The DLT-2, officially Dove Light Tank - 1, was Dove Manufacturing's second tank design. It, like it's predecessor, was produced in limited numbers but saw more success as more countries bought it but it did not reach the same numbers as it's predecessor. It did however see more combat seeing use in The March War and the Grammarian Civil War.
