 The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a SAM system carrying Type 91 SAM missiles on a BXD10 (Toyota Mega Cruiser), built to replace the [[Oerlikon KDA (35 mm)]] emplacements and [[Type 87]] SPAAG carrying the same guns. Being built on a jeep it allows Japanese anti-air crews to use it as a very rapid response vehicle against aerial threats.
-It was introduced in [[Update "Starfighters"]]. Easily capable to reach its top speed, it can get behind the enemy tank force and protect the battlefield from any incoming air threats. This is best done to evade any kind of ground engagement while closing the gap on air spawns since the Type 93 lacks any kind of radar and can only fire once an aircraft is locked, making it almost impossible to combat any ground target. It does, however, double as a great scouting vehicle, equipping thermal sights, a small profile and fast manoeuvrability it can get to any scouting spot and out of it again while lighting up the whole map for the friendly team.

 The launcher features a centralised optic system and 2 x 4 launchers located on either side. The turret is capable of 360 degree turning and elevation of 70 degrees, but there is no depression on the launcher meaning firing at targets below you will be difficult.
-The missiles use an infrared and image-guidance system. It can lock onto heat-emitting targets but is also smart enough to detect the target through countermeasures, thus nullifying common countermeasures such as flares. The optics contain a TV camera, infrared sensors, laser receivers and IFF antennas. These feed through to a launch control device located on the passenger side of the vehicle.
+The missiles use an infrared and image-guidance system. They can lock onto heat-emitting targets and have IRCCM to help make flares less effective to the seeker. The missiles also have an optical contrast guidance mode which is useful for locking onto targets that you normally could not lock due to their lower heat signature or from longer distances. However, it only works well against targets that are flying at higher altitudes and during good weather conditions. The mode does not work at night. The optics contain a TV camera, infrared sensors, laser receivers and IFF antennas. These feed through to a launch control device located on the passenger side of the vehicle.
 This optic also allows you to track onto targets within ±1 degree of the sight, however offers no radar itself to spot incoming enemies so they must be manually spotted and locked.
-The launcher has a warm up time of 4s before it can gain a lock and fire the missiles. It is advised to keep the missiles warmed at all times to intercept fast-moving jets. Only 1 missile can be fired per lock and warm up and lock on must be achieved again.

 One of the main advantages of this vehicle is the speed, your main goal will be not on the front lines but behind offering support or flanking to intercept air targets. With a range of 6 km in any aspect you will need to move closer to the enemy than would be ideal for a vehicle like this. This vehicle is ideal for taking wide flanks through less trafficked parts of the map to get into position to lay ambushes for enemy air. While waiting for enemy air targets to spawn, you can also scout ground targets for your team.
-On some maps you can be key to getting a quick cap on a middle point, or decapping a less contested point giving your team a slight advantage. Using your speed you can get in and out before many tanks realise you were even there.
+On some maps you can be key to getting a quick cap on a middle point, or de-capping a less contested point giving your team a slight advantage. Using your speed you can get in and out before many tanks realise you were even there.
-In SB this vehicle really shines as maps are larger to allow more flanking so you can set up ambushes easier. Though the downside is as this vehicle does not feature radar you will have to rely on sounds and team callouts to know where to aim. However this is offset by the fact your missile lock on does not set off early warning unless you activate tracking, and by the time enemies see you it will be too late to avoid.

@@ Line 111: / Line 111: @@
 * Very high top speed for a ground vehicle.
-* Its armament of SAMs can be deadly, especially at long range.
+* Optical IR lock prevents enemy aircraft from getting radar warning.
 * Missiles can be fired on the move.
-* Fire and forget - after you successfully locked and launched missile, you can retreat without having to lead the target, unlike other SPAA.

 '''Cons:'''
-* Missiles have a high tendency to miss targets.
+* Missiles only have 10G maximum overload.
-* Explosive mass on rockets is usually not enough to down jets and helicopters in 1 shot, more than 1 is usually required.
+* Minimal armor.
-* Can easily be destroyed by heavy machine guns and strafing aircraft.
+* Can only engage air targets.
-* No gun armament for backup
+* No radar to detect incoming aircraft
