One full Scarab will kill a Tick Tank. An Avatar would take one Scarab. Low and then kill the second before it launches.
What I meant is a burrowed tick tank. If I remember correctly, I had a tick tank harassing a harvester when 3 individual scarabs attacked the burrowed tick tank. The part with the Avatar, its going to take some special conditions. Maybe have an enemy flying unit fly over the avatar in a practice match while there is a scarab next to it. Do chem clouds explode from scarab explosions? It seems that from the chem warrior's quote, tiberium gas clouds are extremely flamable. It says "Nobody light a match".

I’m fairly sure 1 full Scarab will still take it out. Especially with the fire damage.
Maybe your our opponent had very low leveled Scarabs?
I can't be sure about that since the replay is long gone. I do have an alt that has access to an air unit; all I need to do now is unlock the scarab and test it against my tick tank in a custom match. The fire damage in the long run doesn't seem too count much.
