Tank description:

The M56 Scorpion is an American tier 7 premium tank destroyer.The M56 SPG was intended to support airborne units as a light tank destroyer that could be transported by cargo planes or inserted by parachute or glider. The vehicle was mass produced from 1953 through 1959, but it was not popular and was soon replaced by the Sheridan light tank. The Scorpion was occasionally used to provide artillery support in Vietnam.The M56 Scorpion was planned to be the first American TD in the premium shop and tech tree. But instead is a special/bundle premium that has been for sale about once a month on the NA sever. However, it was later added to in-game shop in 9.22 patch. It is the true glass cannon with only 1mm of armor. So take extreme caution to not get spotted, as you will be focused on immediately. The M56 can be very fun to play if played right as a sniper at the start of a battle and a close support tank towards the end. The gun is very good, if a little finicky at times, and can still pen quite a few tier 9s frontally when you aim for weak spots. Overall it can be a very fun vehicle once one gets the hang of it.
