===Iranian Variant=== [[File:Scorpian Iran Stats.png|300px|left|thumb|Iran]] The Iranian Scorpion faces many of the same problems that the [[M113 106mm Recoilless]] does. Tasked with the light anti-armour role, this unit is in direct competition with the [[M60 Patton]] and [[Jeep]]. However, it does come with spearhead and scout. Unlike these previous two units, the Scorpion is probably an auto-include considering Iran’s few recon options. ROF 1 (moving) and the relatively low AT might be a huge problem in the firepower department, but the Scorpion is going to be used in the exact same roles: engaging targets with armour 5 or less. Compared to the Jeep and M113 106mm, it trades brutal for additional shots that can destroy armour. It has a serious range disadvantage, meaning the Patton is probably going to be your weapon of choice for long-ranged engagements. So, how should this unit be deployed? As with the British Scorpion variant, this unit should be used to threaten flanks and deploy units outside of your starting area. It might not have the anti-infantry niche of brutal 106mm guns, but 8 shots downrange can be enough to seriously impede enemy armour, especially with the meta’s preference for light tanks such as the Leopard 1, AMX-30 and T-55AM2. Kill a tank or two, and the platoon has made its points back. Rout the platoon and you’ve traded 4 points of armour for a significantly bigger chunk of the enemy force. Otherwise, their ability to draw fire and impede the advance of armour can be a serious requirement considering Iran’s dependence on its infantry and vehicular ATGMs to destroy tanks. A very powerful unit that provides reconnaissance to the Iranian army while serving as an ideal middle ground between the anti-light armor niche of Iranian tanks, and the anti-infantry niche of 106mm carriers. {{clear}}
