The M850D Grizzly Enhanced Main Battle Tank is the latest iteration of the Grizzly EMBT, and features a update design based on the modernisation upgrades delivered to the M820A Scorpion. The Grizzly carries an edge over the Scorpion in terms of size, armament, and armour, but conversely is harder to deploy, has higher operating costs, and has a higher price tag.
Bringing it into commonality with the M820 Scorpion has eased maintenance requirements, and allows for its continued deployment, at cost of retiring older models to rear line units, or scrapping them entirely. The M850D now carries two PALADIN Weapon Stations that can be independently operated, or tied to the main gun, and have replaced the main guns with long-barrel 150mm electrochemical cannons, bigger brothers to the Scorpion's M990 ETCSB Cannon. It carries a missile payload of 8 Fang missiles, a lethal threat to enemy vehicles outside of line of sight, and giving it the ability to blanket areas with fire. Thanks to its enhanced armament, and heavier armour, it fulfils the roll of heavy tank, being sent to tackle heavy enemy armour, or attack enemy strong points, in roles similar to the Army's M1000 Tiger Heavy Battle Tank.
