DESC

The M19 Lion (originally Löwe, as it was designed and first made in Germany) is a European Main Battle Tank designed to possibly replace the Leopard 2 in the 2020s, being made in 2021 by Sterne-Labor. While it did not make it to that large role, it did however get used by smaller European countries. Its main goals were: Become lighter, possibly faster, and better armored.

WEAPONRY
1x RH-120 L/55 120mm Smoothbore cannon

1x M2HB (Commander's gun)

2x M60 (Coaxial and Gunner's gun)

120MM AMMUNITION LAYOUT
6 - LAHAT

24 - APFSDS-T

6 - HEAT

= 36 max capacity would be 40

Ammunition is put behind a blast door, so if anything goes wrong, the crew is more likely to survive in the event of ammo racking or explosion.

CONCEALMENT

Being that this is a MBT, it may play a defensive or offensive hunter role. So usually, the M19 is painted for its intended region of service. Either a flat or a mixed color pattern. For hiding purposes crews may put nets, bushes, and ect. to fit its roll. As well as 7x smoke grenade launchers.

Sensors, sights, and others

Reasons for A2 modification

The M19A2 was designed due to the previous hull having too much side armor and too short in height, crew had problems moving and other things. This new hull has similar performance but the problems were solved. Other than that, nothing new.
