===In Real Life===
A descendant of the Cavalry tank of World War Two, the Scorpion was a descendent of the Scimitar. Its name comes from its role as an armed reconnaissance vehicle. Unlike traditional recce units whose mission is to observe while remaining unseen, armed recce units are deployed when there is a need to 'fight for information', according to their US cousins; the Cavalry branch of service. Simply put, such units are deployed in order to force the enemy to reveal their hand. Probing units of Scorpions can employ their HESH warheads to destroy enemy vehicles without the need for sustained fire as with autocannons who fire repeatedly until a lucky shot strikes somewhere squishy. It’s also the fastest tank in the world, further fulfilling its role as the member of the party whose job it is to aggro the boss and get the fuck out of dodge. 

Scorpions are armed with a 76mm L23 gun, performing similarly to a typical main battle tank of World War Two. Unfortunately, the Scorpion has been phased out of the British Army in 1994 due to budgetary reasons; it holds a middle ground between the light and mobile Scimitar and the hulking Challenger, lacking a rate of fire to destroy light vehicles and a gun incapable of engaging heavy armor.
