Shortly after the development of the Sleipnir tank for the Army, the Navy insisted on having a tank of its own. Naturally, the new tank was more designed for the needs of the Navy, being more focussed on asisting naval operations with aircraft and the like. The result was the Arvakr, a powerfull Anti-Air tank which quickly saw service in both the Navy as station defense and support for air operations, and with the Army as support for ground units.

Compared to the Sleipnir model, the Arvakr is faster and more maneuverable, with increased armor on the top, but slightly less on the front and sides. Although designed primarily for Anti-Air, the Arvakr is still useful against infantry and lightly armored vehicles, which it chews apart with ease.

Hovering -------------------------------------------------------------

The Hovering process is all automated through sensors, so there is nothing you need to do control wise to maintain it. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

The hovering works by using gravity to pull the tank downwards when it is too high, and engines to push it back up when it gets too low.

Gravity activates above 2m
Engines Activate below 1.5m

In the Pilot's seat, you can find several flight controls (view the screenshot above) to help you in specific situations. Most of the time, you should not need to use these controls.

- The tank has 2 gravity generators inside of it, pulling down on 5 artificial mass blocks. For best results, try to keep the pull on the tank at 2 Gs. If you are in an environment that already has Gravity, you can turn one of the generators off. However, for Zero-G it is recommended that you use both internal Gravity Generators.

- You can turn off the artifical mass blocks if you wish to fly away from a Gravitational environment.

- Similarly, you can deactivate either/both sensors which control the hover (the one that activates/disables gravity and the one that activates/disables the engines) for more precision control. However, this is not recommended.

**Keep in mind that there are no downward thrusters. All downward movement is made through gravity.**

**It is recommended that you do not try highly aggressive maneuvers with the tank, as it may overcompensate and fly away from the terrain. For best results, do your best to keep the tank level as you fly, and slow down when negotiating obstacles.**
