The Type 87 RCV (P) is the prototype stage of the Type 87 RCV and differs primarily in the turret. While the prototype boasts only a 20 mm autocannon, it does come with an expensive stabilizer which wasn't retained in the main production version.

It was introduced in Update "La Royale". Offering the same great mobility as its main production model, its firepower is dampened due to its smaller calibre and is lesser damage and penetration as a result. The safest way to utilize the Type 87 RCV (P) is by playing in its intended role: as a reconnaissance combat vehicle. Scout out targets from vantage points, and use the 20 mm purely for self-defence and against softer targets that are doing the same recon role.
