The Do 217 N-1 was German twin-engine night fighter based on the Do 217 J variant. The new aircraft differed from the J series only in its DB-603A engines and operational bomb bay. Otherwise, the two aircraft were virtually identical. It entered service in April 1943, and about 240 Do 217 N-1s were produced in total. These night fighters were primarily used to counter Soviet long-range bombers.

The Do 217 N-1 was introduced in Update 1.29. This night fighter's in-game features include excellent forward-firing armament with a large ammunition load, decent defensive armament, a search radar, and fairly good survivability thanks to its protected fuel tanks. Compared to the Do 217 J-2, this aircraft has more powerful engines, allowing it to reach higher speeds. It also has a functional bomb bay. However, the aircraft has drawbacks, including awful maneuverability, which prevents it from competing with single-engine fighters, and a low climb rate.
