Review

The M56 Scorpion is lightweight and small in size, as it was developed specifically for the airborne troops.

The main advantage of self-propelled guns is a 90-mm gun with excellent performance. Excellent accuracy and armor penetration allow you to cope with the armor of any enemy, including the level above.

Good horizontal and vertical aiming, as well as low visibility increase the comfort of the game and partially compensate for the lack of armor protection.

As mentioned above, there is no armor at all (with the exception of the 5 mm thick gun shield), but on the other hand, there are compact dimensions, high visibility and a good gun depression angle.

In terms of playstyle, the M56 Scorpion is an ambush tank destroyer with good stealth and a well-balanced gun in all respects.

History reference

M56 Scorpion was created in 1948-1953 and mass-produced from 1953 to 1959 as part of an order for a new mobile self-propelled anti-tank gun, which could be dropped from a parachute in the initial stages of an army landing operation and having firepower like a tank gun.

Two samples were built. In 1953, these machines entered military trials. In 1955, the M56, also referred to as the Scorpion, was adopted by the US Army. The M56 could be transported next to the then transport aircraft and gliders, as well as parachuted.

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

Characteristics

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

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

The M56 Scorpion is a tier 7 American premium vehicle with a partial rotation turret. The total angle of rotation of the turret is 60 degrees, which is a plus, while this one rotates rather slowly and sometimes it is easier to tighten the tank's hull, since time allows.

As for the crew, the Scorpion has four people:

• Commander (radio operator).
• Gunner.
• Driver mechanic.
• Charging.

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

Booking

One of the features of the tank is the circular armor of the hull with a thickness of 1 mm. The most protected area is, of course, the tower with 5 mm of armor. Tanking enemy shots, respectively, will not work, since the vehicle takes into itself all enemy shells without exception. Of course, it is possible that sometimes it will not penetrate the armor of our tank. However, if high-explosive projectile large caliber, then it should be especially afraid. After all, even if he falls nearby, he is capable of causing 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 is very noticeable when you find yourself at the bottom of the list, where you will find yourself quite often.

How to play

The most effective on this PT is to play from distance and disguise. At M56 "Scorpio" good performance camouflage 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 unnoticed for a long time, even playing against the ninth levels. In this case, you need to be careful and keep a safe distance from the enemy. At long distances, hitting the Scorpion is much more difficult, especially if you play from the terrain. The small size and good gun depression angles make it quite comfortable to shoot at the enemy at long distances. Spoils all sniper ambitions in the M56 "Scorpion" view of 350 meters. It can be called normal with a stretch, it is necessary to carry a stereo tube with you.

By mobility

In the absence of armor, the weight of the tank is a little more than seven tons, in total with an engine power of 200 hp. With. it turns out the PT briskly starts from a place and spins at one point, too, quite well. Disappointing specific speed, which is 45 km / h, there is a feeling that someone is holding the tank. And it also upsets the reverse at 17 km / h, after the shot it is hard to roll back into cover.

About the gun

Gorgeous armor penetration for the seventh level, the main projectile 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 inflicting damage , hitting the tracks or screens of the tank. The gun has excellent vertical aiming angles, dropping by -10 and rising to +15. An accuracy of 0.33 allows you to shoot fairly accurately at long distances. Scattering from the movement of the chassis greatly limits the game, it is almost impossible to shoot on the move. For accurate shooting, you need to stop. The main drawback of the gun is expressed in its rate of fire. With a one-time damage to the 240th gun in stock, it takes 7.8 seconds to reload. According to DPM, the tank loses to some level 7 tank destroyers by about 400 damage.

Ammunition 60 pcs. It is worth equipping mainly with AP shells, you should take 10 for heavily armored opponents and a couple of high explosives to shoot down the capture.

Additional equipment and gear

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

On M56 "Scorpion" it is necessary to install:

1. Stereo tube - this will increase the view when stationary. Putting enlightened optics does not make sense because of the standing gameplay.

2. gun rammer- Reduces gun reload time.

3. Camouflage net - will increase stealth when stationary.

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

Conclusion

The result is a well-balanced inexpensive premium vehicle at the seventh level, which copes well with the main task - farming silver. Due to good breakdown in combat, gold is rarely used, and hence the good indicators of silver with an average damage dealt. Approximately 40-50 thousand per battle, the M56 "Scorpion" will take out.
