== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a squadron rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese light tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Dance of Dragons"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.''

Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

'''Cons:'''

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Media ==

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

+The CTWV RCV is a reconnaissance vehicle that lacks composite armor but is filled with spall liner and rolled homogeneous armor, making it difficult for armor-piercing shots to eliminate the crew members. The CTWV RCV has a larger crew than typical reconnaissance vehicles, consisting of five members: driver, gunner, commander, machine gunner, and loader, which enhances its survivability.
-'''Armour type:''' <!-- The types of armour present on the vehicle and their general locations -->
+The engine is located at the front of the CTWV RCV, providing extra protection for the crew. It can withstand low-velocity armor-piercing shots and HEAT rounds, but a shot to the engine will immobilize the vehicle, leaving it vulnerable. The ammunition is not armored and is positioned in the lower middle of the tank.

Mitsubishi based their CTWV on the already developed [[Type 16 (Family)|Type 16 MCV]] (Program A), while Komatsu, as the original developer of the Type 96 WAPC, pushed a redesigned upgrade of the Type 96 WAPC (Program B). Komatsu's project was soon cancelled in July 2018, leaving Mitsubishi as the only remaining developer.
