Team : Felid Empire # Type 16 MCV Role : Tank Destroyer ## Addons | Addon | Cost | | -------------------- | ---------- | | Roof mounted .50 Cal | 150 points | ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/type-16-mcv.md#general-information) Description : The **Type 16 MCV** is a wheeled Tank Destroyer developed by Japan for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, entering service in 2016 as the Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle. Designed for rapid deployment to outlying islands and road-mobile anti-armour operations, it trades heavy armour for strategic mobility on a wheeled chassis. Weighing 26 tonnes, it is crewed by four — driver, gunner, commander, and loader — and reaches 100 km/h forward and 36 km/h in reverse. The **MHI 4VA** diesel produces 570 horsepower for a 21.9 hp/t power-to-weight ratio. Main armament is the **105mm JSW** cannon with a 5.5-second reload, supported by a coaxial **7.62mm Type 74** machine gun. The fire control system includes a laser rangefinder, third-generation white-hot thermals, lead computation, and zoom levels of 4x, 13.3x, and 26.7x. The Type 16 is fitted with a laser warning system, stabilizer, and smoke grenades for self-defense. This vehicle features a single addon: **Roof mounted .50 Cal**. The Roof mounted .50 Cal addon costs 150 points and equips the commander with a 12.7mm M2 heavy machine gun; this significantly improves the tank's effectiveness against infantry and provides a powerful tool for clearing obstructing foliage or light cover.
