dictates your playstyle.

Crew training

We have 4 crew members at our disposal and choosing a skill for each of them is a very important moment. If you make a mistake once, you will have to spend a lot of time and effort on retraining. To prevent this from happening, we will now look at which perks are best to learn with Rheinmetall Skorpion:
Commander (loader) – , , , .
Gunner – , , , .
Driver mechanic - , , , .
Radio operator - , , , .

Equipment for Rheinmetall Skorpion

The situation with consumables is standard. We have a premium car at our disposal, and if you want to use it purely for farming, and you don’t have a large supply of silver, you can carry , , . But a more reliable choice that will save you more than once would be to take Rheinmetall Skorpion equipment in the form , , , where the last option can be replaced by .

Rhm game tactics. Skorpion G

The main thing to remember when playing with this unit is that it is completely devoid of armor. Otherwise, we have excellent weapons, excellent mobility, a rotating turret, etc., all advantages must be taken advantage of.

Thus, on the Rheinmetall Skorpion the battle tactic is to stick to the second line. You can be the first to arrive at a position, take the most advantageous place and fire at the enemy even at the stage of his travel.

However, do not forget that it is dangerous to move forward too much on the Rhm .Skorpion WoT tank destroyer and it is advisable to take a position so that you are exposed to light as little as possible, can hide or drive away in case of danger, and artillery cannot attack you.

At the same time, never stand in one place for too long. Rheinmetall Skorpion tank World of Tanks is capable of moving very quickly, changing flanks and attack directions. As soon as your position has lost its relevance or, looking at the map, you see that help is needed somewhere, you should not hesitate; the outcome of the battle may well depend on your actions.

As for the question “Is Rheinmetall Skorpion worth buying or not?” I would say it’s worth it, since this tank destroyer is practically in no way inferior to regular vehicles of its level, for a premium this is a very powerful argument.

Hello to all fans Games World of Tanks! Now we'll talk about a truly unique car, you will not find another like it anywhere, because its analogues do not exist in our game - this is the M56 Scorpion guide.

Of course, this unit is no longer considered new and everyone probably knows that this is a premium American tank destroyer of the seventh level. You won’t be able to just buy an M56 Scorpion tank; it is sold quite rarely and only through the premium store on the Wargaming website, so keep an eye on the news and you might get lucky.

TTX M56 Scorpion

So, let's move on to considering the performance characteristics of this machine and talk about why it is so unique. Probably everyone noticed from the screenshot that the M56 Scorpion simply does not have armor characteristics. One millimeter of armor is nothing, even Tier 1 tanks will be thicker. All this means that we are being penetrated by all and sundry, landmines cause full damage, and probably even a stick can cause a lot of trouble. M56 Scorpion tank destroyer.

But with mobility everything is more than good. We weigh very little and with such a mass, the engine power is simply off the charts. This American has 28 horsepower per ton of weight, such incredible figures enable the M56 Scorpion WoT to take off sharply from a standstill, reach its maximum speed in a matter of seconds, overcome many obstacles and climb into hard-to-reach places. True, our maximum speed was reduced, but this does not interfere much.

Otherwise, the vehicle has the standard safety margin for most Tier 7 tank destroyers, but the M56 Scorpion review It's too small and will need to be raised. By the way, we do not have a preferential level of battles, but this is not a problem, you will understand why later.

gun

It's time to talk about weapons, and these options are mostly good. The M56 Scorpion gun has excellent armor penetration performance. We easily fight even against the ninth levels, and if someone tough is in the crosshairs, a magnificent golda solves all issues.

With accuracy, everything is also in perfect order, good dispersion and excellent mixing time, everything we need. True, the wheelhouse of the M56 Scorpio World of Tanks does not rotate completely, but only 30 degrees to the left or right, and very slowly, but in patch 0.9.15 the vehicle’s stabilization from turning the wheelhouse was significantly improved. By the way, the barrel goes down by as much as 10 degrees, which is also a nice nuance.

The only weak point in the weaponry is the one-time damage, which is lower than that of other tank destroyers of its classmates and a very low DPM, only 1700 damage per minute.

