General information
The Type 16 (FPS) is an early production model of the Type 16 which belongs to the 14th Brigade, 15th Rapid Deployment Regiment, 1st 16 MCV company.
Introduced in Update "Sky Guardians" as a pack premium, it comes with the same shells and gameplay as the Type 16 (P), and the armour of the Type 16. 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.
