Moust L-1 "Owl" Nightfighter Tank

"Do not let your opponent rest, fight them well into the night..."

The L-1 was Moust's sixth attempt at a tank, yet was by far the first to be successful. A three-man tank mounting what was an anti-aircraft gun with a two-shot magazine in a one-man turret, as well as a bow machine gun. The driver station was ahead of its time, so ergonomic that the controls found use in Erilian tanks during the war.

It was designed to be capable of fighting in nighttime conditions, and included another revolution in the appearance of the 'projectile launcher', nowadays called a smoke launcher. It was capable of firing smokes or, in this night fighting configuration, parachute flares.

By technicality- more often called 'hard factors'- it was roughly equal to the Aerio B/41 and inferior to the B/5. Yet often found itself succeeding against both due to its two-shot magazine allowing an immediate follow-up to its first shot. It was also ergonomically superior to drive and the commander in the turret had superior, protected view in most cases.

It was nothing to sneeze at against heavier threats, either. The development of a high-velocity armour-piercing round meant it was capable of defeating most armoured threats well into the war and was more than capable of supporting infantry to lethal results. It was also significantly smaller than most counterparts and thus was surprisingly cheap to produce.

To operate electronics, the Power switch in the drivers position must be on at a minimum. The turret is 'hand-cranked' and thus does not require power to operate, but the stabiliser does.

The driver has simple switches to turn on power and start the engine, the arrow keys are connected to a throttle, separate from the forwards/backwards controls on the W and S keys, this allows for variation in speed and is set to half-speed at default. A and D are used for steering and neutral steering is possible.

The commander has the option to load two rounds into the magazine of the gun, you must load slowly as to not cause a misfire. The stabiliser switch is located next to the notepad.

The bow gunner has access to a radio, which has the option to access 100+ channels and has a push-to-talk button, the gun is controlled with WASD.
