Malaysian Armour: Scorpion II Recon Hover Tank (RHT)

After the induction of super heavy tank the Malaysian Armoured Corps were also requesting  a substantial unit of hover tanks. Hence the development of Scorpion II RHT. They were considered very effective and flexible although the small RHT did not carry the heavy guns carried on many designsit still retained its older brother 90 mm canon and the yet RHT was also under armored.

Still, RHT were very agile and extremely maneuverable. Like most upgraded designs, the RHT is a an adhoc design. As with most designs, most of the weapon systems are from its predessesor to reduce development costs. The RHT is only operated in limited numbers within the 4 Mech in Kuantan but is still well liked by their crews. Like most RHT designs, there has been some criticism that a more conventional hover tank would be more effective.