Advantages and disadvantages

Highlight the strengths and weak sides with the M56 Scorpion WoT will not be difficult, everything is in full view, extremely clear and understandable, however, we will break everything down.

Pros:
Comfortable, accurate weapon;
Excellent vertical aiming angles;
Excellent armor penetration parameters;
High mobility and amazing dynamics;
Very small dimensions;
High stealth factor (we barely shine);
High farmer potential.

Minuses:
Complete lack of armor;
Poor review;
Low damage per minute and alpha strike;
Not a preferential level of fighting.

Equipment for M56 Scorpion

To be honest, choosing equipment on the M56 Scorpion is both easy and difficult. On the one hand, the choice is not that great, but on the other, it’s not very clear what to install here.

Since our DPM leaves much to be desired, this option is not even discussed.
- here, too, everything is simple, we compensate for the poor visibility, and looking ahead a little, the “horns” are perfect for the style of play on this machine.
- if you remember our wonderful camouflage, then the choice suggests itself.
There aren't really any other options here. You, of course, can put , but the M56 Scorpio WoT is reduced quite quickly, so the three points above can be considered optimal.

Crew training

Here the situation is somewhat simpler; the crew should upgrade perks to the M56 Scorpion with the intention of maximizing the lack of visibility, further increasing stealth and giving an increase to other important parameters to make the game even more comfortable.

Loader - , , , .

Equipment for M56 Scorpion

Selection of consumables in in this case represents the most standard option: , , . However, if you are worried about your fate in battle and want to feel more confident, you can equip the M56 Scorpion with the following equipment: , , . By the way, in both cases it is highly preferable to replace the last option with , which will give a good boost to the characteristics, but will lead to increased costs.

Tactics for playing the M56 Scorpion

Since the hull armor of the M56 Scorpion tank is completely absent, while we have a penetrating gun with good accuracy, good elevation angles, small dimensions and excellent stealth, God himself told us to play from the second line.

The main rule of this tank destroyer, no matter how trivial it may sound, is to stand in the bushes and shoot at the light of your allies or your own. There can be no talk of any aggression; the very first landmine will cool your ardor and forever explain the error of such behavior.

Thus, on the M56 Scorpion, combat tactics are simple to the point of disgrace. Take a good place and shoot damage, from here the farm will be good and you will spoil the life of the enemy pretty much, horns and a camouflage net will help you. However, this is not all, because all the benefits must be realized. You shouldn’t sit in one bush for the entire battle; if you are exposed or the position has exhausted its relevance, do not hesitate to use your excellent mobility and move. The same applies to the situation when your direction is pushed through and the enemy is already close, pick the moment and get out of there.

In especially difficult situations, when you are caught by surprise and there is no way to hide, try to play with the terrain, use your vertical aiming angles and small size, leaning out, firing a shot and rolling back, hitting the M56 Scorpio World of Tanks is not so easy a chance to get out from the alteration alive increases.

The guide will be based on personal impressions. On this moment, according to unofficial statistics, this PT is owned by 59,000 people. Which is quite small, even though the tank has promotional status. At the same time, according to the same statistics, the M56 Scorpion tank in World of Tanks is in 6th place in terms of victory percentage among all level seven anti-tank self-propelled guns, that is, it cannot be called a bad vehicle.

Characteristics

Now it’s worth briefly touching on the list of characteristics of the tank presented above:

• Durability: 820 HP.
• Specific power: 28 hp/t.
• Maximum speed: forward 45 km/h and 17 km/h reverse.
• Chassis turning speed: 40 degrees/s.
• Armor penetration: 219/275/45 mm.
• Damage: 240/240/320 Hp.
• Damage per minute: 1920 HP/min.
• Ammunition: 60 pcs.

M56 "Scorpion" is an American premium vehicle of the seventh level, which has a turret with incomplete rotation. The total angle of rotation of the turret is 60 degrees, which is a plus, while it rotates quite slowly and sometimes it’s easier to tighten the tank’s hull, fortunately time allows.

As for the crew, the Scorpion consists of four people:

• Commander (Radio Operator).
• Gunner.
• Driver mechanic.
• Charging.

