My friends, the M-56 Scorpion "tank".
http://data4.primeportal.net/artille...n_48_of_64.jpg https://tankandafvnews.files.wordpre...3/101_1284.jpg I've been playing Warthunder and just unlocked this very odd American tank and all I could think of is how much it looks like something out of GIJoe. They could even take the tracks off and drive it on those large wheels. |

It's not really a tank... more of a anti-tank gun on treads to make it more mobile. A subtle but important distinction.

From what I was reading it was ment to be brought in with Paratroopers to give them a light mobile anti-tank capability. It's an interesting little tank, makes me think twice now about ridiculing some GIJoe vehicles for being "unrealistic".

Officially it was an "air mobile self-propelled anti-tank gun".
Not a "tank". However, there are still some GI Joe vehicles that are more "unrealistic". |
