Description
The Type16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle was developed as a wheeled fighting vehicle with the mobility, firepower, protection, and command and control functions necessary for short deployment and leading combat missions in island combat and guerrilla response, and was equipped in 2016.
The main gun is a JSW modified version of the British 105mm L7 gun with reduced recoil.With its 570 hp 4VA engine, it can reach a top speed of 100 km/h. Its light weight of 26 tons allows it to be transported by air on a C-2 transport plane.
This vehicle was called Practical Test Vehicle, and was built for practical testing, the next step after the prototype stage.
Features include a uniquely shaped turret side module, space for 2~4 infantrymen in the rear of the vehicle hull, a large hatch (the ammunition box in the rear of the vehicle hull cannot be used), and a turret rear basket similar to those equipped on Type 16 production(C4 lot and later).
Remote weapon station is available.

Really nice discriptions, I think this would be a separate vehicle from the prototypes, the prototypes should have a “Year” or “Type” modification for the specific model that you can choose which one you’d like to use

+1 My personal favorite MCV prototype. It is the most unique variant imo.
From the aggressive turret shape design, having passenger compartment in the rear, having rubber flap side skirts and even is tested with RWS.

Note the additional of the cleaning rod case attached to the back of turret basket. This feature is later added onto the Type 16 C4 and C5.

Btw here is my idea, adding MCV prototypes with the Type 93 APFSDS.
For the Type 16 once the new improved Type 93 APFSDS is introduced, it should be added to all Type 16 and move them at a little bit higher BR than the MCVs.
