Kalran: Tales of the four nations/McDowell "Elie"

"Elie, ready to roll for battle!"

-McDowell "Elie" leaving the Armor Depot

The McDowell "Elie" is the standard light tank of the UCAAF forces, planned to be voiced by Julia McIlvaine.

Tactical Analysis

 * Made for speed and agility: Though not as strong or tough as the Starks, the McDowell "Elie" is the fastest basic light tank available at Alcradia, able to outrun some certain Light tanks, MBT, and all variants of the Starks and amphibious to boot. And though its repeater cannon can't do much against a tank its extremely accurate and can be very effective when fired into the weak points in enemy armor.
 * Don't blink: Another weapon mounted on top of the Elie turret is a flashbang launcher. Which fires a burst of flashbang grenades that temporarily blinds enemy vehicles and leave infantry reeling on the ground and vulnerable
 * Shut down the party: But the main strength of the Elie is its jammer rocket, which temporarily disable targeted and surrounding vehicles upon impact, though its only deadly against vehicles, while tanks will take only scratches
 * Less armor than a snow blower: But for its speed and amphibious ability the Elie has thin aluminium armor, meaning that high caliber rounds can easily damage it and can take up to two hits, at the very best, against anti-tank weaponry

History
"Those McDowells are weaker than the Starks, but they are fast. Come in great numbers, though they will never outnumber us, and their rockets can either lock down our forces to give the main force the first strike or cut off our retreat."

Trivia

 * It is named after Elie MacDowell, the heroine of The Legends of Heroes: Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki.
 * The McDowell "Elie" is a fusion of the ww2 Stuart tank, Grizzly Tank from Red Alert 2, the Bulldog from Mental Omega and the Light Tank from Red Alert 1, though the latter is based on the Dawn of the Tiberium Age version.
