"Suited for close range combat. Heavy firepower and the ability to quickly restore mobility. Can deploy anti-tank mines."

— In-game description

The Flanker Package is an unlockable vehicle package available for the FT-17 Light Tank in Battlefield 1.

Its Autocannon is good for harassing heavy armor, attacking light armor, and snuffing concealed infantry. By default it fires HE shells, but due to the lower caliber, the blast radius is very small.

An alternate canister shell option is available for dealing with large numbers of infantry and low-flying aircrafts (also the Airship Behemoth). It shares the same ammunition reserve with the default HE shells. That is to say, when one of the ammunition is depleted, both types of ammunition will enter reload phase, while the HE shell will be loaded little faster.

Its ideal role is to clear opposition pinned down in the open, and quickly dispose of enemy pathfinders attempting to bypass the front line. It can also effect suppression itself to support roaming infantry.

Care should be taken around heavy armor, as the auto cannon is the weakest of all the primary weapons on vehicles. A line of 3 AT Mines can be laid in advance of approaching vehicles, or as a means of quickly demolishing walls.

Track Repair allows the Flanker to avoid being itself the object of ambushes.

Trivia

• The May Update reduced the auto cannon's effectiveness against infantry by increasing reload time. To maintain effectiveness against vehicles, direct damage was increased.
