The Type 16 (P) or more specific MCV Prototype No.3 (99-0292) was the third out of 4 prototypes towards the Type 16 MCV. It differs from the production model of the Type 16 MCV in some aspects, such as the shape of the turret, the gun mounting, and the chassis. It was tested by the JGSDF from 2014 to 2015, along with the other three prototypes, before the final design was approved and mass production began in 2016.

It was introduced in Update "Drone Age". Being a fast, wheeled vehicle, it can traverse the map at high speeds, using Gen 3 thermals with a laser rangefinder to acquire targets on the fly making quick work on flanks and long range. The Type 16 also provides a laser warning system, which can be used to evade long-range shots if the driver responds to it with the mobility the Type 16 offers on top of smoke grenades which can be used to hide from helicopters.
