It has been confirmed that the Type 16 MCV is capable of attitude control.
It can likely perform elevation and fore/aft tilt, similar to the Type 90 MBT.

You know technically with the addition of Maylasia and Indonesia this thread should change names

Based on the vehicle’s posture, the camouflage net in the foreground, and the positioning of the vehicle in the background, I found a video that likely shows the same vehicle. However, it was not demonstrating suspension movement but rather a combat drill demonstration.
Perhaps he mis-captioned a photo taken during emergency braking with “attitude control,” or perhaps he simply meant to point out that the suspension, stabilizers, and FCS keep the gun stable even during hard braking.
In any case, this does not prove that the 16MCV has attitude control functionality.

During the EFV event, I grinded a lot of vehicles from the M47 all the way to the Type 90, and ended up with two of them. I was planning to go for the TKX (P) next to complete an 11.7 lineup, but then Gaijin decided to decompress the BR and bumped the TKX (P) up to 12.0, which changed my plan.
Now I’m not sure if it’s even worth getting the TKX (P), or if I should just grab the Type 16 and Type 93 instead, so I can have five vehicles in Rank VII to grind the Type 10 slightly faster. The TKX (P) would probably just end up as a backup for Type 10 lineup.
To be honest, my luck with the Type 90 hasn’t been great. I’ve been losing a lot since its shells struggle against top-tier armor, and most matches end way too fast because of one-dead leavers and CAS.
Honestly, 9.3 matches were way more fun.
If I stay at 11.7, at least I’ll get some downtier games every now and then.

(Still waiting for Type 25 RCV to get it’s correct designation ingame)

In some research for this i found some documents that stated in the original plans it was going to have passive hydro suspension which i assume just uses the system as a regular suspension system without control
Interesting nonetheless but i have no idea if the production model ever kept that
That is true; both prototype and production models use Horstman Hydrostrut.

The product page states that it has a height adjustment feature, but it is unclear how much it can be raised or lowered.

I made a bug report regarding the Type 10’s movement inertia (so it stops rocking around like ham), hopefully gaijin will see and fix this issue in the upcoming update

Are there any non-domestic competitors? ( I believe it will be 03kai as well)
Thailand has some HQ-22 (we all know how this could end, again), but neither Indonesia nor Malaysia have anything to offer as top tier SAMs iirc.

Possibly, the new leak contains only a boat🥲
from the trailer seems like only 2 ships (Nagato being the prem and Musashi being TT), im hoping they add something nice for ground.
Just a bit of hopium that it’s the Chu-MPM’s Middle range Multi Purpose Missile/中距離多目的誘導弾 - #8 by skultew1234 or the STC
Finish the 9.3/9.7 Lineup, then get Type 90 (B) (if you want to have a better 11.7 lineup) then the Type 81 (C). The TKX (P) is definitely worth it, as even at 12.0 it’ll still be pretty good. Everything the Type 10/TKX has but a slightly worse round 2 steps below it.
I think 11.7 is Japan’s best lineup again. F-5E/T + F-4EJ Kai / AH-64DJP / Type 90 + Type 90 (B) + Type 81 (C) + Type 16 + RCV/ICV + Type 93 + Type 87 AW + Type 89
Lots of choices. All of these vehicles are viable at 11.7. And at 11.7 you avoid most of the overpowered CAS.
