Is this correct ? I thought all support vehicles had a 'one hit anywhere'
defensive rating regardless of construction.

Nicely done. But two hits is better than one for a supply vehicle and
you also get the frontal hit exclusion for being a tank. Looks great.

It's 76 mm cannon would give it the full 40 rounds. The only advantage it
would have is speed and modestly small size.

the only "tank" on the islands because of it's light weight and ability to
travel over soft surfaces that a modern MBT would sink into. The Scorpion's
ground pressure is merely 4 lbs per square inch ... less than a human
standing on foot.
