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.

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.
