Scorpio tank destroyer level 8 guide. Rheinmetall Skorpion G review – One of the best

This is a German Tier VIII anti-tank self-propelled artillery unit.

On this page there is a small guide for Rheinmetall Skorpion g. On this moment one of the best premium tanks, and a tank destroyer 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 elevation 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!

Hello, tankers!

World of Tanks has many premium tanks to earn silver, but not all of them are fun to play. All because of the developers’ policy, according to which purchased tanks should not be better than their pumped-up counterparts. But this rule does not apply to Skorpion G!

Historical reference

In parallel with the development of the new Panther medium tank, German designers studied options for installing various artillery systems on its chassis, since the platform had exhausted itself.

In the winter of 1942, the designers were tasked with designing a self-propelled gun using various components and components of the new Panther tank. Fried.Krupp AG in Essen and Rheinmetall Borsig from Düsseldorf were working on the projects simultaneously.

In April 1943, Rheinmetall presented several projects for a new self-propelled gun, one of which was the 12.8 cm Skorpion (Panther Bauteilen) and s.F.H.43 Sfl. mit Panther-Bauteilen.

At the end of 1944, due to a shortage in the production of Panther tanks, the German command abandoned the self-propelled guns based on them in favor of a cheaper, simpler and more widespread chassis light tank PzKpfw 38(t).

Armor

No armor. At all. Our hull is from the ST level VII - Panther. There is 10 mm of armor in the wheelhouse, and 30 mm in the hull, albeit at an angle. At the level of fighting where our self-propelled gun falls, it will be penetrated even by landmines.

Our tank destroyer has an impressive size, which makes it an easy target. Among all the tanks in the crossfire, they will most often choose you.

Skorpion G has 1150 hit points, which is the average for all tank destroyers at tier VIII. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful and not get caught by the enemy.

Armament

The armament is the highlight of the Skorpion G. 12.8 cm Kanone 43 L/55! Before this machine was introduced into the game, the maximum penetration at level VIII among premium The equipment was 226 mm for the British ST FV4202 (P). All other “premiums” have a much lower breakout. The one-time damage of 400 units on the American T34 was also the greatest. With us penetration 246 mm And one-time damage of 490 units. Only upgraded vehicles from the German branch have such indicators - JagdPantherII, Ferdinand and Rhm.Borsig-Waffentrager, equipped with a similar weapon. In addition to incredible damage and penetration, we also have excellent accuracy of 0.3 m at 100 m and an excellent aiming time of 2.1 s. Based on the totality of its characteristics, this weapon is one of the three best at level VIII among all equipment.

The main type of projectile is AP with a penetration of 246 mm, good modular damage and excellent normalization. Difficulties in breaking through can only arise at level X, and even then not always. If penetration is not enough, you can stock up on premium armor-piercing sub-caliber (AP) shells with 311 mm penetration, which have a high flight speed. You have to pay with worse normalization and a decrease in armor penetration indicators with distance. There are also land mines with a one-time damage of 630 and 65 mm penetration. They can finish off a shot enemy, break a capture, or cause irreparable damage to vehicles with weak armor.

Sometimes our gun gets capricious and can put a shell into the ground. To prevent this from happening, you should wait for full guidance.

The air pressure of our tank is -7° down and 14° up, which, coupled with speed and maneuverability, allows us to lean out from behind a hill, quickly attack and retreat.

Overview and camouflage

Review is not our strong point. 360 m at level VIII is not serious. “Coated optics” will give 396 m of visibility, but this is not that much.

We have practically no camouflage, since the Skorpion G is a rather tall vehicle. The crew perk “Camouflage” can slightly increase stealth. High visibility is compensated by maneuverability, thanks to which there is a chance to escape the enemy’s field of view unharmed.

Farm quality

Here Skorpion G is doing great thanks to its huge one-time damage. Our tank destroyer can inflict as much damage in one trip as other vehicles in its class inflict in several. With three or four successful shots you can earn 35-55 thousand silver without a premium account and 50-70 thousand with an activated PA.

Selecting equipment, consumables and crew perks

Upgrading the crew

We will try to increase the already good damage.

• Commander:“Light Bulb”, “Brotherhood”, “Disguise”, “Eagle Eye”
• Gunner:“Repair”, “Combat Brotherhood”, “Disguise”, “Smooth rotation of the tower”
• Mechanical drive:“Repair”, “Combat Brotherhood”, “Disguise”, “Smooth Move”
• Radio operator:“Repair”, “Combat Brotherhood”, “Disguise”, “Radio Interception”

Equipment selection

"Optimal assembly":“Rammer”, “Reinforced aiming drives”, “Coated optics” or “Stereo tube” (activated after stopping for 5 seconds). You can also install a “Camouflage Network”, but then we significantly lose our overview.

Choice of shells

Shell setup for playing in random (BB/BP/OF):

• "Fire support" - 20/8/2
• "Sniper" - 15/14/1

Equipment selection

Everything here is standard for all equipment - repair kit(small or large for your choice), first aid kit(exactly the same) and car fire extinguisher so as not to burn out. To maximize all the parameters of the tank, you can use “Chocolate”, but then you should play as carefully as possible.