Unfortunately, this fact can cause some difficulties when upgrading the crew on this tank, since many upgraded tank destroyers have a second loader and radio operator, which makes this matter much easier.

Booking

One of the features of the tank is the 1 mm thick circular hull armor. The most protected area is, of course, the tower with 5 mm of armor. Accordingly, it will not be possible to tank enemy shots, since the vehicle absorbs all enemy shells without exception. Of course, it is possible that sometimes it will not penetrate the armor of our tank. However, if the high-explosive projectile is of large caliber, then you should be especially afraid of it. After all, even if it falls nearby, it can cause serious damage. Also, due to the small dimensions of the tank, along with ordinary damage, critical damage to the crew and internal modules will often be received. This will be very noticeable when you find yourself at the bottom of the list, where you will end up quite often.

How to play

The most effective thing at this PT is to play from distance and disguise. The M56 "Scorpion" has good camouflage performance at the level, which can be further enhanced with a camouflage net and camouflage. This will allow you to play quite effectively from the bushes, remaining undetected for a long time, even when playing against levels nine. In this case, you need to be careful and keep a safe distance from the enemy. At a greater distance, it is much more difficult to hit Scorpio, especially if you play from the terrain. The small size and good depression angles of the gun make it quite comfortable to shoot at the enemy at long distances. The visibility of 350 meters spoils all sniper ambitions in the M56 "Scorpion". It’s a stretch to call it normal; you definitely need to carry a stereo tube with you.

By mobility

Without armor, the weight of the tank is slightly more than seven tons, combined with an engine power of 200 hp. With. It turns out that the PT starts briskly from a standstill and spins at one point quite well too. The specific speed, which is 45 km/h, is upsetting; it feels like someone is holding a tank. And it's also upsetting reverse at 17 km/h, after a shot it’s hard to roll back to cover.

About the weapon

Excellent armor penetration for the seventh level, the main shell allows you to penetrate even “nines”, but if penetration is not enough, then gold shells with a penetration of 275 come to the rescue. Gold shells here are cumulative, which is not very good, since they are not capable of causing damage , hitting the tracks or screens of the tank. The gun has excellent vertical aiming angles, dropping to -10 and rising to +15. The accuracy of 0.33 allows for fairly accurate shooting over long distances. The scatter caused by the movement of the chassis greatly limits the game; it is almost impossible to shoot on the move. To shoot accurately, you need to stop. The main drawback of the gun is its rate of fire. With a one-time damage of 240, the stock gun takes 7.8 seconds to reload. According to DPM, the tank loses to some level seven tanks by about 400 damage.

Ammunition 60 pcs. It is worth equipping it mainly with AP shells; you should take 10 for heavily armored opponents and a couple of land mines to shoot down a grapple.

Additional equipment and gear

The equipment of this tank is standard: a first aid kit, a repair kit and, of course, a fire extinguisher.

On the M56 Scorpio it is necessary to install:

1. Stereo tube - this will increase your visibility when stationary. It makes no sense to install coated optics because of the standstill gameplay.

2. Gun rammer - will reduce the reload time of the gun.

3. Camouflage net - will increase stealth while stationary.

Also, to increase camouflage, camouflage should be applied to the tank.

Conclusion

The result is a well-balanced, inexpensive premium car at level seven, which copes well with the main task - farming silver. Thanks to its good penetration in battle, gold is rarely used, and hence the good performance of silver with average damage dealt. Approximately 40-50 thousand per battle will be taken out by the M56 Scorpion.

This is a German anti-tank self-propelled gun artillery installation VIII level.

On this page there is a small guide for Rheinmetall Skorpion g. At the moment, one of the best premium tanks, and tank destroyers at its level. It appeared in the game relatively recently and immediately aroused considerable interest among tankers. The vehicle is very similar to its pumpable counterpart - the Rheinmetall-Borsig Waffentrager with a standard gun, but has its own unique features.

7 reasons to buy Rheinmetall Skorpion G:

1. Unique camouflage.
2. The alpha strike of the installed gun is 490 units per shot, penetration by 246 mm armor-piercing shells and 311 mm sub-caliber shells.
3. Excellent accuracy, dispersion per 100 meters is 0.3 and aiming time is 2.1 seconds (about 5 rounds per minute).
4. Good specific power - 17 hp. per ton.
5. A tower that helps in battle on different maps.
6. Ideal profitability - you can earn up to 100,000 credits per battle.
7. Not a bad speed - up to 60 km/h forward and 20 km/h back.

