The FV721 Fox is a tier 6 Armored Fighting Vehicle originating from the United Kingdom, and is sold by Sophie Wölfli. It can be unlocked from the VBL, and leads to the VBL Ingwe.

Features

• Subtle movement: moving on a low speed doesn't reduce your camouflage factor. .
• Designated target: vehicle has the ability to designate targets that are within line of sight and vision range. Designated targets are called out and takes increased damage.
• Recon package: this vehicle's recon package provides an improved vision range when stationary.

Player Recommendations

Fast, deadly, and stealthy, the FV721 Fox is a lightly armored but mobile vehicle, capable of flanking around slower enemy vehicles and punishing them with a devastating two shot ATGM launcher and 30mm autocannon. It also works well as a long-range fighter with excellent camouflage, a good view range, and excellent gun depression that make it stealthy and mobile enough to fire at targets, then quickly relocate. Close range fighting should be avoided if possible, because the low health pool and terrible armor of the Fox makes it an easy target for enemy guns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Excellent camouflage rating
• Very good mobility
• Very good gun depression
• Devastating burst damage with ATGM launcher

Cons

• Difficult to control
• Negligible armor
• Low damage autocannon

Retrofit Suggestions

• Advanced Muzzle Reference System
• Augmented Optics
• Improved Gun Breech

The FV721 Fox was created as a replacement for the obsolete FV701 Ferret Scout Car. Equipped with a 30mm RARDEN cannon, the FV721 Fox offered a powerful punch in a compact package for its class. The phased out Fox turrets along with phased out Scorpion hulls were actually used to produce a rather peculiar hybrid vehicle, the Sabre.
