Hello everyone,
GruntGuy (presumably from US server) sent me a bunch of photos of the M56 Scorpion, sitting in the Elmwood Park, New Jersey, USA. Let’s have a look at them. Notice the exposed ammorack and the strange steering wheel. Damn, I wish they restored it instead of letting it rust in some park….
The shape of the steering wheel looks to be caused by lack of clearance for the drivers legs.
Yep
I DON’T SEE THE 1MM ARMOR … THE CANNON STAY ON AIR ??? NO … BUT WG SEE 1MM ARMOR ON ANY ZONE OF THIS TANK …. WG OF MY ASS
It has an aluminum hull. Small arms fire can penetrate this machine. The 1mm armor designated for it by WG is just a place holder. On the plus side, it’s less likely to rust.
Obviously an American tank. If Russian tank, driver must fit around tank!
I bet I can kick tru its armors.
It faster to just punch the crews.
would be even faster to throw a grenade at the back.
They can be disabled with just a dirty look.
Not funny! My uncle got killed like that on a Scorpion in Vietnam!!!
(just kidding)
Hey SS, offtopic but..
Is it intentionall that the Derp on the Sherman 3 weighs 2 tons less than the same gun on the M4 american?
It doesnt have McBurgers on it.
Lol, thanks for laugh Woras. Haha :D
It’s the same reason why the machinegun of RenaultFT weighs less on the NC-31 and the Renault Otsu. :P
TIer 7 will be better for it.
Now… if only WG made the SU-122-44 the Tier 8 normal TD (with a BL9S as top gun) in the 261 line… instead of toilet tank 2 (it could be the T8/T7 premium!)
and what would all us 122 44 drivers get???
You know the 261 is an arty piece right? Putting a TD in an arty line would be really fricking weird.
The SU101 is an awesome tank. Decent mobility, high DPM. It just requires some thought on positioning because it has no depression – get caught on the brow of a hill and your dead.
im surprised that its still standing there and nobody wanted to steal it…
It has mechanical gearbox.
You mean manual :P
Forgot how its in ingrish.
In lithuanian words its either mechanical or automatic.
It has some merit actually, as automatic have converters ;) .
and? just turn it in neutral and then you have it. or you just take a crane.
Also it’s aluminium, so it’s worthless as scrap.
oh.. aluminium :D how much for kilo? :P
on a weight / price basis it’s worth much more than conventional steel armor.
but a cooper steam-punk tank would be the wet dream of the scrap metal collectors. ;)
Really? 5x-8x more worth on scrapyard :) , depending where you are.

That ammo rack at the back :o
How much gold for the pigeon poo camo?
Comes free with purchase. if you want rust with that, it will cost 1 Kidney.
Strange place to put a fire hydrant. It’s not a German tank FFS!
1 mm of armor?? Even HE shell are a waste of ammo, better throw rocks at this thing
>exposed ammo rock
So in theory single HE shell no matter the caliber would detonate this shit right ?
Well too bad logic doesn’t apply in WoT and well will eventually see someone getting a fucking wall of steel in it
Damn, I wish they restored it instead of letting it rust in some park….
If you think that is bad you should really take a trip to kubinka tank museum. When I was there for the first URAL STEAL, I was shocked at the conditions. Dust bunnies the size of REAL bunnys, layers of dirt on tanks and if you have to go to the restroom you better hold it because the toilets there are HORRENDOUS. The tanks you see in The Chieftain’s Hatch have been cleaned up DRAMATICALLY before the shoot.
Well, in my country Gypsies would strip it for scrap metal overnight. They take park benches in broad daylight here…
:D those rich ‘muricans ignore monyz under the noses :P
The price of steel per ton makes it not worth the effort. Plus its kinda out in the open with lots of people seeing what your doing…
Interesting to see that tracks are garage-style…
Thanks for sharing these, SS. I’m actually from the EU server, but on holiday in the states visiting my wife’s family. It is a shame it’s been left there and not looked after. I tried to find out how long it’s been there. My wife (26) remembers it being there when she was a kid, so at least 10-15 years. Her mother remembers it being there for the entire 40 years she has lived here. Whether it has really been there that long is uncertain, but it’s a decent estimate.
I’ve seen a few guys on the NA forum who have expressed an interest in cleaning up the vehicle in response to this post, which I think is fantastic. Thanks again for sharing these photos. Hopefully this vehicle gets the care it deserves.
huh, something from NJ…
shame its a bit too far just to go see it. I would love if it got restored.
