M808B Scorpion (Earth-5875)

"This here is 66 tons of straight-up, HE-spewin', dee-vine intervention!"

- - Sergeant Major Avery Johnson

The M808B Scorpion is a variant of the M808 Scorpion. Differently from its predecessor, the M808B features a coaxial-mounted automated M231 machine gun, and thus lacks a gunner.

Design
The M808B is equipped with a coaxial-mounted M231 machine gun, which stays beside the tank's primary weapon and points at roughly the same direction.

History
The M808B was extensively used during the Secession, later seeing its way to the First Contact War, serving alongside the M808C Scorpion.

The UNSC Spirit of Fire used many M808B Scorpions during the closing months of the Shanxi Campaign, which were issued for the defense of civilians at the later First Battle of Arcadia in 2531. Scorpions were used alongside HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Mantises then the crew of the Spirit of Fire fought against three Type-47 Scarabs. At the Battle of Etran Harborage, the Spirit of Fire used many M808B Scorpions to fight against the Covenant, xenomorphs and Sentinels.