The vertical aiming angles on the Scorpio are not the best, 7 degrees down. There is no point in talking about armor, just a couple of facts - maximum armor is 30 mm. On this technique we are a classic landmine receiver. The disadvantage is also the visibility, 360 meters, but you can increase this value by training the crew, using optics and handing a bar of dark chocolate to your guys, or girls.

Pros:

+ good power density, good speed;
+ a weapon with good armor penetration and one-time damage;
+ good accuracy;
+ armored cabin with full rotation;
+ All-season camouflage set by default.

Minuses:

- lack of armor as such;
- open armored cabin;
- mediocre rate of fire;
- mediocre ammunition size;
- mediocre UVN;
- disgusting agility of the tower and the ship itself;
- large size and high visibility;
- mediocre gun stabilization.

Rheinmetall Skorpion g is a farm tank that any World of Tanks player can master.

Good luck on the battlefields!

We recently told you about a wonderful and much-desired tank, the Object 252U Defender. This time the purpose of the review will be an equally popular vehicle among all Tier VIII premiums, we are, of course, talking about the Rheinmetall Skorpion G.

This unit has won the hearts of many World of Tanks players, and has remained among the favorites for some time now. Unlike , it does not have a nice and uniform ratio of parameters.

It is appropriate to say that two points of its performance characteristics, namely weapon and mobility, cover one big drawback - booking. Let's talk about each parameter in detail.

General information

Skorpion G– German Tier VIII tank destroyer with a rotating turret, or, as it would be more correct to say, a carriage. The vehicle is built on the basis of the Panther medium tank and has all its components and assemblies. Instead of a turret, as mentioned earlier, a carriage with a 128 mm gun, known to everyone as Maus-gun, was installed, rotating 360 degrees. The machine is equipped full level of battles, so we will often have to deal with 10s.

Firepower

The tank was not built in metal, but according to the plan, it was supposed to be equipped with a 128 mm Kanone 43 L/55 gun, which is also installed on such vehicles as the Jagdpanther II, Ferdinand and Maus.

Armor penetration, as for level 8, is very good. In the fight against 9s and 10s, we should carefully target vulnerable spots, since accuracy allows us to do this. Reload at level, but the mixing time may not seem fast enough for some. In general, Scorpio’s weapon sets the temperature and there are unlikely to be any ardent opponents of it.

Dynamics and agility

The PT-shki has no problems with dynamics; the overclocking ability, along with maximum speed, both forward and backward, on top level . It won’t be difficult to take a position first or roll back from under fire in time.

The only thing that can cause indignation is the rotation of the chassis. Spinning around in place is not a favorite activity for this tank. During all the time that Skorpion G has been surfing the expanses of random, there has generally been no noticeable hype about his mobility, so there is no need to worry.

Booking

If you think that the Panther’s base means the armor is like hers, then you are mistaken. Upper armor plate significantly weaker than that of a medium tank and the enemies don’t care what the slope is. Even levels VI will break through us.

There is no point in talking about the tower, since it is absolute cardboard, and from the stern it’s basically zero, even if you throw stones, the damage will still occur in this case. Based on the security indicators, the obvious conclusion is that you should play carefully and definitely not in the first line.

Other characteristics

Car does not have a safety margin, so wasting HP is not recommended. The review, it would seem, should be German, namely in the region of 390-400, but no. The developers made the PT-shku blind, so the stereo tube will be very useful. Communication range is not allocated compared to other Tier VIII tanks.

Combat tactics

Accurate and penetrating weapon they clearly tell us about the game from the second, or even third line. Mobility will play into our hands in the event of changing/taking a position or quickly retreating from a flank broken through by the enemy.

The tank's armor is one of the weakest at their level, so you shouldn’t rush in with the main allied strike group. There is a high probability that it will be you who will be the focus. Use disguise, and also do not forget about presence of a rotating tower.
