The Lion is a member of the Tiger family of infantry fighting vehicles, and is designed to serve as a command infantry carrier and a medium/heavy tank under a variety of combat conditions. The Tiger family is particularly popular among mercenary units because of the comparatively low cost. Maintenance compatibility with the range of Tiger vehicles is also a popular feature. The entire crew including the six man infantry squad has been provided with roomy seats to facilitate egress under combat conditions. One of the machine guns is manned by the infantry crew, and the second is manned by the vehicle commander. P>
