## History

Class: Light Tank (Prototype)

Developed: 2019-2021

Service: N/A
V
ehicles Built: 1-2

Operators: N/A

This vehicle’s name stands for Mobile Protected Firepower, which is a U.S. Army program to replace the aging Stryker platform as the Strykers are to be decommissioned in the coming years. U.S. Airborne forces clearly need a highly mobile fire support platform, which effectively calls for a reincarnation of the old Light Tank concept that ended in active service with the M551 Sheridan.

Two companies answered the call – BAE Land Systems with its prototype based on the old M8 Thunderbolt II Light Tank, and General Dynamics with a Light Tank based on the Griffin demonstrator. The Armored Warfare MPF Light Tank version represents the latter. General Dynamics unveiled a single prototype in 2019 and the tank is currently undergoing trials. Despite some rumors, neither its hull nor its turret is based on the Abrams, although the prototype’s internal turret layout is similar to that of the M1A2 MBT, making it easier to train crews. The technology used in its design is fairly conventional with the primary armament being a 105mm low recoil gun.

The Armored Warfare version has been updated a bit compared to the real-life prototype and features NERA armor, Iron Fist APS and an experimental 120mm smoothbore cannon, which should in theory be able to fit in the turret.

## Vehicle Traits

* Stealthy: This vehicle does not lose any camouflage when moving at any speed, which is handy primarily for scouting.
* Hydraulic Suspension: This vehicle's hydraulic suspension allows you to tilt its hull to the front and to the rear for improved gun elevation and depression angles.
* NERA: This vehicle's ablative armor provides additional protection, but deteriorates with each hit it takes.
* Modern APS: This vehicle's advanced Active Protection System can destroy not only incoming ATGMs, but also other types of shells.

## Upgrades

### Armor

MPF LT Stock Armor
 This vehicle's steel body is relatively thin by itself, but it is covered by additional NERA modules. NERA modules offer excellent protection at the beginning of a match, but their protection levels decrease with damage taken.

### Weapon

**Stats:**

* **Depression/Elevation**: -7.0° / 20.0°
* **Depression/Elevation incl. Suspension**: -10.0° / 23.0°

## Abilities

**Description:**This ability temporarily improves your vehicle's acceleration, turret and hull traverse rates, and damage dealt to modules as well as your reload speed and the time it takes to repair your own modules. It also grants extra protection against ramming damage. However, it also reduces your maximum speed, the effect of foliage on your camouflage and makes your vehicle easier to spot when firing your weapon.

**Description:**Once activated, the APS starts intercepting all incoming projectiles (save for autocannon ones) with increased frequency, consuming APS charges in the process.