Battle tactics

On the Scorpion you can play both as a sniper and as a fire support: the first role is the easiest to master - put the equipment in view, look for a good bush and shoot damage at careless and unwary enemies. Stay close to your allies, don't glow, stick to the second line. Effective, safe, a bit boring.

If you like adrenaline, play fire support. This means driving up with your allies to the point of collision, waiting until the enemy is distracted and attacking, and immediately hiding.

Remember that the safety margin is very small and should be saved. By the way, tactics from above can be combined - we play the first half of the battle in support, and when there is little health left, we switch to the sniper.

Don't drive on open space and don’t light up, because due to its weak armor and dimensions, Skorpion G is a priority target.

Review of the advantages and disadvantages of the tank. Results

Advantages:

• good dynamics;
• excellent accuracy;
• excellent penetration with a basic projectile;
• amazing one-time damage;
• 360° rotating cabin.

Flaws:

• complete lack of armor;
• the cabin is open, so it readily accepts landmines;
• inability to install ventilation;
• small size of ammunition;
• mediocre UVN;
• poor camouflage due to the high silhouette.

Farming has never been so easy and enjoyable! Skorpion G is suitable for beginners - thanks to penetration and alpha of 490 units. On this machine, good players produce average damage similar to the damage on some “tens”. Many consider Skorpion G one of best tanks in the game - both for farming and for comfortable play.

If you didn't have time to buy it, don't worry - sooner or later it will be put on sale again.

Good luck on the battlefields!

Everyone appreciates the time of day and welcome to the site! Today we will talk about new car, which 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 in any way good parameters, 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

One more strong point Machines, 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– 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 declination degree is reduced to -3. But there is also bright side medals, 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 performance armor penetration;
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 change positions frequently, 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, which will save you more than once, would be to take equipment for Rheinmetall Skorpion in the form , , , where the last option can be replaced with .

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.

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.

Scorpion World of Tank- this is a high-precision anti... Stop! This is not the animal world, but the world famous online game World of Tanks, in which players can experience first-hand military equipment from World War II and more! What kind of scorpions could there be here? You will also say that cockroaches run around on battlefields! This is the impression that the new German tank destroyer Rheinmetall Skorpion G may give to beginners or those who have not yet played WoT. But you and I clearly know how huge the “animal” world is in this game, and we will not be surprised by such a name, but will immediately begin to study the features of this premium tank, which, by the way, can be purchased in our store website by clicking on the link with a 100% guarantee of receipt.

ScorpionG tank with a "sting"
At first glance it seems that tankScorpion is pitiful and insignificant in comparison with other similar equipment, since it has no armor at all. A landmine that hits the turret turns the tank inside out. Even cardboard would apparently be much stronger than this combat unit. But if you think about it and remember that after the introduction of “golden” shells into the game, armor solves almost nothing, then why does it need it, especially having good camouflage and an excellent 128 mm gun. Just imagine, the average damage per shot is 490 units, with a penetration of 246-311 mm, depending on the type of projectile. Due to this, TankScorpion with its “sting” it annihilates any enemy of the same level with 2-3 shots. Do you think that with tanks of the ninth or tenth level, everything will be somehow different? Calm down, the breakdown and accuracy are quite enough to successfully attack unwary high-level vehicles, without fear of getting out of the spotlight ahead of time.

What sets Skorpion G apart from similar equipment:
Old-timers will say that buy scorpion tank It's possible, but its damage is nothing special. Upgraded tank destroyers such as Ferdinand or Jagdpanther II can boast the same indicators. And they will be right, but not one hundred percent. After all, in addition to one-time damage WITHscorpioG tank has excellent stabilization, which allows it to make accurate shots from virtually any distance. In addition, having good camouflage and mobility, this self-propelled gun will be able to suddenly appear, inflict impressive damage, and at the same time hide from enemy eyes. Changing a flank, knocking down a capture from a base, or quickly catching a lost enemy is as easy as shelling pears for the German Scorpio.

360° rotation
Scorpion World ofTank has another very significant feature. Its tower can rotate around its axis. In other words, in order to target your enemy, you do not need to turn the tank (as on the Yaga or Fed), thereby losing precious camouflage and aiming time. For a tank destroyer, 360° turret rotation is a huge plus, which significantly affects the overall outcome of the battle and combat effectiveness.

How to play Scorp:
Without armor, it is better not to go to the front line, but to carefully play from a medium or long distance. Those who have already managed tankScorpio buy, you should have noticed that he is a little tall. Therefore, despite its excellent camouflage and visibility, it is better to play the position from the farthest line, since from an average distance particularly sighted opponents will be able to detect it. In addition, if you know that the enemy will be able to detect you, it is better to change your location so that after firing a shot you can immediately roll back behind cover.

Currently in premium store from Wargaming, buy scorpion tank is not possible, but in our premium store website it is possible to purchase this tank destroyer; to do this, you need to follow the WoT link, because today this tank is the best premium vehicle for farming.
